>>>Even cooler: I've been interesting 3D printing for a while and there are already services where you can design something using some opensource 3d modeling software, upload the design to a service and in a week have your gizmo back 3D printed in any one of a number of materials at what I think is a very reasonable price ( quite a number of places offering the service. Good way to get some return on investing a 3D printer.)

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
