Since the age of 3D printing things is upon us, folks at Ubunnys thought this is the perfect time to use the technology to the product that is always present in any bathroom: razors. But besides being the first-ever 3D-printed razor in the market, what can it offer you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXZXtNR5XAU&ab_channel=householdproducts To be honest, the X-ONE isn’t all that different from the razor you currently have in your bathroom. Each blade cartridge comes with 6-layer precision blades set in a tri-layer arrangement, which is supposed to give you some of the closest shaves ever. It even has that iconic razor shape you’ve come to know and love. What really sets it…
There are lots of things needed to produce the world’s most transparent ice. If you are wondering what you need to try the project at home: it’s a clothes iron. Weird, isn’t it? Well, it is not for an ice manufacturer in Japan that produces its clear blocks using the said appliance. In a video by YouTube channel Bites, we find out how the ice manufacturer does it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTygiQSNtJE&ab_channel=bites According to Toyosuke Nakasone of Cue Walk, pouring water on the ice changes its temperature drastically in an instant. This can cause the ice block to crack. The best tool for the job is a clothes iron with an aluminum base.…
It’s been some time since we last had a story about Faber-Castell factories. A few years ago, the company gave viewers a tour of their pencil factory. And just last year, they gave us a closer look at their highlighter making process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQE2q-1bNZE&ab_channel=Faber-Castell It all takes place at their Engelhartszell plant in Austria. According to Faber-Castell, over 35 million writing materials are produced in this plant every year. This translates to 250 tons of ink fueling them. A total of four key chapters make up their production process: injection molding, ink mixing, assembly, and packaging. Injection Molding The first chapter has very little to do with the actual writing material.…
At some point in our childhood, I’m sure all of us have dragged our toy cars across the wall. It makes perfect sense as a kid: why get on our knees and push cars across the floor when a wall works just as well? Debashis Das of DD ElectroTech was reminded of this childhood pastime when his nephew did the exact same thing with his toy car. Surprised that no toy company is offering a wall-driving car, Debahis took it upon himself to make his own. So what did he use? Magnets? Adhesives? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aRTyQwMWqY&ab_channel=DDElectroTech Nope. Turns out, all you need to get is a good suction mechanism. The Miniscule Motor…

Rollercoasters are fun. LEGOs are also fun. Therefore, by the unspoken rule of cool, putting the two together only makes the end result much cooler. A few months ago, Chris Burton of Half-Asleep Chris took 10 LEGO roller coaster sets with the sole purpose of making a single, giant roller coaster. After opening 423 plastic bags and sorting the 37,116 LEGOs found inside, he got to the task of turning his living room into a LEGO amusement park ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7fGPE7M6MU&ab_channel=Half-AsleepChris The initial goals were to make the roller coaster as high as possible, have at least one loop, and make it using only LEGOs. But upon hitting the halfway point…
