Ohhhh! …. Ahhhh! … 3D Printers: A List

Did you just print out a picture? Are you feeling that two dimensional soul sucking bleakness? Yup. That’s what I call the 2D printer blues. A two dimensional image simply can’t capture your genius and inspired view of the world, can it? Well, no more! NOOO more, I say! Welcome to the world of 3D printing my friends. No money? No problem! In this article I’ll take you through the plethera of low cost 3D printing options available to you. Yes sir-eee-ooo! Yes I will. … Ummm … you may still need to beg for those few extra bits of change every now and then to afford it all. But, hey life’s hard, what can you do? – Don’t answer that – it’s a rhetorical question!

We’re Engineers DAMN IT!

A few years ago, when I was but a weee little lad, ready to face the world and enter the world of engineering, I got the rummy idea that university was the way to go. And so, full of optimism and passion, I popped in the application form, went through the ‘do you have the highest grade’ rat race, got out a substantial loan and made my way into the University (the University in question shall remain unnamed). I was excited! Thrilled! I was in the exciting and riveting field of the then massively popular and over inflated subject of … computer engineering … yes, you heard it right computer engineering … yes yes .. I know, you’re probably asking: “What were you THINKING?!” … hey, didn’t I mention that I was just a weee little lad? … me liked computer games.
