If your work routine has been obliterated over the past few weeks, and you’re now working from home, you’ve likely noticed that a mobile phone doesn’t quite facilitate your hardcore 3D modeling regiment. Well, BOXX Computers, well known for workstations that specialize in power for 3D professionals, is offering up some new deals on their mobile workstation line where you can save up to $400 on their GoBOXX mobile workstations. The GoBOXX systems come sized in 15″ and 17″ with Intel i7 or i9 (8-core) options from 2.6 GHz to 4.9 GHz and an NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 or 5000 GPU. The displays are HD (1920×1080) with the laptops weighing…

There’s nothing worse than going to an Asian restaurant with no idea how to use chopsticks. For shame. Sure, you could do the sensible thing and ask for a spoon and fork, but something in the back of your head says, “That’s just bad manners!” YouTuber The Q is back at it again, this time with an easy fix for your chopstick woes. I’m not sure if his project would save your pride but it’s sure to make people wonder what you’re doing, and we certainly think there are some prosthetic applications here. Let’s break it down: 1. Make the Housing Base After cutting and sanding a few blocks of…

If you’re a fan of The Simpsons, you may have heard of a little show called Futurama. Made by Matt Groening, the same creator of those yellow folks from Springfield, Futurama ran for 140 episodes and featured a cryogenically preserved human being who wakes up 1,000 years in the future. One of the things he has to contend with in this new future is a robot called Bender Bending Rodriguez (“Bender” for short) – a fast-talking, alcoholic robot who looks very much like The Simpsons’ Homer. He also looks like prime material for metalworking, so much so that Andriy from Engineer BrunS was commissioned to make a CNC machined Bender…

Lurching forward with the gait of a bow-legged frog, it grappled the starboard blast door, slowing the ship in its departure. Lacking the chin flap fur shavings of the eldersquirrel, we would need to increase rear thruster capacity with a small squeeze of these links. David Aguero – Massive, wonderful scenes of distant planets, spacecraft, and ancient creatures from this Argentina-based concept designer. Fanal Forest – Yes, this is a real place. Yes, these are real photos. Located in Madeira, Portugal and photographed by Albert Dros. Hexcolor.co – Another color palette generator? There cannot be too many. This one is particularly nice. Spacebar for a new one. Quilling – Instagram…

Have skills and itching to make a difference with the shortages in coronavirus-related supplies? There are lots of individuals, companies, and communities organizing and many other open-source personal protection equipment (PPE) designs available. Investigate the list below to find a way to put your vital CAD-modeling, 3D-printing, nunchuck skills, and other talents to use! There’s a lot going on (and a lot of projects!), so just remember, DO WHAT YOU DO BEST and you can help no matter if it’s in small ways are big ways. If you have any to add, please let us know in the comments below. Disclaimer: We’re not making any claims of the effectiveness or…

During the crisis, many are anxious to “do something” to help, and 3D print experts are stepping up to do their part.  Many groups and companies have organized COVID-19 projects to help hospitals, redirect their resources to manufacturing essential goods, and other ventures. But on an individual basis, it can be more challenging to figure out something effective to do.  The scene for an individual is rather chaotic. There are now dozens of sites, lists, Slack channels, Facebook groups, forums and others purporting to “coordinate” activities, but the broad view of this work is quite confusing and not properly coordinated. I think a good approach is to simply do what…
