So today, as this is a POTM week, I thought I'd touch on something pretty cool that happened at work last week. In 2017 I managed to convince my office that we should get hold of a 3D printer to be able to produced physical models of the digital models we already had for projects.  I settled on the Prusa MK2 as at the time it was the best quality for money FDM printer on the market. I had done some bits and pieces at work, including printing a pretty cool bridge model for a site team that wanted to present it to a client at the end of the project, I even presented it on a nice stained wood base. The other month I was given another interesting set of models to print. I was provided with an ex...
