Space, baby, yeah!
I am in the middle of constructing one of these



so I can print the custom parts I need to attach one of these



to one of these



It's called a ballocket. This is my first attempt at it, so I'm starting at a small scale (which won't get into space, but will get high enough to see the curvature of the earth).

Eventually I plan to start a business firing people's ashes into low-earth-orbit, hence making millions while at the same time stuffing up satellite TV reception.

Yay for the reprap!

To be boring - you actually do need CAA approval for this sort of thing.

If you want media attention with this,
report to the local press that your son might have snuck onboard. Just like that camera-horny loon in the US did a few years ago.

I quite fancy one of those 3d printers
but I kind of suspect it'll end up the same as the silicon rubber I bought.

With plans to make tremendous detailed copies of interesting things, I bought a litre of silicon rubber + catalyst, already having fibreglass + resin to make said copy.

Having wandered around the house for an hour, looking for suitable things to replicate, I realised there wasn't really anything. It's in my shed, has been there for 18 months now.

Your cock*
Use dental algenate for the mould, in a 2l drinks bottle with a suitable hole cut where the spout is. Prepare enough Gentleman's Literature to keep you "interested" for five or ten minutes (it's fast setting). Aaand... relax, withdraw then mix and fill with silicone.

Hey presto, a unique dildo for your ladyfriend! DP without the embarassing breakfast encounters!

Apparently.

* or your partner's cock, of course

Why would I use
dental algenate, when I have a big tub of silicon rubber?


Wait . . wait . . . why would I be making a model of my cock???

I have a Reprap.
They're fucking expensive to build, difficult to set up just right, and go wrong a lot.

And mine ain't seeing much use either. Well, especially after the hot end spanged itself out of the extruder, deforming it in the process. I now need to machine a mounting collar for the hot end to get it to stay in place.

I said it was a plan.
I didn't say it was realistic, achievable, responsible, ethical, profitable or even a good plan.
