Tech tools: Cube 3D printer

3D printing is becoming mainstream, mainly due to the falling price of the printers.

These days, you can create everything from ornaments and keyrings to luggage tags and vases.

The Cube 3D printer aims to help you do that from the comfort of your own home. It’s reliable and easy to use – simply plug it in and you are ready to go.

There is software included so you can design what you want and then send it over to the printer to create it in 3D plastic – either ABS or PLA.

There are a few 3D files to get you started too.
