We get tons of emails about cool crowdfunding projects. There’s no way we could write about all of them individually, so we thought we would collect a few to share with you. These are in no particular order and are all currently active.
Nomiku #2
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nomiku/new-nomiku-sous-vide-wifi-connected-and-made-in-th
The first one was a big hit. The new one ads some nice upgrades like wireless connectivity. We’ve watched them grow from the very beginning and absolutely love what they’ve done.
Blink: Wire free home monitoring and alert system
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/505428730/blink-wire-free-hd-home-monitoring-and-alert-syste
see on Kickstarter
“Blink is a Kickstarter to watch because it’s not just an interesting product, it could be a leading indicator of something different, a different way to bring new silicon to market.” – Alasdair Allan
Slice Media Player and More
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fiveninjas/slice-a-media-player-and-more?ref=discovery
“Slice is a Kickstarter to watch because it uses the new Raspberry Pi Compute Module. It’s an XBMC-based media player that includes a hard drive to store your media, so a network connection isn’t required. And of course, since it’s based on the Raspberry Pi, it’s quite open and hackable.” –Matt Richardson
The t-100 underwater thruster
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/847478159/the-t100-a-game-changing-underwater-thruster?ref=category_recommended
see on Kickstarter
“The T100 is this classic story of a maker building something because he couldn’t find what he wanted. The company, Blue Robotics was founded because its creators wanted to build a surfboard robot, to send across the Pacific and collect data, but there was no appropriate thruster in their price range.” -Nathan Hurst

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/937295081/edison-fun-robotics-for-tomorrows-inventors

Blacksmith Genesis: 3D printer and Scanner
“You can scan something then print it right out with one machine. Seems like this was going to be a trend a year or so ago but most people moved on from the scanning part. Maybe blacksmith does it well. Certainly worth a look.” – Caleb Kraft
Blacksmith on Indiegogo

see on Kickstrarter
