A 10cm layer of water over a piece of glass separates above from below. It must be a pretty serious piece of glass; some back-of-the-envelope math based on the published dimensions gives 1,100 kg (2400 lbs) of water that it has to support. Plus its own weight.

People were very curious about all the plastic being extruded and had lots of questions to ask of the hardy Makerbotters. During the festivities, I had a chance to ask a few questions of my own. Want to know more about the MakerBot? Get your hands on a copy of MAKE Volume 21. The MakerBot site is full of good info, and you can see and share lots of designs for parts that can be made over at Thingiverse. Editor's Note: And don't forget our MakerBot CupCake CNC giveaway. Deadline for entry is May 5th! From MAKE magazine: MAKE Volume 21 is the Desktop Manufacturing issue, with how-to articles on making three-dimensional parts using inexpensive computer-controlled manufacturing equipment. Both additive (RepRap, CandyFab) and subtractive (Lumenlab Micro CNC) systems are covered. Also in this issue: instructions for making a cigar box guitar, building your own CNC for under $800, running a mini electric bike with a cordless drill, making a magic photo cube, and tons more. If you're a subscriber, you can access the Digital Edition. Otherwise, you can pick up MAKE 21 in the Maker Shed Read more | Permalink | Comments | Read more articles in 3D printing | Digg this! • Email to a friend • Related • • Certified Nursing Assistant Become a Certified Nursing Assistant.

I needed a case to mount my arduino to various projects. I found a model of the board in the 3D warehouse on Sketchup. Future mods will be extension housings for add on shields and screw terminals. Now i gotta figure out a way to print it. Interested in participating in the contest? Better hurry up, the deadline is May 5th!

His jackets work by recording ambient audio from your surroundings and then chopping the sound up and playing it back through speakers sewn into the collar. You can control the recordings and remixing through sensors on the garment. For more info on Josh's amazing projects, visit his site.

She showed her work at the recent Cambridge Mini Maker Faire and walked me through it. Her site, Soft Circuit Saturdays has a nice collection of clever projects. In the Maker Shed: Fashioning Technology Ready to take your craft projects to the next level? With "smart" materials, unorthodox assembly techniques, and the right tools, you can create accessories, housewares, and toys that light up, make sounds, and more.

Currently, the practical applications of this project include commercial and industrial part modeling, and construction for the ice-tourism industry. For instance, small-scale ice models represent economical alternatives to intricate 3D models of architectural objects, be they scale models of buildings, site models, or building details. Presently, casting techniques are being investigated in order to produce high-quality metal copies from ice originals. In the long term, inhabitable, environmentally-friendly structures will be built at the architectural scale using computer-assisted techniques, thus increasing the level of automation in an industry that is currently very labour intensive.
