   my first thought upon setting eyes on the new injection molder at the makerspace was "heck yeah, nice!"

   my second thought was "we can totally build these ourselves."

   I have become a type of guy.

     @djsundog Learn enough about fabbing, and eventually everything you could buy becomes a question of whether or not the margin they're asking is worth the time it'd take you to just make it yourself.

     @djsundog Now I'm looking up DIY injection molding machines and discovering it's an entire thing and looking at all of my new workshop space with a speculative eye.

     @stibbons I'll make sure we injection mold a pull handle grip with this one for the first one we build so it will be at home in the room with the 3d printers printing 3d printer parts

     @djsundog You needed the first one so you could learn how to make more. This is a position I can get behind.
