I like this timeline of the year in DIY 3D printing put together by Miles Lightwood. Scroll through to see what exciting things have been going on in 3D printing, and click on the thumbnails for more info. It’s user editable, so anyone can add milestones that may have been missed. UPDATE: Miles gave credit […]
