I’m impressed with the wide range of things Taalman prints at home. In addition to cool math stuff (more on that in a moment), she makes toys such as Daleks and polyhedral bears and useful household objects such as a coin-operated bottle opener, dietary restriction toothpicks, and a strainer funnel for hibiscus tea. She even 3D printed a grate to keep fingers safe from the 3D printer’s fan. (I like to think that if I had a 3D printer, my headboard would now be attached to my bed instead of propped against the wall because I don’t have the right sized bolts.)
