With a 3D printer, you can be prepared for whatever life throws at you, including the torrents pouring down during the rainy season. Instead of buying umbrellas and wellies, you can 3D print them instead. Here are eight 3D-printed ideas for the rainy season.
1. 3D Printed Turbine Umbrella Hat by Ivan Miranda
Tired of losing umbrellas? Here’s a solution, put it on your head with this 3D-printed Turbine Umbrella Hat by Ivan Miranda.
