Commented on Things I would make if I had a 3D printer ...
o yea, and if you don't want to print in metal or do lost wax (loads of work), you just print in ABS, paint some graphite powder on with acetone and then electroplate the whole thing in Cu, Ag or...

Piling in way late here, but... - filament is not GBP100/kg; think more like USD20-30/kg for ABS and PLA when bought on Teh Internets - look at "Ninjaflex" filament, it prints out as a soft rubbery kind of thing with...
Commented on The Curse of Laundry

Never mind a 3D fab, I would love someone with some serious money to build a real updated Schienenzeppelin, using state-of-the-art aircraft engineering, a nice Pratt & Whitney PW100, or similar, proper variable geometry propeller, etc. Not because it's a practical mode of transport, just because it would be so damn COOL! I also like your idea for a Newton shaped iPhone 6+ case. Once in a while I fondly get my Newton messagepad out of the drawer, stick a set of fresh batteries in it and try for an hour to unsuccessfully remember the PIN. One day I hope...
