Introduction
Hello! My name is Austin Tokarz and I am a senior undergrad student at The Pennsylvania State University. I am majoring in Mechanical engineering. I am also in the Navy ROTC program at Penn State and will commission as an Officer when I graduate in May of 2014.

Various Printable Objects
Something that is amazing/beautiful
I am very interested in the aerospace community, so this model caught my eye. It is a model of a F/A 18, but more than that, to me it shows that aerospace companies could easily print out scale models, such as this, to test in their wind tunnels, etc. So, that is amazing to me.

Something that is funny/strange
Something that is Useless
An item that is funny/weird
The "shark with a fricken laser" is from the Austin Powers movies. As a kid, and even still today I watch those movies and laugh. The scenes with Dr. Evil talking about sharks with lasers is always a classic and makes me laugh every time. It is funny to see that somebody took the time to draw one that can be rapid prototyped.

An item that is scary/strange
Although I can see some purpose for printing such an object, I feel that a lower jaw bone is a rather strange object to print. Typically if it were being used for medical purposes it would either be molded or an actual bone would be used, but to print one using a 3D printer for "personal use" just seems strange to me.
