Wouldn’t it be fun to live in a world made of LEGOs? Apart from the excruciating pain of stepping on anything LEGO, the ability to build whatever you think of at a moment’s notice would open up a world of vlocky possibility. While we may never live in such a world, the Bricker add-on for Blender may be the next best thing. Created by Bricks Brought to Life, Bricker converts your 3D Blender models into bonafide LEGO models. Whether it be a static object or one in motion, you can use the add-on to generate an accurate LEGO representation of your work. Once you have Bricker installed, clicking on the…

Let’s settle a debate: Magneto is the best character in X-Men. He’s suave, he’s broody from a rich backstory, and he does more exciting things with technology than Batman could ever hope for. It’s beautiful work to pull out excess iron from inside someone’s blood and body. And who doesn’t want to lift metal beams with a flick of a wrist? This tool won’t give you that per se, but it does offer a minuscule taste of what it’s like to have Magneto’s inherent magnetism. Heh. SE’s Telescoping Magnetic Pick-up Tool This handy, little tool is fairly straightforward. As its name suggests, it is a tool with a magnet on…

“If you want something to stand out, the best way to do so is to light it up like a Christmas tree.” Creators Ollie Hanton, Michael Wessely, Stefanie Mueller, Mike Fraser, and Anne Roudaut have taken this idea to heart and crafted a method to add light on any surface using a unique electroluminescent coating. ProtoSpray combines multi-material 3D printing and the application of electroluminescent materials to create interactive touch-sensitive light displays on any shape. The process starts very similarly to how you would normally 3D print an object. During the design process, the base electrode area is printed with a conductive PLA (e.g. Proto-Pasta Conductive PLA), each having a…

No matter how much you may be winning your latest video game, there’s no winnin’ when your snacks are out of reach. You have options like placing multiple bags and bowls within arms reach but what if you could have a bowl attached to your controller? And what if it had a gimbal design to keep your snacks stationary? …excluding the occasional tossing of the controller across the room, of course. In perhaps our most almost-practical model of the week, Noycebru presents his ultra-innovative controller attachment to keep a sizeable snack load within a double jump of your nubs. This is a gyro snack bowl mount for your Xbox one…

It’s always nice when a product’s design lends itself to multiple functions. Not only is it more versatile, but saves a ton of space by doing what two or more things do. And, if you think the room/cubicle divider couldn’t be innovated any further, Stone Designs is out to prove you wrong. Their Gemini divider, designed in collaboration with Glimakra, is a furniture piece which looks like a head-height whiteboard on one side, a divider on another, with a full-on storage area in between. It’s one furniture piece with three specific functions. The Gemini works just as well at home as it does plopped between you and a fellow co-worker.…

When we started harvesting the Gloobs of Moondrahr we hadn’t considered their spiky exteriors and razor-like barbs effect on our mesh containment system. Fortunately, we had just enough propellant left to spray-line the interior with the plasticy protection of these links. Tan Zhi Hui – His skewed stylings are a beauty to behold. Characters you’ll recognize from comic to manga and beyond with some process shown among his works. Whimsical Balance – 3D exploration of geometry and light.
