3D Printing

November 03, 2017

What up?

How are things going?

I finally got the chance to eat a bacon cheeseburger from Five Guys.

It was GLORIOUS. 

When I got home, I Googled the history of Five Guys and accidentally found an excellent podcast series by NPR called How I built this -- it's basically a podcast that interviews incredibly successful entrepreneurs on how they built their business.

Anyway, I came across an episode with Jerry Murrell, the founder of Five Guys Burgers.

It's excellent. 

Anyway, that's what I am up to.

Enjoy today's digest and keep fast food to a minimum ;)

Until next time, my friend,
Dilanka

This is definitely interesting news.

I've covered Markforged many times. 

In fact, it's one of my favorite printers that I've never used. 

The thing prints in kevlar and carbon fiber -- and it appears that Porsche has bought a stake in the company.

Congrats!
