Introduction

Hello! My name is Austin Tokarz and I am a senior undergrad student at The Pennsylvania State University. I am majoring in Mechanical engineering. I am also in the Navy ROTC program at Penn State and will commission as an Officer when I graduate in May of 2014.

Useful: F/A 18 Model with Stand

Various Printable Objects

Something that is amazing/beautiful

I am very interested in the aerospace community, so this model caught my eye. It is a model of a F/A 18, but more than that, to me it shows that aerospace companies could easily print out scale models, such as this, to test in their wind tunnels, etc. So, that is amazing to me. The item can be downloaded here.

Beautiful: Statue of Liberty

Something that is funny/strange

This gem caught my eye as something strange for a few reasons. First, it's pretty much useless, but the fact that someone spent the time to print it is pretty awesome. Second, I think it's strange that I think it's really cool and want it so bad. The item can be downloaded here.

Bow ties for your shoes

Something that is Useless

Bow ties for your shoe laces. Need I say more? The item can be downloaded here.

Funny: Shark With A Fricken Laser

An item that is funny/weird

The "shark with a fricken laser" is from the Austin Powers movies. As a kid, and even still today I watch those movies and laugh. The scenes with Dr. Evil talking about sharks with lasers is always a classic and makes me laugh every time. It is funny to see that somebody took the time to draw one that can be rapid prototyped. The STL file can be downloaded here.

Strange: Lower Jaw Bone

An item that is scary/strange

Although I can see some purpose for printing such an object, I feel that a lower jaw bone is a rather strange object to print. Typically if it were being used for medical purposes it would either be molded or an actual bone would be used, but to print one using a 3D printer for "personal use" just seems strange to me.
