  1. Re:most of the junk i buy is not durable either on How Open Source Hardware Is Driving the 3D-Printing Industry · · Score: 1

    The bad news is, you are right. The good news is, you're not crazy!

    The Light Bulb Conspiracy.

  2. Not just 3D-printing on How Open Source Hardware Is Driving the 3D-Printing Industry · · Score: 2

    There's a lot of other machines out there. On the CNC side there's the Mantis, a small desktop-sized milling machine for making circuit boards but it can also cut foam, wax, chocolate, etc. Most people seem to drive their Mantis with motors and electronics made for RepRap printers.

    There's even a milling machine made out of standard LEGO parts (aside from the milling bit). It can mill 3D shapes into floral foam.

    Need a stronger, faster mill? Build Your Own CNC Router has a lot of information, so does CNCzone.com.

    Was all the manufacturing located in, say, California? Or was it spread all around the USA?

  10. Tool for webmasters? on Google Detects 9500 Malicious Sites Per Day · · Score: 1

    Is there a place where we can put our domain names and our emails, so that Google can contact us when they detect something on our websites?
