Geek Tool: Slashdot Video of Award Winning 3D Printer From CES
The Makerbot Replicator is a personal 3D printer, which can create three-dimensional objects through connecting and layering successive cross sections of material. The new version is bigger, better, and easier to set up than earlier MakerBots. In this video Tim made at CES, MakerBot CEO Bre Pettis shows us how wonderful a device it is, and tells us why every child (and most adults) should have a MakerBot.
I have enough trouble keeping track of the two-dimensional stuff I print. This is something best left cloud-based.
Gently reply
Managed to not tell me anything I'd like to know, availability, how big is it, how much does it cost, what materials and so on. Just hype.
This newly fangled Interweb thing has curious devices called 'links'. These are often represented by words distinctively coloured or otherwise marked. Your computational engine is most likely provided with a small carriage vulgarly known as a 'mouse'. If you trundle this carriage across the surface of your writing desk, a representation of a hand or arrow or similar pointing device is automatically and synchronously moved across your information display. If you manoeuvre your 'mouse' until this pointer appears to hover over the distinctively marked text, and then press down on the depressable are on the front left of the carriage until a light click is heard, a page of information will appear elucidating the point being made.
Just sayin'
I'm old enough to remember when discussions on Slashdot were well informed.
such as shoes, clothing
Seems like overkill for these when you can already create an infinite variety of shoes and clothing with nothing but a bunch of plastic garbage bags and a roll of duct tape.
I already *have* three-dimensional, biodegradeable genitalia,
