    Today I had a new bike light delivered in the post, and found out that it doesn't include the right kind of mount to fit on my bike. The manufacturer makes a mount for the light, but it's shit, so some entrepreneurial sod in the UK designed and started 3d printing light mounts of his own and selling them on ebay... a tiny piece of plastic for $45 a pop.

    I'm now currently outraged at the state of affairs, and am investigating the costs involved in purchasing a 3d printer and the requisite thermal filament to produce them myself. If anyone has experience in 3d printing and can point me to resources to start my 3d-printing journey, I would appreciate it.
