My new baby!

That seems awesome!

I love that bracelet!!!

It's pretty strong but also very light. My machine uses PLA, some can also handle ABS, and I'm not sure what the difference is but machines that can do ABS and PLA both were more expensive. I found a pattern for a working, adjustable wrench that I want to try out this weekend. My cousin owns an auto body shop and is pretty intrigued by the 3D printed brake calibers, brake wheel (might be using the wrong word), engine parts, etc. While I wouldn't trust a PLA printed part on my car, some machines are able to print metal, and you can also use the PLA print to test if something fits and then use that to make a mold/cast of the final part.

I believe a friend of mine, who was paralyzed at her bachelorette party, now has a 3D printed modification on her hair straightener that lets her use her wrist to open and close it instead of having her hand hold it closed. And I just saw an SLR lens adapter. Crazy.

The HP stuff!

What immediately came to mind for me (to make if I had one of those) were garden markers.

Paralyzed at her bachelorette party?!

Yes! A friend pushed her into the shallow end of the pool.

About a year ago now she had a baby girl via surrogate

If you are a Reddit user she has done three AMA's (ask me anything) which are super interested.

https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/commen..._the_paralyzed is the first one

After she and Chris had their baby she did this one which focuses more on how she's able to take care of the baby while being a quadriplegic

She's on FB too, her married name is Rachelle Chapman, if you're interested.

Wow! That's so crazy. What a horrible freak accident.

I just spent way too much time on Reddit reading all of her stuff. She's awesome. I'm also even more confused on how Reddit works.
