What's up?
A bit of downsizing going on my end. Our CEO is moving to Bali, so it'll just be me in San Diego.
I work out of a cool co-working space in Downtown and all I have (thankfully) is one desk, some books, a 3D Printer and a laptop (plus a lot of Sriracha sauce).
As you know, I am a documentary whore, so just in case you like documentaries, I want to recommend one of my absolute favorite(s).
It's called The Up Series -- It's a longitudinal study/documentary that keeps re-visiting the same group of people over and over again and comparing their current life with what they expected out of life when they were 7 years old. The first installment of the documentary was called 7 Up (because they were interviewed at 7 years old), and the last documentary was 56 Up (because they were interviewed at 56 years old).
It'll just go on till everyone dies. It's an incredibly fascinating documentary on the human condition, how difficult it is to change and how initial conditions (like socio-economic conditions) take you in a completely different trajectory.
Alright, alright... you say, "..What the hell does any of this have to do with 3D Printing?"
It doesn't.
So, let's get to it.
Today, we'll be covering:
1.) How to 3D Print a house in 24 hours for less than $10k
2.) A guy from Sydney trying to sell guns
3.) 3D Printing ponzi schemes on crowdfunding sites
4.) How 3D Printing was used in the oscars
5.) Building a business from 3D Printing pens
7.) A short history of 3D Printing
8.) Some crowdfunding campaigns
9.) A couple of companies getting some investments
10.) Experiments in full color 3D Printing
That's about it ;)
Until next time, my friend,
Dilanka

What I don't understand is why these folks won't take advantage of Buckminster Fuller's Geodesic domes as an initial structure for a house. As far as I know, it's one of the most effective/efficient and stable structures we know of. For example, check this video out. | | Tas Bindi - zdnet.com Just a few weeks ago I mentioned that we are only going to see more and more stories like this. Remember, never attempt to sell a 3D Printed gun on social media -- it's covered in chapter 1 on "How to be a Criminal 101." Strangely, a lot of these stories seems to be clustered in Australia. Not sure if this is because of the intensely strict gun control laws OR if the criminals are simply too stupid. | | 3DPrinting.com - 3dprinting.com Good read. | | Beau Jackson - 3dprintingindustry.com Interesting stuff -- Well, not as interesting as the Moonlight/La La Land screw up. | | Amy Feldman - forbes.com Interesting story. By the way, if you are too much of a rebel to turn off your AdBlocker for Forbes, here's a snapshot of the article: page 1, page 2. | | Capucine Lonjon - sculpteo.com A bit of history never hurts. | | indiegogo.com - Indiegogo Interesting project by a father who is making 3D Printed/hydraulic prosthetics for young amputees. If you are interested in this project, check it out. | | Lora Kolodny - techcrunch.com We've seen pancake printers and candy printers that were interesting but didn't even come close to raising $1M for their SEED round -- yet, here we have a (allegedly) PIZZA 3D Printer company (called BeeHex) that has raised a $1M. This better produce some damn good pizza with minimal human interaction. | | Sam Davies - tctmagazine.com FYI, Polymaker is a 3D Printing materials manufacturer and it appears that they've gotten ANOTHER (I believe the last cash infusion was $3M in 2015) cash injection. | | General Fabb - solidsmack.com Very interesting. | | | You are receiving this email because you believe that the best startup articles and videos are made by active members of the startup community.
