When China’s prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn’t just the machinery of a surveillance state at play.

    She developed a new form of 3D printer for printing extremely long objects.

    The printer can effectively print a chain forever if given enough filament, as it prints at a 45 degree angle on a belt.

    Good for cosplay swords, poles, staffs, belts, lamp posts, other long and hard things.
