Abstract
Chapter 2 covered low-cost electronics that can sense the world around them and control objects that move. There is a second half to this makertech movement: the ability to create just about any physical shape that will fit on the build platform of a 3D printer. If you combine these two halves, you get the capabilities for robots, drones, wearable tech, and the very low-cost science fieldwork described in later chapters in this book.
