A 3D Printer Made From E-Waste

A 3D printer created in no other than Africa by a resourceful 33 year old inventor Kodjo Afate Gnikou from the West African Tojo. He created this 3D printer for roughly 100 dollars. To add more greatness to his accomplishment he salvaged mostly everything from junkyards himself. His main intent is to send his creation and future creations to Mars for colonization. I applaud him for his ambition as an inventor, also this shows the simplicity we have to obtain these circuits and softwares in America and even create our own 3D printers.
Rant: Put this into perspective that comprehending a simple circuit board is pretty simple, yet I think an illusion has been made that understanding these electronics is hard. Hopefully we can integrate these learnings into our high schools in the future rather than spending 4 years learning about the revolutionary war and history.
