Do It Yourself 3 D Printers?

Just exactly what is 3 D printing? An earlier entry was made in this blog which demonstrated the 3 D Printing phenomena. There have been numerous design faires Worldwide attacking improvements in design to one day put one of these printers on everyone's desk next to their own computers using all open source. My own first exposure to building one's own originated with the Printrbot design where a fellow is attempting to raise capital through the "KickStarter" funding platform originated out of the USA. The design is very clean and truly inspiring! RepRap Wiki is a community approach where half the machine parts are built by the printer itself!! This certainly looks like a large step in the direction of ResourceFULLness So there's the RepRap Wiki community viewpoint originated out of Britain via RepRap Wiki.

"Marcel The Shell With Shoes On" Is A Sweet Animation

"Marcel The Shell With Shoes On" is the creation of Jenny Slate & Dean Fleischer-Camp.

Jenny and Dean were thinking about doing an animation and put it together themselves. The animation has become a YouTube sensation and has resulted in the release of a children's book called "Marcel the Shell With Shoes On: Things About Me". Thanks you, YouTube for giving us an audience to each other! The picture is from the BookExpo America at the 2011 Children's Books Show.

How plastic bottles can lighten up the darkness

Demi Boukas has come up with a win win solution to pay his electric bill.  He bought a solar light from a local guy in San Pedro, just south of Manila, Elok Vias.  Enthused by the new light, Demi decided to manufacture them himself and sell them for about a dollar apiece to improve the lives of those around him and keep his bills paid. See the video here.   The light consists of a plastic one liter bottle with some water and a touch of chlorine in it, capped and wedged into a hole in what is common in the area for roofs, corrugated metal.  A brilliant and simple solution to a problem largely overlooked.  We would like to congratulate him on his resourcefullness.  Demi is certainly one whose glass is half full rather than half empty!

Plastic bottles are taken for granted and regularly recycled, but rarely is the brilliance of their fossil fuel origins acknowledged.  The fuel savings of such a lightweight solution to glass bottles had immense repercussions worldwide when originally put into use.  Those who wish to eradicate fossil products from modern life would do well to "think it through" on their own before acting in harmony with a chorus of nay sayers.  We're especially impressed with this "Lighten up" video.
