3D-Printed Möbius Bacon Strip
Being able to ask “what if…” and getting a print a few minutes later is part of what makes 3D printing so amazing. You might not be able to print a flying car or jetpack anytime soon, but rather, indulging creative curiosity to further the next big thing brings the future that much closer. Therefore, Joaquin Baldwin’s 3D-printed bacon Möbius strips are even cooler than originally thought, and a steal at $19 from Shapeways.

Craft Your Way Through the Election
Unless you’ve been hiding under a Ba-rock (sorry) you have been inundated with information and opinions about this election. This post contains none of that, I just wanted to show you how the cute, but now retired blog, Sewer Sewist celebrated the last election with their Obama Craft Project . A refreshingly positive and fun way of dealing with these elections. So keep yourself sane with your crotchet, knitting, or sewing needles tonight!

First International Maker Meetup, on 3D Printing, Nov 15
Next Thursday, the first of our new International Maker Meetups is happening. The idea here is to get makers all over the world together, to talk about the latest issue of MAKE, and making in general, hang out with like-minded people in your area, and hopefully have a lot of fun. The main subject of this meet up will be 3D printing and our just-printed Make: Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing.
