I got into Dental School! Thanks to modding!

I got my acceptance letter into Dental school Woohoo! (Finally). During my interview I showed the committee images of my portables that I have built along with the internals. They were very intrigued by this type of hobby and thought it was a great way to build dexterity. I showed them some of my soldering joints and how I would sometimes have to wire within a 1mm gap.

Happy to say that this hobby will help me advance in my dream profession

So you hung out with a bunch of builders and decided to become a dentist?
Are you an elf by any chance?

Congratulations.

Hahah I would love to incorporate 3D printers into dentistry more. I feel like the way that guy made his own "invisaline" could have caused a terrible bite. But still cheaper than an orthodontist I guess ha.

I will be sure to add some Flux when soldering the braces onto the teeth to create a strong solder joint ha!
