The Most Underengineered Piece of Equipment in Your Golf Bag Just Got a Serious Upgrade

You've spent $600 on a driver engineered with aerospace-grade titanium and a face milled to within microns of its optimal flex pattern.

You've had your swing analyzed, your shaft flex fitted, your grip size measured.

You've obsessed over ball compression ratings, dimple patterns, and the exact swing weight that makes your irons feel like an extension of your hands.

And then you walk up to the first tee, reach into your bag, and pull out a piece of wood.

A piece of wood...

Water Washable Resin: The 3D Printing Revolution That Comes With a Hidden Cost

The pitch is irresistible.

No isopropyl alcohol. No dedicated wash station. No chemical smell drifting through the house while your print soaks in a Tupperware tub. Just print, rinse under the tap, cure, and you're done. Water washable resin promises to take the most annoying, most chemical-intensive part of resin 3D printing and replace it with something you do every time you wash the dishes.

For a technology that has long been gatekept by its workflow complexity — the gloves, the ventilation, the IPA, the...

Your Garden Called. It Wants a Printer.

There's a moment every plant parent knows.

You find the perfect plant. The exact right succulent, the monstera you've been hunting for months, the trailing pothos that will finally finish off that awkward corner shelf. You bring it home, you find the spot, you hold it up — and then you spend forty-five minutes in a garden centre aisle holding plastic pot after plastic pot, knowing none of them are quite right. The colour is off. The drainage hole is wrong. The shape doesn't fit the space. The size is close but...

The Resin 3D Printing Market Is Worth $19 Billion. The People Making Money Aren't Who You Think.

Picture the person you associate with resin 3D printing.

They're probably in a basement or garage. There's a Saturn or a Photon on the workbench, a bottle of IPA nearby, and a fresh set of nitrile gloves. They're printing miniatures, or jewelry prototypes, or intricate cosplay parts. They're part of a passionate, technically curious community that has exploded in visibility over the last five years.

Now forget that image. Because while it's accurate, it's also describing about five cents of a dollar.

Everyone Thinks FDM 3D Printing Is a Desktop Toy. The $15 Billion Market Disagrees.

Picture the person you associate with FDM 3D printing.

They're probably at a cluttered desk, a spool of PLA on a rack behind them, watching a Benchy print through the glass door of an Ender 3. They're calibrating first layers, arguing about bed adhesion in a Reddit thread, and producing increasingly impressive miniatures and cable clips and costume props. The community is enormous, vocal, deeply technical, and genuinely passionate.

Now zoom out.

Because that community — vibrant, creative, and growing as it is — represents...
