Neil Savage @neilsavage.bsky.social · 2mo agoLooking for cool uses of #3DPrinting in the #Laboratory, for a story in @nature.com. Any innovative widgets you've seen/made/used? We had a story like this in 2019, but we want to see what's new since then. Any suggestions are appreciated. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
