In the interests of not working, I think we should play show us your shoes.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't understand 3-D printing- are the things made of paper?
Can be, but depends on the printer--metal, polymer, plastics. They're, like, accreted (browser hates that word) layer by layer based on the "print file" sent to the printer. So you can have a model file of a birdbath, for instance, and it will go layer by layer and build one from the bottom up, fusing the material together to make a solid structure.
I am not wearing shoes, because at the beach. My toenails are OPI I Don't Give a Rotterdam. [link]

Or some things, like jewelry -- I'm thinking mostly of rings meant to be cast in precious metals -- print a wax mold, which you take to a jeweler to cast in gold.

Pretty!
Okay, Lee: [link] Polish is OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue. Sandals from Lands End.
My crowns weren't so much printed as they were carved.
Really want all thunder to desist now and stay that way until 7. I ask for so little!

eta: they could have been posed better, like not on top of my empty lunch container.
In super high tech labs they are printing with all sorts of things - I just heard a piece on NPR about using 3d printers to print microscopic rechargeable batteries smaller than a grain of sand.
