Hi, I'm Cathal! I studied Genetics in UCC, and am undertaking a postgrad with the Cancer Research Centre in Cork, Ireland. I enjoy science in all its forms (Particularly DIYbio and Genetics), walks/runs/hikes/bikes outdoors (the wilder, the better), computers, P&P Roleplaying, PS3/PC gaming with friends, and recently Design and Engineering.

I got a Makerbot for the feeling of achievement you get when you design something and get to hold it in your own hands. I'm experimenting with product design and marketing through and with the Makerbot/Thingiverse community, and all of my designs are released under a Creative Commons license regardless of whether I sell them or not.

My shop on Shapeways, through which I plan to sell a variety of tools for labwork that might otherwise cost a fortune, can be found here:
shapeways.com/shops/labsfromfabs

I look forward to a lifetime of 3d printing, catalysed and empowered by the Makerbot crew and the community here on Thingiverse. :)
