P.S. #1:
This article (ssh! secret/not included above 😀) is especially dedicated to Iakovos Giorgkensenis, mech tech God from the Northern Greeks (once hyggelig, always hyggelig <3)
P.S. #2: (disclaimer :D)
For those amongst us Brave enought (:-D) to reach the end of this post, please be advised: depending on the relevant parties’ feedback and receipt of this blog post series, from 2022 we might be shifting to a more “focus on one article/newsclipping at a time” approach… Any/all suggestions welcome 🙂 Another thought is to focus on one 3DCP Company at a time…. Only Time will tell; New Year hastily approaching 🙂
