It’s not really for hamsters, but it’s about the right size. Mydogellen made this awesome knitted bike – she made an Instructable that explains her approach and the techniques she used.
Nice round up of what 3D printers can do now… via BtB. The concept of custom manufacturing is exciting to nearly everyone, but it always seems to be something that will happen in the “futureâ€. Gibson was right and the following list of applications for 3D printers show the truth in the saying “The future […]

Aside from the coolness factor, one vs. two wheels obviously gives you a nice lowered rolling resistance. My favorite quote from the build is the description of his hitch system (step 8). […]
