I like how clear, and easy it is to try it out. Big "DOODLE NOW" button right in the middle of the landing page. In two clicks I've already created a (tiny) dungeon.

I find that sometimes even when I'm familiar with a topic, it ends up being a bad reference. This is especially true when they start introducing variables and constants that haven't even been defined.

Even a lot of relatively cheap record players have adjutable tonearm weights. But it's not just the vertical needle force that wears out the records. The other issue is lack of adjustable (or any) anti-skate force. This keeps the ne

"But for every you, there's a me" Everyone agrees that there will be people who will want to work, and people who won't. The question is what is the ratio, and is it enough. No one can predict this with a high level of

I've heard that some banks will no longer take large amounts of change from people. I'm not sure if they got rid of the change counting machines, or just don't want to deal with it. This could have some effect on the amount

I don't understand the point of this comment. No one is saying that 3D printing will make forging obsolete. There's always a balance of trade offs. It's up to the designer/engineer to decide how something should be mad

For some types of 3d printing where the material is laid down in a bead, the path of the nozzle has an effect on the resulting part. So having a wide row of nozzles would give you less flexibility in the design. But this may have less of
