Anyone who raises an eyebrow at paying $85 for a Deep Rock Galactic mug must know they are 'the most complicated mug made industrially on Earth'

Plastic? At this price, wouldn't ceramic be on par?
- I assume so you can throw them just like in the game
  
  Which is awesome, but then it shouldn't cost this much.
  Unless if it's made of some of the actually ultra high performance plastics, like maybe polycarbonate or carbon fiber reenforced PA-6/PPA for example, but I highly doubt that's the case

Plastic cartoonie looking mugs for close to a hundred dollars. LMAO

For almost a hundred bucks, I expect this to be high quality and made ceramic or double walled vacuum sealed stainless steel. This looks worse than what some higher end 3d printers can do in a few hours.
- I would not recommend drinking out of anything 3d printed.
  
  I don't know if Id recommend drinking out of that cheap plastic one either.
  
  You would probably put a metal insert into it.

I get them, niche shit is going to be expensive when you make them this way (high quality molds)
- Its a plastic mug lmao
  
  They don't even really look that good. A 3d printer could probably have similar output in an afternoon for less than 10 bucks of filament

There's a lot of armchair experts on manufacturing here.
No it can't be 3D printed, that will never beat injection molding in this use case.
You must be living on the moon if you think this can be made from ceramic/steel for $50.
Sorry but yall haven't got a clue

They look so cheap.

For plastic? Ridiculous.

Oh, damn. I thought it was $85 for all four. I would have maybe laid down that, I am a Lord of th Deep after all. But I didnt know they were plastic...

They're not.
