content: The 'Maker Movement' is 3D printers and Arduino. Engineering and manufacturing are a distant goal of the average 'Maker'.I have designed and engineered countless commercial machines that I personally manufactured from a wide variety of materials using a wide variety of manufacturing techniques. No one has ever called me a maker because I don't use 3D printers or make LED's blink with Arduinos. Hilarious.

content: Quote from: rx8pilot on January 02, 2016, 03:36:11 amI think it is good; far better than the mindless use of appliances many were engaged in in the past. One thing I found that is cool is the community of old school machinists who who do things without the benefit of CNC. They do make use of modern CAD software but still it is nice to see a man or woman who knows what direction to place the tool post on their second hand lathe.The Maker Movement is just a jumping off place for bigger and better things.
