For many, a line of LEGO-inspired 3D printed jewelry is sure to bring a wave of nostalgia. For others who still regularly buy LEGO sets, it’s simply an ingenious way to repurpose those extra bricks as fashion accessories. Such is the premise behind the new jewelry line from French design studio Hint Lab. Thomas and Allie (the duo behind Hint Lab) came up with LEGO-based jewelry designs simply by sketching out their concepts, such as cross ring, quickly modeling them to LEGO dimensional accuracy and 3D printing. Once orders are placed, Hint Lab sends the design over to Shapeways to print the high-res model with wax before casting in bronze,…
Drones are awesome. You can use them to get fantastic camera shots, spy on your neighbors, and even… drop dangerous objects to the ground?! Yeah, Alex Apollonov of I Did A Thing is back at it again. Upon getting his hands on his very own drone, the first thought that came to his mind was: “Could I drop assassin darts using this?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=969XGZ_t7cE&ab_channel=Ididathing Making the Darts The darts took inspiration from lazy dogs – tiny kinetic projectiles used by the U.S. during the Korean and Vietnam wars. Alex made his homemade darts out of 1045 medium-tensile carbon steel. After shaping several different-sized darts on his lathe, he welded stabilizing fins to make…
Good product design is simple yet easy to pick up. It’s why things like the iPod were revolutionary years ago. You could pop Apple’s music player into your grandparents’ hands, and they would figure out a way to use it in minutes. But good product design can also be versatile, allowing a single object to do a lot of tasks. This goes for things like the hammer, the smartphone, and of course, the knife. The bushcraft knife, in particular, is a tool with a variety of uses. While you can use it indoors just like any other knife, its usefulness shows itself when you’re outdoors in the middle of nowhere.…
Have you ever wished to enjoy a Pokémon-themed playground before? Well, it’s about to be a dream come true for kids in Japan. Well, those children who live in Fukushima, at least. You could find Chansey all over the prefecture even before this thrilling news. Then, the character just got hotter and is now the main attraction of the town of Namie. The reason? The said Pokémon is now the town playgrounds’ main highlight. For those who don’t live in Japan, the Pokémon Chansey was dubbed the official Pokémon mascot of the prefecture back in 2019. Since Chansey is a lucky Pokémon (its Japanese name “Rakkii” literally means “lucky”), this…
Average drivers of cars are content with getting from point A to point B in one piece. Other drivers – those who chase the adrenaline rush or have a death wish – want to go faster. It’s why racing has been a thing for years and why certain car companies spend tons of money to get a little more speed out of their vehicles. One field these car companies invest in is aerodynamics – or how things move through the air. By adjusting the shape and orientation of certain parts, you can get a faster car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMpaDtIXrXI&t=682s&ab_channel=ProjectAir The same principle works on toy cars, albeit on a smaller scale.
