This is a 3-6v hobby motor edf on a ball joint stand to be used as a fume extractor or a powerful fan. Use infill supports where needed (the duct is bridged and therefor does not require infill supports.) This is also compatible with my modular ball joint set >> https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5890647 which contains various types of connectors for more mounting options. There’s also an assembly video >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCpPy_oDW30

A very special kind of egg cup
You can either print the model in the three individual parts or as a whole model.
If you want to print the model in multiple colors at once, you have to change the filament at the height of 13.2mm and 39.5mm.
I used gold and white filament to print the egg cup trophy.
Eggs up to size M fit in the egg holder.

This is a neat little illusion desk toy I designed. As you slide the black slider in the middle up and down, the strange ribbon appears to slide up and down, its ends vanishing into the void.
This print requires two standard skateboard bearings, but everything else is printed, and shouldn’t require gluing.

Researchers at The Ohio State University have fabricated a wearable sensor designed to detect and monitor muscle atrophy.
While physicians currently rely on MRI to assess whether a patient’s muscle size and volume have deteriorated, frequent testing can be time-consuming and costly.
However, this new study published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering suggests that an electromagnetic sensor made out of conductive “e-threads” could be used as an alternative to frequent monitoring using MRI.

NEW GUIDE: PicoDVI Arduino Library: Video Out for RP2040 Boards
Maybe you’ve seen some of these DVI video projects running on RP2040 microcontrollers. Video straight from a microcontroller to a computer monitor or the big telly in your living room! It’s mind-boggling, but can be a challenge to use.
What we’ve done is take the open source PicoDVI project and wrapped it up in an Arduino library so it’s more accessible to us mortals. Choose from a list of available framebuffer sizes and depths, then draw using familiar Adafruit_GFX function calls.
This is strictly for RP2040-based boards and may require a carrier board or breakout…or we’ve got an all-in-one board coming soon!
Chris of Clickspring continues his video series on setting up a home machine shop. In this video, he looks at the very intimidating subject of choosing a metal lathe. He starts off by applying three basic criteria: cost, space, and what are you planning to make.
Answering these questions will instantly help narrow down your field of choices. He cautions you to remember to include all of the tooling and accessories you’ll need to operate your lathe and to consider an ample amount of space to move freely around your lathe for cleaning and maintenance.
From there he runs through what specifications to pay attention to and what features to look for. He also discusses the possible weaknesses of cheaper import lathes and what can be done to overcome them.
And through it all, you get to hear the awesome way he pronounces “lathe” in his Aussie accent.

I first saw the 1956 sci-fi masterpiece, Forbidden Planet, on a late night “Creature Feature” when I was maybe 13 or 14 years old. With it’s eerie “electronic tonalities” score, the strange, craggy planet of Altair IV, the endlessly thrumming underground machinery a lost advanced civilization below it, and a monster from the ID, I’m sure I had the strangest nightmares that night.
As an older teen and adult, watching it countless times since, I marvel at how well much of it holds up. My god, 1956! And I’ve come to understand the innovative brilliance of the Cedric Gibbons and Arthur Lonergan sets, the Joshua Meador animations, the pioneering electronic music–so incredible ahead of its time–by Bebe and Louis Barron, and the MGM art department’s now-iconic design of Robby the Robot.
Here are a few snippets of recovered “lost” footage from the film and some deleted scenes.

Animals have personalities just like we do!Smithsonian shares.
Scientists are increasingly realizing that animals, like people, are individuals. They have distinct tendencies, habits and life experiences that may affect how they perform in an experiment. That means, some researchers argue, that much published research on animal behavior may be biased. Studies claiming to show something about a species as a whole—that green sea turtles migrate a certain distance, say, or how chaffinches respond to the song of a rival—may say more about individual animals that were captured or housed in a certain way, or that share certain genetic features. That’s a problem for researchers who seek to understand how animals sense their environments, gain new knowledge and live their lives.

Did you know that every March 25 is Tolkein Reading Day? Since 2003 fans have celebrated by reading, listening to and discussing the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
Why March 25th? Because this is the date Frodo destroyed the ring in Mount Doom. You can see what else happened in Arda (and regular earth) on March 25 here!

There is a memory issue with the Wii U causing an epidemic of bricked consoles. This could be devastating for collectors and archivist. The e-shope closes next week and for a console that didn’t sell very well, any loss of units is worrisome.
Fear not! The pico may just be the solution. Voultar goes through the steps on YouTube. Reported on by Club386:
This fix ‘patches’ the title ID that somehow gets corrupt, causing the system to become unable to launch the OS menu. To be more precise, the Raspberry Pi Pico is used to inject UDPIH which allows booting from the SD card – without any pre-modification to the Wii U – that hosts a recovery menu file. To do so, the Pico must be connected to one of the front USB ports right at the moment the Wii U drive initialises.

Hi, I have been looking for a long time for a model of a trihedron that could be used as a tool for training or even for normal work on a coordinate measuring machine or other cnc machines. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything suitable, so I finally made my own model. I will be very happy if some of you also find it useful.
It’s made up of simple components for seamless printing, then you glue it together and that’s it.

When I first saw reproductions of Rose B. Simpson’s mysterious ceramic guardians, I immediately wished I could see the actual objects. My wish was granted with her debut New York exhibition, Rose B. Simpson: Road Less Traveled, at Jack Shainman Gallery, running through April 8. The subject of recent solo exhibitions, including LIT: The Work of Rose B. Simpson, at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in Santa Fe, New Mexico (2019), and Rose B. Simpson: Legacies at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston (August 11, 2022–January 29, 2023), Simpson is an innovative sculptor who both breaks the mold and, according to the ICA press release, extends her legacy as “part of a multigenerational, matrilineal lineage of artists working with clay.” She has done more with her talents than anyone has the right to expect, and that comes through in the work.

This trashbot is doing more than just taking out the trash, it is also helping researchers study human robot interaction. The pi based pair of robots was reported on by TechXplore. NYer’s are so bad after all, some of the findings even gave me a chuckle:
Among their findings were that people welcomed the robots and were appreciative of their assistance. Some sought to “help” the robots by offering trash and moving obstacles from their path. Pedestrians even invested the robots with humanlike intentions, assuming, for instance, that wobbling motions were signals of appreciation, when in fact the motions were simply due to uneven pavement.

On ProjectAir, James wanted to know how fast he could get a Lego car to go using only Lego parts. He built a number of different vehicles and tested their speeds. It’s fascinating to see how gear reductions, different wheel sizes, different motors, etc. and different combos of all of these can make a difference.
After getting up to 12km/h with Lego parts, he decides to cheat and starts messing around with rocket-powered Lego cars and a more powerful non-Lego motor that ends up getting the car up to 42km/h before the Lego bits vibrate the car apart.
