6In this episode Mike & Chris talk about Magic Leap becoming the highest funded startup in a single round ever and why. As well as doubts if this really works, and just another hi-tech con. Plus a revisit of "Tiny Boy," who won the NASA's Mars habitat contest, 3D genome surgery and a look at a CT scanner you put in your dining room. Mike's update on NEODiVR "Loupe," and NEODiVRjr and how to get your hands on the VR demos "OR Surgery" and "Inside Van Gough."

The Print Whisperer:
Chris - Just say NO to backlash. Want better more accurate parts? Do preventative maintenance. Its pretty easy. Just take your favorite wrenches and periodically tighten all the nuts and bolts on your machine. Especially important are motor mount bolts. 3D printers vibrate quite a bit.
