Re:Glassomer: Glass shaping at room temperature by Gibbon1 on Thursday June 18, 2020 @11:55PM (#23570810)
I was just thinking that it might be useful for making lab glassware. Often you have complex shapes which takes a master scientific glass blower to make. 3D printing would make that a lot more accessible.

In case anyone is wondering it takes years to become proficient as a scientific glass blower and the wages totally suck. Used to be scientific glass blowers would up and quit and open a neon shop because it paid better.
