I know this is a long shot but did anyone (Aussies/UK) catch the 5th day of the cricket test match between NZ and England? I think my nerves today were more wrecked than the suspense I felt during the Ashes series of 10/11 and NZs win in Hobart in 2011 combined.

Nothing like 5 days of cricket coming down to the last ball with the series on the line.

Just got me thinking, while some parts can be made out of plastic, others cannot. It isn't as simple, but metal parts could me made by printing them using wax and then using the "lost wax casting" process.

I spend a majority of time problem solving ideas I will never be involved with.
