ABS plastic is actually really strong. (Think Lego blocks.) Plus, they're coming out with new materials that you can 3D Print all the time. There's ceramic and metal printers - and there's a guy making a wood/plastic hybrid that's kind of like the fiberboard you can buy at a lumber yard. So who knows what you could print it out of in a couple years!

Everytime I see anything to do with 3-D printing it conjures up images of the Replicator on Star Trek.
Life imitating art. I love it!

He's posted a new video which has a much better example of the pipes being played.

In the update email I got, he says, "I also decided to do my best to challenge the widely held belief that 'the only place you're likely to find a well dressed Smallpiper is on an undertaker's slab'" and is kilted up nicely in the video!
