Whether you’ve never used a 3D printer or simply let yours gather dust in the workshop, this book will get you Making—and get you thinking about what you’d like to make next!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProjects Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eA 3D-printed LED lamp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eA '50s-style Raygun pen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eA smart SkyCam\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eAnimatronic eyes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eAn inverted trike RC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eChauncey the Wrylon Flower Care Robot (first envisioned in 1913!)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA two-axis camera gimbal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eA BubbleBot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeet the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBrook Drumm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBrook is the founder and CEO of Printrbot, Inc.

CO2 is produced by body metabolism and is a normal component of exhaled breath. It also results from the burning of fossil fuels and natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and wildfires. CO2 levels in outdoor air typically range from 300 to 400 ppm (0.03% to 0.04%) but can be as high as 600-900 ppm in metropolitan areas. Although it is most commonly present as a gas, CO2 can also exist in a solid (dry ice) form. CO2 levels in a conference room, or in a classroom will rise significantly when the door closes and people begin talking and respiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the health effects of carbon dioxide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCO2 is considered to be minimally toxic by inhalation. The primary health effects caused by CO2 are the result of its behavior as a simple asphyxiant. A simple asphyxiant is a gas which reduces or displaces the normal oxygen in breathing air. Symptoms of mild CO2 exposure may include headache and drowsiness. At higher levels, rapid breathing, confusion, increased cardiac output, elevated blood pressure and increased arrhythmias may occur. Breathing oxygen depleted air caused by extreme CO2 concentrations can lead to death by suffocation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you Detect CO (carbon monoxide) with a CO2 Detector?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe answer is no.
