66 Times People Used a 3D Printer and Reached Absolute Peak Human Ingenuity
At some point in human history, if you needed something, you either bought it, made it by hand, or accepted that you simply could not have it. Then the 3D printer arrived and dismantled all three of those options. Now, if you need a specific bracket for a shelf that has not been manufactured since 2009, you simply make it at home, before lunch.
The 3D printing community has taken this freedom and run with it in every possible direction. Some of what they have produced is just plain brilliant, solving real problems with a little bit of lateral thinking. Some of it is completely unnecessary and deeply impressive for exactly that reason. All of it is proof that giving humans access to a machine that turns ideas into objects is one of the better decisions the technology industry has ever made.

My 13-Year-Old Son Built A Beehive For His Bedroom
I thought it was a crazy idea at first but am amazed how well it is working. He looked online and saw that hives were around $1,000 so he decided to design and build one from scratch designing it in cad software and printing parts using a PRUSIA 3d printer.

A Prosthetic Arm I Made For A Friend
Chilli 19 hours ago
This makes me so happy as someone missing an arm, coz prosthetic arms are quite a bit less available than prosthetic legs due to amputated legs being more common than amputated arms/hands (mainly due to people in places of war stepping on land mines). I'm so glad this person could get a prosthetic <333
