3D printed wood backhoe

I'm wrapping up a huge project that's kinda eating up all my spare cycles at the moment and that I hope to do a big reveal for. That's why my posts lately have been more commentary. But while I'm pointing you to other cool places on the web here's something awesome.

And there are so many angles I could take on commenting on this one. It's a wood toy made of plastic. That's cool. Look, they let the files be released for their paid plans because they don't see 3D printing as a threat. Bwahahaha. "It’s not the beautiful wooden family heirloom it could have been...." Just because it's not wood doesn't mean it's not our kid's childhood. Next step is to make one that doesn't need the metal screws.

So awesome.
