What /sci/ gear do you all recommend? Telescope? Microscope?

So, as my OP suggests, I bought some dinoflagellates.

They are plankton that bioluminesce to try to match the color of moonlight hitting the water. They do this as a type of camouflage so that they are not eaten.

However, my dinoflagellates sadly died in the mail, so I am trying to find some interesting nerd swag to cheer me up.

I have a large bookshelf of those already. Do you have a particularly interesting one that comes to mind?

Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in my apartment. Otherwise, I would consider getting a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and naming it Ein.

How about a plant? I've got a mimosa plant. I don't know if that qualifies as /sci/ gear.

hahaha like le cowboy bebob doge XDXD hehehehe I watched anime too bro!

Definitely it counts! That plant is very interesting.

Probably that uses up a lot of energy for the plant. I suppose, if I get some, I should grab a few so that I don't accidentally kill one by playing with it so much.

mimosa hostilus is essential

get an instrument. a ukelel or pianlol.

It closes up then it takes a while to open again.

Soldering iron, a couple arduinos, a rasp pi, rubik's cube, lotta broken hard drives and other computer parts.

Add some mycobacterium vaccae and tickling your plant will dose you wish a tiny amount of cognition enhancing bacteria.

How about 3d printers? Are they a meme? Are they fun? Are there any that are affordable?

Klien Bottle.

You can buy one at my website

http://www.kleinbottle.com/

They're usually on sale during any lunar eclipse.

What's affordable? I got a cheap prusa i3 kit from china that cost me $250 a year ago. I think they're closer to $200 now.

/diy/ usually has a 3d print general but it appears to be down at the moment.

Pretty much a meme.
> Are they fun?
If you think staring at a box for hours is fun sure.
> Are there any that are affordable?

What do you think you'll make?

I bought one just a week ago, should arrive sometime this week. Could post back if you're interested? It was a 200 dollar chinese kit, so I'm really wondering about the quality, lol, but the reviews were good so we'll see. Model is a Kossel Delta.

>>8657057

I am not sure. If I get one, maybe some interesting art pieces (e.g. DNA sculpture) and might download some projects from the internet.

>>8657062

That one looks nice. Yeah, that would be awesome.

>>8657039

I have definitely been to this website before and have seen the secret treasure trove of klein bottles.

Oh man. I forgot about the custom made robot too! Neat stuff,

I doubt my cheap machine could do that.
But it's like 10 years old now, so maybe
