Pay What You Want for the Best Books and Magazines on Personal Fabrication and Unmanned Aircraft!

/EINPresswire.com/ -- SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - February 03, 2016) - No longer merely niche interests for hobbyists, 3D printing and unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming more mainstream each day. Don't let this revolution in personal fabrication and high-flying fun pass you by. Moreover, don't spend too much to learn about them!

In conjunction with Humble Bundle, Make: releases terrific books and essential copies of Make: magazine in a special 3D Printing and Drones bundle at the price you want to pay. Valued at $183, and available through Humble Bundle Feb. 3-17 only, readers can pay any price they choose and support Maker Ed at the same time, helping to ensure that there are more opportunities for young people to learn and grow through Making.

This fresh bundle focuses on two of the most exciting topics currently at play in the Maker Movement: Drones and 3D Printing. Learn to pilot your own drone, and fix/print/fabricate anything you can imagine. What once seemed like the stuff of science fiction is now as ordinary as carrying a super computer around in your pocket and calling it a "telephone."

• The Makerspace Workbench: The ultimate guide to creating and outfitting your own Makerspace with instruction and amplification on everything from screwdrivers to 3D printers.

• Getting Started with Drones: Everything you need to know to build and safely operate your own personal unmanned aerial vehicle. 

• Design for 3D Printing: Basics, how-tos, projects, and tips from the team that founded France's influential LeFabShop will help you 3D print like the pros even without design experience.

On Wednesday, Feb. 10, look for three new titles to join the bundle! Be sure to log in and see what they are.

"We are thrilled to be once again bundling with our good friends at Make: in support of the fantastic Maker Ed," said Kelley Allen, Humble Bundle's Director of Books. "The Maker Movement endeavors to inspire the inner inventor within all of us by sparking creativity, resourcefulness and curiosity.
