4D printer

Well, I have tried and failed to print a TARDIS a few times, as you can see...

Now it could just be that I still have not quite managed to get the knack of getting the first layer to stick and stay stuck.

Or it could be that it is impossible to print a TARDIS with only a 3D printer. What you need is an extra stepper motor for the 4th dimension. Well, the stepper motor is easy but the plastic part to mount it correctly can only be printed on a 4D printer and I don't know anyone that has one yet :-)

I'll manage it eventually. Getting closer though.
