Class up your joint with some 3-D printing
Finally, a practical use of a 3-D printer: Making your house a trove of ancient artifacts, just like a museum! Not actual ancient artifacts of course, but you know, close enough! Your uncultured lowbrow friends won’t know the difference, so let’s start impressing!
3-D printers are relatively new to the consumer space, the name most well-known in the field being MakerBot, however I have seem them on display in Best Buy and the Microsoft Store, running around $1300. The picture below is one I took of a 3-D printer at Best Buy in late November, but they are boxy looking things into which you feed a thread of plastic, then feed in a design, and it will ‘sculpt’ the design right in front of your eyes!
