Now, Iโm not going to turn this into a printer review โ thatโs not really the point of this article. What I want to get across is that I decided to buy a solution rather than take on a new hobby. I got the Bambu up and running in about an hour and was cranking out prototype parts for my project later that afternoon. Yes, I might have had the same experience with a returned printer at about half the price of the Bambu, but I felt like the perceived value of a new printer was worth the premium price, at least in this case.

Eating dark chocolate could help to prevent aging according to a study by King's College in London. Examining a small number of Europeans it was found that those who shows less aging had higher levels of a chemical in their blood known as theobromine. this is a chemical that is derived from cocoa. Of course moderation must be taken as it contains sugar and milk fats and so further research is required to find an ideal amount. kcl.ac.uk/news/key-chemical-inโฆ
