I liked the 3D printing article. For some reason the first link did not open, It was giving a error.
Thanks for sharing , I went through some older FTOTW as well.

Thanks Veena. That first link seems to be a bug. Will check. Next time that happens, click on rsukumar at the front of the link, that will take you to the original tweet I posted and that will also have the unmodified link. I tried it for the first one and it worked.
Thanks for checking out and more importantly thank you for commenting.
If you like 3D printing you should checkout this open source wonder:
