Print a small cow and give it to a colleague as a present to leave on their desk.

Then every day print a very slightly smaller one and swap it without them knowing.

I always thought I would want a 3D printer, but didn't really know what I would do with it. I now [b]NEED[/b] a 3D printer 🙂

That 3D printed gun bloke has, apparently, given up and is now using CNC to make the lower receivers. Like any normal person would have done in the first place.

Can a 3D printer print complex mathmatical shapes? like a 3D mandelbrot or something?

having been involved in this type of work

the most powerful use of a 3d printer i have ever seen

it empowers doctors with very little to engineer a product to change someones life

and here's another
