73 Centrifuges require some care in order to be used safely, and a printed centrifuge in particular will have hazards
that you should be ready for if you try to use it. Consult your laboratory's safety officer before using this device and
always wear your safety glasses.

90 I t should be noted that the RepRap community is also pushing the resolution of low-cost 3-D printers down, as well
as diversifying the printable feedstock to all of the material families (e.g. ceramics and metals).

93 T 93These water-dwelling 1-mm-long eight-legged creatures sometimes called water bears are one of the most complex
of all known polyextremophiles that can survive in horrendous conditions. For example, tardigrades can withstand
temperatures from just above absolute zero to well above the boiling point of water, as well as extreme pressures,
solar radiation, gamma radiation, ionic radiation and have even lived through the vacuum of space. A lot of people
would consider this prety cool. May be you do not. That is ok because you now have the ability to turn all your sci-
entific equipment into works of art with your own favorite creatures.

analysis, and recording data. There are all different flavors of tricorders—such as those for engineering, planet explor-
ation, and medical diagnosis.
