About

Welcome to my workshop, where wicked widgets, wild wearables, and wholesome wonder are wasted on weak witticisms and worthless wordplay. We once worked for whoever wanted wires to work, but the wacky world of wcontent has wiped our wherewithal. The thing on my face is a wearable computer I use as a teleprompter! Send gizmos, gadgets, and samples to the Voidstar Mailbag! Voidstar Lab c/o Zack Freedman 3051 W 105th Ave #350943 Westminster, CO 80031

PVC also releases elemental chlorine, but phosgene is the primary biohazard. This is a WEIRD EPISODE. Feel like a challenge? Here's five (or six (or seven))) of the trickiest, rarest, downright weirdest 3D-printing problems I've ever seen. They only happen in very specific situations, but sooner or later, they might just happen to YOU. How spooky!
