I was given an Ender 3 Pro last week and after a few bumps managed to successfully CAD, slice and print a booster seat for my phone. The caddy as it was would grab the volume down button on my phone, this little wedge solves the issue!

Wow. I think the big changeover here will be the electric vehicle. By default they’re auto and will determine the future of transmission type as they become more common. We also have a culture of passing the driving test in a manual, so that you can drive both. An automatic driving license does not allow us to drive manual vehicles.

When we visited Europe a number of years ago I had to learn stick and we all practiced quite a bit because renting an automatic wasn't reasonable. It's actually pretty hard to find a manual to learn on and not all learner agencies even have one.

Same here in poland. Automatics are and have been getting much more popular though over the years. I have ditched a manual for my daily a long while ago. Many people I know now never learned to drive a manual, or did learn but then drove automatics and are afraid they don’t remember how to stir the oil manually.
