I remember in 1996, going to a tiny computer shop and picking up a 14k modem for about 30 pounds. He handed me an AOL cd rom and within 20 minutes I was on the web. I will always remember those of beeps and squeaks as the modem connected.

Keeping on with the pasta theme, keep a couple of mushroom soup cans in your cupboard pantry for this very reason.

Cook some pasta, and drain the water a good minute before the pasta is cooked. To that pan add a tin of mushroom soup and season with pepper. You end up with a creamy mushroom pasta. Top it off with any garnish, including cheese or herbs of your choice. It takes as much time as it would to cook the pasta.

The bread component is either a puri or a bhatura, restaurants use them both. I would call it a large puri. The curry component is chick peas, or what I would call cholle (but as somebody said can also be called Channa masala). The green stuff is a mint chutney, sometimes made by mixing mint and yoghurt but this one looks like it came out of a jar ready made.

I do this right regularly. I created a huge trash can shape container using 8 separate pieces printed in PLA. I then glued together with CA glue and welded the pieces with a 3D pen to make the joints stronger.

A couple of things to remember:

3D pen don’t push the filament like a 3D printer does. You have to slow the flow of the pen down, and let the filament bind to the layers below

There’s a big difference how different PLA will behave with a 3D pen. Some filaments won’t stick as well like others

You have to mimic the behaviour of a printer with the pen. So you have to lay down layers of filament, rather than trying to make it behave like a glue gun.

I bought a Canon Pixma TS705a simply because I wanted a small footprint, no scanner and relatively cheap ink. I can replace all the cartridges for about $11 if I buy the cheaper brands of Amazon
