    The basic functioning of crispr, including sequences, is public knowledge already. The difficult part is turning that into a functional gene editing system that doesn’t give everyone cancer. A few hundred bucks might get you one semi-functional used centrifuge, it definitely will not provide a whole lab any time in the next several decades. More importantly, it won’t pay the people who know how to develop functional and safe gene editing tech.

    We can synthesize DNA and there are even really cool projects that have used it to build complex 3D nanostructures, but idk what you’re talking about with 3 shades and a toner. DNA synthesis and 3D printing are very different, and the former doesn’t use shades or toner.
