The weird underground world of 3D printing miniature humans

[max-reducer]

Have you been following what's happening in the world of 3D prining lately?
If not, let me tell you a crazy story. But first I need to get you up to speed. It might be a long intro, but I promise it gets interesting!
You've probably heard about 3D printing, or additive manufacturing - more technical name for it. At first you could buy a home device that would print out some plastic parts or toys. Then there were industrial printers that could print a rocket engine out of metal. Then medical printers that could print a human liver. And then just a few years after that they've printed a full living mouse out of stem cells. A few more years and there were affordable (not cheap though) devices that could do this in the comfort and privacy of your home. Without the need for actual stem cells, just some materials that could be mixed into any biological matter.
These devices could print almost any materials with nanometer precision.
If you had a scan of something, you could print it. If it fits in about 10 inch tall box, of course. Larger printers cost exponentially more. Like tens of millions of dollars. But the smaller ones you could get for about fifteen grand plus a few more for a bag of raw printing materials.
And the scans are the whole other story. You need a tomographic scan of the subject made with the state of the art scanner. There's only few of such tomographs in the world. Yeah, the famous mouse scan was open sourced to public but nothing more interesting was.
Except this one time. You will be surprised with where this is going.
There was this private medical company that bought such a tomograph. With a promise to allow for very personalized treatment plans for its richest customers. And it made sense - you don't have to do any tests, give any samples, go through any procedures. They would just scan you and then they could zoom into any cell in your body, study it to oblivion, discover any disease in it's very earliest stage and tell you how to course correct it without even taking medications. And it was working. A steady stream of the worlds richest people flowed to this little private medical startup.
Until the day they were hacked and their full library of human scans was leaked online.
Now I know what youre thinking - you can't print yourself a Taylor Swift with your tiny 10-inch printer.
And this held true for about a week until some clever people have written a convertor that could rearrange a full-size scan to match the size of your printer, sacrificing some negligible non-essential bialogical data.
And now the floodgates were open. Everyone who had a modern 3D printer could print themselves a tiny rich person. And yes, this was and still is illegal, because it falls under human cloning prohibition. But did anyone care? Even after companies patched up their printers' firmware to forbid printing human tissue, no more than two days it took for the first jailbreak to appear online.
Now the internet was full of "compressed" human scans. You could download and print all the richest people of the world. Now you could have your own tiny Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, Kim Kardashian or Kylie Jenner, Christiano Ronaldo or Serena Williams. And not only the richest people themselves. Their trophy wives, their sugar babes, their rich friends and family. The databse had thousands of them from all around the world. You could print full harems of a few Arab sheikhs. You could print two soccer teams. You could print full set of Donald Trump's kids. And no one could do anything about it (if you were careful).
Some people were put in jail over this. Their tiny people confiscated. At this time no one knows what happens to the printed tiny people that get confiscated. The law is still lagging behind on this. They're not really considered people. Some argue that they are but they don't have documents or money, they have someone else's stolen identity, they were created artificially... You get it, it's a very gray zone.
The system tried to crack down on human printing not out of morality but because there was one thing they were really afraid of. Tiny people could be tortured into revealing some of their secrets. Like a password to a bank account or something they can be blackmailed with. And who knows, maybe behind the scenes this IS happening, but there was no big story about it yet.
But there were many other uses for tiny printed people that were publicaly known.
For instance, multiple web sites popped up that copied OnlyFans' financial model, but with tiny celebrities. With the difference that the money you pay are going to the owner of this tiny person. Mostly in India, China and Russia. You could watch world's top celebrities dance in cages in some sweathops, being abused and screamed at, handled by giant hands of someone who doesn't even speak their language. Some celebrities were more popular than other. There were so many channels with a tiny clone of Emma Watson at one point that she oversaturated that market and everyone got bored of her.
There was a series of videos on the dark web that I have to mention here but don't want to dwell on. It was called "Eat the Rich" and it imitated a cooking show where the richest of this world started being alive and ended as fancy dishes to "match their personality". And then eaten. I would not describe it in more detail.
That was the most famous "art" project involving printed rich people, but there were many others. There were music videos and short films - imagine getting a celebrity of that caliber to act for you for that cheap. There were "cameos" where you could pay for Scarlett Johansson to say happy birthday to your grandpa for a few dollars.
And there was porn. Every imaginable kind of porn. I will not describe anything because at this point everyone on the planet has seen some of that.
In some countries tiny printed rich people are beinng sold around in batches on the black markets. They're too pricey for a regular person unless you're in the market for a used one. A thousand bucks will get you a Billie Eilish with a broken arm and one good eye.
Another fenomenon that emerged just lately is mods. There's a community of modders who learned to edit the scans and now you can print a Megan Fox with oversized breasts or Miley Cyrus with a mermaid tail, Ryan Raynolds with impossibly large penis or Leonardo Dicaprio with no penis whatsoever. And that's the very tamest examples. There are mythical creatures, conjoined twins and things beyond your imagination that hount my nightmares.
And here we end up at the current day. At this moment it's estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of tiny printed people around the world. The law enforcements are catching some of their owners every now and again but most are still out there. And the printing technology and software is only getting better by the day. So who knows what we can expect tomorrow.

Wow! I think that little piece qualifies as being highly imaginative and inventive (well to me at least, who doesn't read a lot of stuff on here).

The only thing I'd advise is to take more time in putting things together before you post, like paragraph spacing, and spelling especially. Because what you write is certainly worth it.

But considering English isn't your first language, you're doing pretty good!

Thanks a lot! Being called imaginative and inventive means a lot to me.

I'm sorry about any typos, misspellings and especially grammatical errors. I'm a bit time contricted on these so I just try to get my ideas out quickly and edit them later when and if I have some more time. But I know that it might affect a first impression so you're right, I'll have to try better.

This is a great idea

What would you do in that world?

This is a great idea

What would you do in that world?

It would definitely have to do with the body mods!
Serena Williams with double the body weight
A 25 year old version of nicki manaj
Emma Robert's with a fat thick body and ass with massive tits
Daryl Hannah ripped right out of the 90s remake of attack of the 50 foot woman
Jessica Alba with her mouth and vagina switching places. I'd name her pussyface.
The possibilities are endless
