One of the lads recently bought a 3 D printer.
Number 2 son mastered how to work it and he's always printing things made of resin for us.
He noticed me the other day trying to tie up my tomato plants in the polytunnel.
About an hour later he came back with the clips above.
Here's one I used yesterday.
3D printers are being used in so many parts of our lives. I was reading on the internet the other day that they are being used to print out concrete cavity council houses in Dublin. The builders say no blocks are used and they can be built in half the time of a conventionally built house.
Even I am using them around the smallholding and in the polytunnel.
Do you use 3 D printers?
Could the son who bought the 3D printer print me off a life-size Kylie Minogue in latex rubber? Failing that I'll have a couple of Taylor Swifts.
ReplyDeleteI have ordered a Britney Spears, Kate Bush and Xena Warrior Princess wearing her house coat YP. We have the technology.😃
ReplyDeleteOooo! Nylon housecoats are so sexy! I bet JayCee wears one around the house when she's doing her chores.
ReplyDeleteProbably. Norah Batty would be another good fictional character to print out. Oh those wrinkly tights.
ReplyDeleteYour son is very inventive...and very thoughtful to create those for you Dave. I must look into 3D printing. Perhaps I can print out a new kitchen cabinet?
ReplyDeleteMy housework outfit does not consist of a nylon housecoat. In fact I don't bother with housework as I so enjoy looking at the sun shining on the dust patterns on the furniture.
You can do anything with a 3 D printer JayCee. I'm definitely into carboot collecting dust collecting stuff. Dust patterns give a different perspective on our domestic settings.
ReplyDeleteWow! No, I've never used one, or even seen a 3D printer.
ReplyDeleteThey are amazing Jules. A design can be printed out and made of resin or even concrete houses.
ReplyDeleteAdobe houses are being made with 3D printers... Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI just Googled them GZ. They are made with organic materials like mud. Brilliant!
DeleteI'm a Luddite - I have no idea how they work. ... my school won a 3D printer some years ago for being the first in the country to attain the gold standard in Enviro stuff ... and the school got Solar Panels through the same 'competition'. Now if you want instruction in how to use a dip pen, just ask!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Virginia. We don't need to know how they work. But we can admire the genius behind them.
ReplyDeleteI do not, but your son sounds like a handy fellow.
ReplyDeleteThey are a generation born into technology Debby. We lived in a different world.
