Facebook ad just now...
So, clearly a scam ad. Let's see...
- SLR is not a term that can refer to a lens, it's a technical term for a kind of camera physical design. A lens is never SLR or non-SLR. So whoever made this doesn't even know casual camera basics.
- An Ex Engineer. I assume they meant Ex-Engineer, not that he's an engineer for a company called Ex. So he developed this nonsensical product but isn't an engineer? I guess they are saying that this product is so bogus that they can't call him an engineer anymore for having "designed" it? He's fallen below the threshold of engineering and isn't "crapifying" now?
- This is just a lens on a smart phone. We've had these for a decade.

@scottalanmiller You know that uBlock Origin will block FB ads, right? No reason to see any of that garbage.... unless you just get off on posting the ads here for ridicule.

Testing a post.

@scottalanmiller A friend of mine last name was Hurt. His mom was a nurse. So she was Nurse Hurt.

Same, I want one, but immediately think, what the heck would I need this for?

We have a makers space here in town that has two higher end printers. Anyone can send prints to them, you basically pay for the plastic and a small additional fee.
Until you're going to be making a lot of things, it's probably not worth it with resources like that.

Also check local colleges / technical colleges. They may have them available. (I found out that we have one available here).

Do they allow anyone to use them? or do you have to be a student/facility?

AFAIK it's open to the public. Like @Dashrender , though there's a small fee & you pay for the mats.
