(A) Something amazing/beautiful:

[1]

This is a boeing F-18. I think this is amazing because it is one of the aircraft I could be (I kind of want to) flying in the Navy. It is a world renown platform that is the Navy's current fighter aircraft. It is amazing that someone has come up with this design that is very well done. I am hoping that the tools in this class will help me one day build this model. There is nothing like seeing one of these planes fly right in front of you.

(B) Something funny or strange

This duck is downright creepy. personaly I don't think of ducks as being fighters, and maybe that is because I have been spoiled with the PSU docile ones, but it is a bit strange to have one structured like this. I hope it scares someone because I'd hate for it to go to waste. Its on par with the University of Delaware's Fighting Blue Hens...Makes me shiver at the thought....

(C) Something useless

Unless you are creating robots to fight a horde of ants, I think these toy figurines have no purpose and are very useless. It would be cool if you would be able to move them but unless one can print out giant robots like these, I find them to be non-essential.

(D) Something useful

I think everyone has heard the popular phrase, "When life gives you lemons, squeeze the heck out of them to make lemonade." Well this is all you need. I think this is very useful and will most likely print one out myself. Hopefully it is dishwasher safe!

(E) Something which surprised you

The surprising thing about this model is how intricate it is. After browsing this site, it is apparent that many things, no matter how intricate can be reproduced using 3D printing. I never knew so many things could be made like this. It also surprises me how no one in any of my classes talk about this technology when it could very readily change the way we do business!
