This really got to me to see little kids doing what we took/take for granted:

Amazing how quickly this technology has developed. It began with clever but very fragile models that were no stronger than paper-maché.  Now the products appear to be as strong as plastic.
Excellent life changers for people.  There's another Youtube clip there about a guy with a hideously disfigured face benefiting from the technology.

A fellow work mate built his own 3D printer with help from the internet
At the moment he is only making a few small thing for himself that you cant buy anymore

I have a 3D printer that I built myself. It is marvelous technology. Almost limitless.

It would be great for making custom mounts for those farkles that dont have parts you need.

If only I could use CAD progs
