Do you know of any factory in The U.S. that can manufacture them? Even if there is a factory in a business friendly state like Texas, the cost of production would be many times that of a Chinese factory because of federal business interference policies that drive up the cost of everything not even considering the horror show of union involvement.

It's a glorified quick-setting pastry tube. :-)
Line drawings, even in 3D, aren't what I think of as "3D printing."
Notice that these objects are not solid and they don't even have surfaces. They're just wireframes that you draw out in space.
It's cheap in China because they use near slave labour. Without unions you'd all be working in sweat shop conditions.
Yea, I'm soaking wet. o_O
