What up gangster?
Yes, it is Friday.
I don't know if you've ever used any bookmarking services, but increasingly, they are getting more and more useful for organizing links and resources (at least for me).
I used to use Delicious, but have switched to a service called Pinboard. It's run by a lone developer and it's (arguably) the best bookmarking service I have used thus far.
Hmm. What else?
I am in the middle of a (very fascinating) book called Philosophers Explore The Matrix.
It revolves around one of my favorite movies (The Matrix) -- and it has given me A LOT more insight into the philosophical aspects of the film. I'll be watching it again after I am done reading.
Anyway, as far as 3D Printing, today, we'll be covering:
1.) A Japanese artist getting arrested for distributing 3D Printable vaginas
2.) A design for an unbreakable key
3.) Chinese parlors using 3D Printing with the dead
4.) Fidget Spinners (Model of the week)
5.) 3D Printing with extraterrestrial materials
6.) Snapmaker's successful Kickstarter
7.) 3D Printing with sugar
8.) Some useful resources & interviews
TONS of interviews with industry folks...
That's all for this week.
Until next time, my friend.

"..When you get the sh*t kicked outta you long enough, and long enough, and long enough, you'll have a tendency to say what you really mean. in other words, you'll have all the pretense beat out of you.." -- Charles Bukowski, Born Into This (33:47) | Extended!

| | Shusuke Murai - japantimes.co.jp No, that title is not click bait. Also, this story is not new, but it is new to me so I am including it. It involves a Japanese artist who was arrested in 2014 for an art project involving 3D Printable designs of her vagina.
| | The Economist - economist.com This is interesting. Essentially, it's a titanium key with the teeth on the inside of the key to prevent it from being 3D Scanned.
Just in case you aren't in the loop, about 2 years ago, the Transportation & Security Administration's (TSA) keys leaked onto the Internet. This means that anyone can download the keys and 3D Print them and they'll have access to 300 Million TSA Locks in circulations.
If you are interested in reading a good overview of what happened with the TSA keys, check out Bruce Schneier's commentary.
| | Mary-Ann Russon - ibtimes.co.uk Just when you thought you couldn't apply 3D Printing to anything interesting. | | 2RobotGuy - thingiverse.com You may have heard of these fun toys -- but just in case you haven't heard of them, here's a 3D Printable model of it. It is especially handy/useful if you have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. | | Lidija Grozdanic - inhabitat.com I don't think the *entire* house is 3D Printed, but it's still an interesting case study. | | Adam Jackus - nature.com A bit of a technical paper, but the gist is: Engineers are developing 3D inks to increase the variety of 3D Printable materials. This also includes processing MARTIAN and LUNAR soil. Yup. | | Snapmaker - kickstarter.com This Kickstarter has been kicking ass. | | General Fabb - fabbaloo.com Interesting -- from an experimental and an obesity stand point. | | Aniwaa - aniwaa.com I don't think I've mentioned this resource before. It's a solid place for comparison shopping 3D Printers. I remember when these guys got started a while back and their site has tremendously improved over time. | | 3DPI - 3dprintingindustry.com Solid interview. | | 3DPI - 3dprintingindustry.com Another interview from the same series. Not bad. | | 3DPI - 3dprintingindustry.com Another worthy interview from the same series. | | 3DPI - 3dprintingindustry.com Another good interview. | Join the Techstars Team Today! Current opening for a Managing Director in the Philadelphia area  Techstars is excited to announce Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs Accelerator, powered by Techstars. The accelerator is an essential cornerstone of Comcast NBCUniversal’s LIFT Labs for Entrepreneurs program and will be based out of LIFT Labs PHL, located in the new Comcast Technology Center in Philadelphia when it opens in early 2018.
We are looking for a Managing Director to lead this program. You’ll be responsible for setting the strategic direction of the program and execute against it, and will be involved in every aspect of what makes Techstars great. MDs have the support coming from all functions of the organization, but without their leadership, the program cannot make good companies into great ones.
