Flight of Fancy: CNC / 3D Printer for the Ultimate RAD

[Raissermesser]

Got this idea after looking at the Razorock Mamba. Imagine a tabletop CNC milling machine to turn out your own razors. Think they start at $6,000 and go up, but just imagine it. A library of shave heads to mill, as well as designing your own.

Then I wondered if you could do the same with 3D printing. That would likely be cheaper for trying designs on a whim, but is it feasible? Then I thought about using 3D printing to make forms to make molds and pouring shaving heads and handles. That would likely be between a CNC machine and 3D printer in cost.

Now I'm wondering if I could make my own CNC milling machine or at least a Dave Gingery milling machine. Hmm ...

Interesting idea!

But how would you explain the package to the LOTH?? (She will certainly notice the machine.)

Is there an update to this? Did the 3D printing yield serviceable razors?
