3D Printer Wrap Up

 

3D objects requested by Dr. Clark’s physics classes: A turtle and Audi keychain.  

(And a first attempt at the Audi keychain!) 

  We Really Had Fun With the 3D Printer.

We appreciate the enthusiastic faculty and students who came in for the demos.

Some interesting websites we picked up along the way…

TinkerCad.Com – An online 3D design for 3D printing site
Thingiverse.Com – A 3D design community for sharing 3D models
Rio Professor Kevin Lyles Available in 3D from ShapeWays.Com

Thanks Everybody and Especially Our Good Friend Jay Burton at SERLS

Easter Smacks

  Czech Pomlázka (a special handmade whip)

The German Schmeckostern: the beatings given to each other on Easter Monday and Tuesday by men and women in parts of Germany and Slavic countries to bring them good luck, protect them from vermin, and keep them young and healthy and, “green."

The men beat the women on Easter Monday, the women beat the men on Easter Tuesday.

The beatings are commonly given with birch branches, especially branches just sprouted, or sometimes with cherry, or with a willow switch. The new young life inherent in the sprouting branch is thus bestowed upon the one beaten with it.

(All in great fun of course!)
