    As you might know, 3D printing has been around for a while. Here’s a little timeline. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) was developed by S. Scott Crump. This involves producing a model by extruding small beads of material which harden immediately to form layers. This method of 3D printing eventually took off with commercial and DIY enthusiasts.

One of my favorite things with this board is the SATA connector, as well as the included Bluetooth adapter. So far, all I’ve done is test a few image files (Linaro, and Android) but it’s been great.
