LEGO? yawn.

A functional lower receiver made from 3-D printed LEGO? Colour me interested.

ASIDE: My serious current fantasy involves getting a functional basement shop where I can 3-d print replacement parts for whatever plastic bit of first entropy planned obsolescence hits my consumer goods. Need non-flooding basement first...

A sump pump was my project last spring. While I had fun using the jackhammer, holding a 2" concrete boring drill above my head for 20 minutes wasn't. Especially after hitting rebar, twice.

think of the possibilities though , you could build that optional second model at the back of the manual without having to disassemble the first!

After energy/materials/time/wear&tear would it still be cheaper than normal or third party legos? I really have no idea what your operating costs are.

Make LPs out of MP3s. The tech is pretty fuzzy at this point, but the future is near

I thought the main point of having records was to have that collector's value.

So I have converted mostly from plastic bushings to linear bearings.... with increased backlash. Damn lack of available 8mm guide rod.

In other news, a web-based reprap print server has been released, designed mainly for use on a Raspberry Pi.

It works mostly well.

*Note 1: I cannot legally buy ammunition as my FAC license has expired and I have not bothered to renew
*Note 2: I cannot legally fire it
*Note 3: Because of the above and the general lack of documentation or even scale from Defcad, I printed this at am arbitrary scale. Unless you can find 7.4mm ammo, it's not doing much.
