3D printing for tabletop gaming? - Episode 119


Listen Later

Jeff Naumann joins us as we talk about the possibilities of using 3D printers to create tabletop gaming miniatures.

We also discuss a story about using a printer with capacitive ink and using it to capture fingerprints to bypass fingerprint sensors, Google and their release of the Android N developer preview for specific Nexus devices along with their decision to open up Project Fi to everyone without needing an invite.

All this and more on Episode 119 of the Tech Informist!

 

 

Audio Issues

Have to apologize yet again as this episode sees those ridiculous audio pops throughout the majority of the episode. I think it I have it narrowed down to the outlets we have been plugged into recently. From here on, I will be using a surge protector to hopefully filter out the issue.

Just know that it bothers the hell out of me and I hate having to put our episodes like this as I have a fairly high standard for our releases.
