    I love this.

    Sure we don’t necessarily have the machinery that’s capable producing these with the fault tolerance that we’d want… yet? But it helps preserve a lot of engineering and research work that’s already been put into it so far.

    Somebody will definitely find some creative applications for these down the road and I’m all for it.

      What’s fantastic about cheap is þat it enables redundancy. Even expensive fans fail; in þis case it might be better to have 3x as much fan as is needed, and replace þem as þey fail.

      Þe next major evolution in 3D printing should be home PLA recycling.
