You can get Programming with OpenSCAD, and other coding books, at a discount in a current Humble Bundle.

The how-to book was written by Justin Gohde and Marius Kintel, OpenSCAD's primary author and maintainer, and can be had for $18 in the No Starch Press "Coding for the Curious" Bundle.

That's $6 off its regular ebook price, and comes with 10 other programming books from the publisher that can help you learn C++, Ruby, CSS3, and more. Even more if you opt for the 18-book $23 bundle, which adds instructional texts for JavaScript, PHP, R, and more, still for $1 less than the OpenSCAD ebook's usual retail price.

Why wait for the official launch tomorrow when you can 3D print one today? Printables user DiamondCore’s “nearly-accurate” replica prints in just a few hours with only minimal organic supports. It won’t play Mario Kart World, but if you hit yourself hard enough over the head with it, maybe your concussed self could imagine it does. (Disclaimer: Don’t hit yourself over the head.)

Padded Out
We need this PrusaSlicer control pad to happen

but for now it's just a concept courtesy of designer Andrea Perugini. It consists of just six keys (slice, arrange, cut, scale, rotate, and add) and one control knob with a rotary function to work on the X, Y, and Z-axes.

Should it come to life, this little pad could be fun and helpful little peripheral for working in PrusaSlicer. But, what do you think?
