You got a brand-new, fully-functional replicator with a built-in fusion generator, outfitted with a library of everyday items and a modelling system to let you make your own stuff. What do you make first?

It cannot produce anything with dimensions exceeding 5’x5’x’5’.
“Everyday items” means just that – things that you might see on an average day. And if you can design something that’s not so commonplace, you can count that, too.

TPS reports. If I make enough in advance, then I can have all of my Fridays off.
A 4’X4’X4’ replicator. Or food.
@CWOTUS has already won this thread. I don’t know if anyone can beat him
Parts for a hovercar. If it can produce anything, it could easily make titanium blades that fit together perfectly, and parts for a robotic welder to put it together, actually, thinking about it, a hoverbike XD
@XOIIO Anything that you might encounter out in the world, or that you could design yourself.
Parts for a backup Replicator (I hereby declare the replicator a common place item), followed by a fleshlight.
I’d make a smaller 5’ version of myself. Knowing me, I’d kill my creator, then make a massive army of myself, and then finally make a single zombie. Infection will be spread by myself.
Enjoy the apocalypse.
@ragingloli It would only be natural for the replicator to have designs for itself. Besides, if you had one, so would everybody else lucky enough to have the money or the skill to steal/build their own.
“Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.”—to quote a famous captain.
I would replicate a smaller version of myself *I always wanted to be short anyway, and do experiments make me evil and void of any kind of heart or conscience and send the evil me out into the world so I could stay here safe and comfy by myself and fluther as the nice me with you guys.
A Nikon DSLR 5100 so I can get my son off my back. He’s been begging for one for months.
I might use my free Fridays to replicate more lurve.
I think I would also replicate a generator and some diesel fuel. Fusion generators not being what they will be someday, and all that. Not to mention that I can sell the diesel for cash, which I can’t replicate legally.
@CWOTUS
Why not replicate gold then? Or Platinum? More worth than diesel, same energy requirements for the Replicator.
@ragingloli
Gold and replicators are going to be essentially worthless in time. Fuel probably won’t be. Cash may have some marginal utility for a short while. Those fleshlights may be pretty valuable in time. And lubricant, of course.
@CWOTUS
Fossil fuel will be worthless, if you have fusion reactors small and safe enough to put into household replicators.
Three pairs of denim cargo pants, since I can’t seem to find any around here to buy. Otherwise, I don’t really need much. I’d also start working on designs for my martial arts equipment so that I don’t have to worry about it tearing/bending/breaking.
I think it’ll be a long, long time before liquid fuels are rendered “worthless”. Show me the fusion generator first. I’d still like to have the backup, and a diesel mechanic would be handy to have around even without a diesel engine.
I actually already have more crap than any reasonable person really should have and I don’t need more. I would use the replicator to make food. I could have just about anything I wanted, anytime I wanted it without much fuss at all. It would like that. I would also use it to make toilet paper. I always seem to be running out.
Two girls at the same time.
@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Not really tiny exactly; I’m only 5’4”, you could make two 5’ girls, or women, as I prefer to call them. That’s actually life sized, you know. Not everyone is tall. I have a feeling that @Nullo may not entirely like where this one is going. :-)
@lillycoyote you’re right. I dated a 5 foot even girl for three years and she’s one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen. I like petite girls anyway, so it’s all good in the hood.
@lillycoyote Version 2.0 would likely have an option to fusion-burn all of your old crap.
@Nullo Really? I would love that! I wouldn’t have all that crap if I didn’t have such a hard time getting rid of it. Can I replicate a certified professional organizer who specializes in OCD and hoarding that will help me sort through it all and then fusion-burn it?
@lillycoyote absolutely. I’m more about the booty than the legs anyway. And I’m short too, so yay :D
Bacon Sandwich and A Tea, Milk and two sugars. Then I get on my thinking cap about what really cool things I can make!
@Nullo You’re right! If forgot the parameters of the question! If I want to replicate “a certified professional organizer who specializes in OCD and hoarding” then I will have to design one for myself. I will take on the challenge as soon as my “fully-functional replicator with a built-in fusion generator” is delivered. I believe that I’m still within the limits of my 30 day trial membership with Amazon Prime. Is this item available through Amazon and can I get discounted, expedited shipping?
I would make organs for transplanting in sick people. There is already research into this technology. This is a TED Talk on printing a human kidney. One could certainly make the world a better place with a device like that.
I would make vats of platinum 5–7 caret diamond rings in lots of 1,300, I think they will fit into a vat 5’x5’x5’, and have a near fire sell of the rings.
A “Hollywood magazine”. Replicates new bullets as the guns fired.
