When China's prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn't just the machinery of a surveillance state at play. Instead, it was a confluence of state repression and the sometimes capricious attention of a Western audience that, as she asserts, often views Chinese activists more as ideological tokens than as genuine human beings.

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.

    Combine that with the multi filament feature of Bamboo printers(IIRC), and hot swappable spools, and you can literally print until something else in the system breaks.

    There are replacements for other parts too, like the diamond tip that's supposed to be really durable.
