Prices are reasonable for a custom pipe, but not so reasonable compared to the model of 3Dponics, which gives away the STL files for free.īy now, it may have occurred to some readers: just how safe is it to smoke out of a plastic pipe? Or, at least, this occurred to me. All of this is then 3D printed by the company and shipped to your door so that you can receive your own personalized bong in a huge range of colors, such as UV Color Changing Sunlight and Glow-in-the-Dark Blue.

They’ve also got 3D printed mini pipes and a case for weed concentrate. Fun spirals and multi-chambered pillars add a unique look to the pipe that might not be achievable through glass blowing. Perhaps inspired by the modularity of 3Dponics’ hyrdroponic system, Lifted Innovations offers customers the ability to purchase printed components to build their own pipes at home, including bases, percolators, tops, and more, all of which can be threaded together with printable threads. Both a cloudy conversation starter and a friend, a water pipe must be appealing to the eye and, by 3D printing the bong itself, a whole new range of complexity can be achieved, previously impossible with traditional glass blowing. Anyone who’s strolled the Venice promenade knows that, for those who smoke regularly, the aesthetic of a bong is of the utmost importance.

A new startup from Indiana seems to suggest, “What better reason to get lifted?” As marijuana legalization continues across the US, there may be an increasing number of businesses, like 3Dponics, looking to capitalize on both. Marijuana market research firm ArcView Group has estimated that the marijuana market was worth $2.7 billion in 2014, an increase of 74% from the year before, while Wohlers estimates that the 3D printing market, which hit $4 billion in 2014, will exceed $7 billion in 2016.
