Central city stayaways

Shannon Beynon Reporter from Christchurch Mail

Have you been into the central city since the earthquakes?
Our discussion about busses a couple of weeks ago prompted an interesting email from someone who revealed she hasn't been into the CBD since the earthquakes. I don't think she's alone, but I'd be interested to know how many people are in the same boat.
Have you stayed away from the central city, either deliberately or because the transport isn't there? Why? Do you know someone who has chosen or hasn't been able to visit?
Please comment below (include NFP in your comments if you don't wish them to appear in print) or email me if you're happy for a reporter to give you a call to discuss. Thanks! Shannon.

China is placing a 3D printer in every classroom. Some 400,000 printers. What do they know that we don't? Do we need a 3D printer in our classrooms or is there a better option?

Once I have a 3D printer I will be looking to provide the following schools with free 3D printing for staff and students. Bamford School, St. Ann's Catholic School, Tamariki School, Te Waka Unua School, St Marks School, Christchurch Rudolf Steiner School, Opawa School, Mt Pleasant Primary School, and St Martins School. Why these schools, because they are within easy cycling distance of where I live. My first step is to raise sufficient funds for a 3D printer. If anyone can help me with that it would be very much appreciated.

I would like to offer the local schools a free 3D printing service. I have experience with 3D printing but don't have a printer at this time. I am willing to cover the cost of materials and have a little money put aside towards a 3D printer. I need help raising the the rest of the money needed to get a printer, about $1,000. The 3D printer I am looking at getting is the Prusa i3 MK3 kit. This printer produces high quality prints in a variety of materials and is great value for money. It is also expandable to allow for multi colour printing.
