  1. most useful thing for physical prototyping by Mungkie · · Score: 5, Informative

    Some stuff called polymorph (a trade name I think?) it's a thermo plastic that becomes maleable in boiling water and sets tougher than most other plastics. Perfect for making parts for almost anything that is not heated above 50'C.

    Tools wise a dremmel type drill, lathe, set of files, hacksaw, and a screwdriver.
