3D Printing Went From Hype To Practical

Buy A 3D Printer For Prototyping Or Learning
- Buy a 3D printer if you have kids into engineering or if you prototype products; decent models start around €500-€600.
- Use open-source libraries for prints and replace small household parts like fittings to save money and learn prototyping.
Pick Pictionary Air For Cheap Party Fun
- Try Pictionary Air as a cheap, modern parlor game that links a glowing pen to an app and mirrors to the TV.
- It costs about €20 and provides lively group fun where the drawer can't see their own sketch until revealed.
