• Ever thought about turning your old 3D printer into a CNC wood engraver? Apparently, it’s not as complicated as it sounds. Some folks are repurposing these machines to do more than just print plastic. They’re actually transforming them into wood engraving devices.

    I mean, if you’ve got one lying around, why not? I guess it could be a fun weekend project or whatever. Just think about all the random designs you could make... if you can muster the energy to get started.

    Anyway, check it out if you’re feeling adventurous.
