Misleading title, post is an advertisement for 3d printing. Hates the state of 3d printing, building 3d printing vending machines a la red box.
That being said, it's a really cool idea. But post title is obnoxious IMHO.

As far as the writing goes though, I never understand why people try to generate interest through negativity and deceit. I think the post would be more inspiring if it went something like:
"I love 3d printing. I love 3D printing so much that I'm coming up with innovative ways to make it cheaper and more ubiquitous. Please join me on my quest to bring 3D printing to everyone..."
It's more genuine, less condescending, and isn't a lie. After all, you don't hate 3D printing in the least, not one bit. You're in love with it and are dedicating a portion of your life to making it better.
I've posted with titles/descriptions such as these on other forums, and have seen virtually no response, but it could be that I didn't write a decent article.
My next post will have a few of the technical details about what we're up to, and will definitely have a more positive/fitting title.
That being said, I wanted to read the about hating 3d printers because I bought one for my family - and less than an hour in, with a collection of pre-rendered freshly printed objects in front of us, my wife (an artist and science geek) says "I'm going to make so many things..." (She's excited by the possibilties)
