This is really cool. The Swiss railway (SBB) has automated luggage lockers. This one has a 3d printed housing for the receipt scanner.
It's the perfect application. There are probably not that many of these out there, so injection molding this part is expensive. Printing them also means you can repair any that encounter meanies.

This is probably a little too local for a lot of you, but: the #ontario provincial government is going to remove a bunch of cycling infrastructure in #toronto because our Premier lost an election to be mayor of the city and wants a do-over…
Doing a little processing today, went to bed living on the shores of Lake Ontario, woke up next to "Lake America."
Just randomly thinking of the time my dad took me to work for a day and it was all very beige (it was a 90s industrial PC terminal manufacturer) and boring.
And then, we walked by some guy's cube, and 10 minutes later I had a floppy disk f…
Doing a little shop maintenance, looking at order data. Had a good chuckle remembering the time a script kiddie tried to make a thirteen BILLION dollar order for mouse parts.

Dammit, I wrote this code *last week*. How is it that I've lost all understanding of what this stuff does so quickly!?

Like, I don't want to, but in light of everyone saying how expensive this stuff is to run, I'm honestly curious to know what kind of kit …

So here's to y…

While I'm on the topic of Switzerland, I love how fearlessly things are made here. Manufacturing of all scales is everywhere, literally passing by anytime you look out a train window. Hell, the train itself may well have been made here.
