If you’ve never heard of a space mouse, the term probably elicited a giggle. A space mouse is an input device like a mouse, but instead of sliding it over a surface, it works more like a 3d point in space. You would typically use it in a 3D program, like CAD. This allows you […]
3D printing presents a fantastic tool for making speakers. If you’ve looked at how modern speakers are made you’ll find that there is all kinds of complex internal geometry that can lead to better sound. As DIY Perks points out, this makes 3D printing the best tool for the job. Unfortunately, the material of plastic […]
I’ve been seeing these little kits floating around and thought that some of you might find them interesting as well. Especially those of you who love Lego. These are called PrintABlock and they’re a clever little toy you can print at home. Designed by the 3D Printing Professor, they are intended to give an experience […]
3D printing is always surprising us with new and inventive ways of using the somewhat simple machines. In this case, there is a new software called HueForge that creates beautifully rendered 2D art work using very limited colors and materials allowed by 3D printing. To understand what HueForge is and why it is so neat, […]

What is a Dopp Kit bag? That’s what I first wondered when I saw this project, and I’ll happily explain the etymology in the end of this article. First, however, we should look at this fantastic project that Becky Stern has shared with us. This kit is a great project to take on if you’ve […]
Shaper reached out to us to test out their new “shaper trace” tool. The idea behind this tool is to be able to capture vector drawings quickly, easily, and with dimensional accuracy. This task is something that is often a difficult thing to achieve when it comes to working with lasers or cnc machines. You […]
