Your radio with its little knobs and its local area frequency range is so first-half of 2020. You need a radio that captures all the hopes and dreams of THE FUTURE… and over 2000 radio stations from AROUND THE ENTIRE WORLD. In what we would list at the top of ‘projects of the year’, Jude Pullen has extracted the rich pulp of his ingenuity to create the RadioGlobe, a desktop globe that summons the power of internet radio to play a station in the targeted area. It’s a build that combines 3D printing, PCB and Electronics, Mechanical Assembly, Wiring and Programming to bring a little more interest, a little more…

trangel pillow

When you think of pillows, the first thing that comes to mind is lying down for a good snooze. A massive pillow fight is likely a close second. Pillow design, however, isn’t something that even seen necessary – stuffing, foam, or feathers sewn up in a sack, right? Yet, this pillow is design with ultimate comfort in mind for sleeping or even sitting. At first glance, it may seem odd that the Trangel pillow caters to the less popular idea of using a pillow as a sitting aid. I mean, it’s just a pillow shaped like a right triangle. But upon closer inspection, you can see just how useful this…

Since it became relatively accessible in the halcyon days of 2009-2017, give or take, 3D printing has been lauded as revolutionary tech – and for a good reason. Even excluding specialized machines that might solve homelessness from the equation, you’ve still got a hefty bit of creative power within reach. When it’s not geared towards sustainable development goals, 3D printing finds use at home. For everything from manifesting a child’s wildest imagination to creating prototypes for further technological innovations. Noble goals accounted for, exactly how much does it cost to give shape to something as abstract as ~dreams~? Well, according to ANYCUBIC, all you need is some technical know-how and…

jeep gladiator

When it comes to offroad vehicles, few manufacturers have the staying power and impact as the original Jeep. So when something new comes out of their factories, like say their 2020 midsize Gladiator pickup truck, people tend to jump at the chance to drive one – we’re anxious to do so here. So, when Jeep released a video showing how these dirt-kickers are produced, gotta admit, we were a bit excited. Jeep Gladiator Assembly Line Built in the south plant of the Toledo Assembly Complex which has been making Jeeps since the 1940s, the 2020 Gladiator is the company’s first pickup truck since the ultra-hip Comanche was discontinued in 1992.…

Ya know, a lot of people are impressed by a 70″ flat screen as the centerpiece of the living room. But what if that massive monitor was instead a massive 3D printed clock? Yes, endless hours of entertainment AND so much better as a focal point for your home. Now, this week’s ‘model of the week’ isn’t exactly the size of a flat-screen TV but I have no doubt you could make one as large, chuck that TV, and have your clock playing 24-7. Created by Jacques Favre, ‘The First Clock’ is a remake of his very first 3D printed clock designed two years ago. My first fascination with mechanisms…

Colony Cleanup

If you like to go on leisurely hikes outdoors, chances are you’ve brought along some snacks for the trip. And while that’s by no means a bad thing, it always becomes a problem when you’ve finished said snacks and have no place to throw your trash. Some good Samaritans keep their trash in their bags and dispose of it properly. Others simply dump their garbage on the nature trail without a second thought. The Colony Cleanup bag was created to make cleaning up after yourself easier. Unlike plastic grocery bags often reused to hold trash, this nylon pack was made especially for packing, storing, and eventually disposing of your waste.…
