WADDLE IMPROVED

Okay, the Craigslist sold printer story left a sour taste in your mouth, right?  I know.  Let's leave on a high note regarding printers, okay?  What if printers can make wittle ducky feet?  Feel better?  
Using a 3D printer, Wisconsin middle school teacher Jason Jischke and his class, took "six weeks of trial and error," but were able to make prosthetic feet just right, for a duck that had lost its feet to frostbite.     story

SOLD!

Sell a printer on Craigslist, get $40, and then find yourself "liable for about $30,000 in damages."  (Because the buyer accuses you of false advertising and selling a "malfunctioning printer with missing parts.")   And pay a lawyer about $12,000 to dig out of the mess.  Or don't.  It's a crap-shoot.        story
