I’m pretty sure, that if you built a geodesic dome fort with your kid, you would be classified as the best parent ever… which is part of the reason why we’re SUPER EXCITED the geodesic dome HUB KITS are now available! The other reason we’re excited is this is secretly a reason for us to construct geodesic domes ALL over our yard. When we first saw the Hubs kits, we were impressed with both the simplicity and the variety of structures the system lends itself to. With a set of Hubs and some sticks, you can build anything from a garden room, fruit cage, outdoor reading room, greenhouse, chicken run,…

Crackling, layers of grass snapped beneath our toes–All the way to the shore we thought we would never reach. The edge of the sky was behind us, seeming to keep up with the swarm of small, fur-laden creatures–a mat of them spreading across the valley, with the awe-amplifying, juice box convenience of these links.

You can’t taste this rainbow, but it sure looks great when it’s blended together to make truly multi-colored 3D prints. That’s exactly what the ORD Solutions new RoVa4D 3D printer is able to accomplish using five different (CMYK+W) colored filaments. This is ORD’s third successful Kickstarter-backed 3D printer with the first (MH3000) debuting in 2013 and followed by the popular RoVa3D in 2014, making them a trusted manufacturer among the maker and DIY communities. To their testament, ORD successfully funded the RoVa4D printer in less than six hours, garnering $216K, way beyond their $25K goal. ORD designed their new printer to blend colors seamlessly using everyone’s most beloved color model…

3D Platform has long been known as a producer of “huge” 3D printers, but the word “huge” will have to be replaced after this announcement. Their flagship product, the 3DP Workbench, was a well-received 1m-sized 3D printer, far less costly than most industrial alternatives. It was essentially a highly-tuned, scaled up version of a desktop 3D printer. It even uses the same spools of plastic that desktop machines consume, although for printing large objects you might need more of them. Quite a few more. But now that’s all changed with the introduction of two brilliant new 3D printing concepts. The first is the 3DP Delta Additive Manufacturing Series. As you…

Although summer is officially coming to a close, squirt gun weather is still in full effect in most places. But regardless if you have sniper-like skills from the bushes or have a more run and gun approach, you’ll likely want to stay home for the afternoon if this (big) kid comes out to play. Built by YouTuber Asp and simply known as “The Impulse Gun Mk. 1”, this lethal pressurized water blasting device is closer to an arm-mounted waterjet cutting system than your average Super Soaker. Unfortunately, Google Translate failed to give us much more detail than that –– although it’s clear that Asp just might have unknowingly put himself…

Sure, there’s dozens –– if not hundreds –– of pens out there that are the perfect everyday carry companion. But how many of those are made from Grade A butt-kicking aerospace-grade material? Heck, how many also double as a tablet stylus? The SMRT Limited Edition Carbon Fiber Rollerball Pen offers the rare combination of an interchangeable pen and stylus combo paired with a quality carbon fiber outer shell similar to more classic elegant pens. When it comes to actually putting pen to paper, the Rollerball uses German-made Topball 850 refills, which offer smooth and continuous ink for writing and sketch sessions. The best part? The Rollerball is just $29.99 through…
