3D PRINTING

Cetus3D recently launched their super minimalist, high resolution 3D printer on Kickstarter. The very cool thing is that early birds can pick this up for only $199. Would love to try one out.

DRONES

Youtube user Jopie Wise uploaded a cool video the other day showing off his custom built drone, with a frame made out of an orange box. Surprisingly it flies pretty well, and it can even carry emergency bread and pastries.
