While this book/guide/thing primarily focuses on the less mechancial-engieering-y side of things, it wouldn’t make sense not to include at least a little about 3D printing, molding, materials, gears, springs, and the like. So, here goes:
Vpype (GitHub) - “The Swiss-Army-knife command-line tool for plotter vector graphics.”
Laser Etching Stainless Steel with Mustard (Hackaday)
Achieve true 3D printing with non planar slicing (YouTube, Teaching Tech)
Giant Mechanical Iris! Cut on a CNC Router (YouTube)
Topology Optimization makes for some cool shelves (YouTube)
