This is a video of Youtuber Carlos 3D Print constructing a human-sized Pokeball using a wooden frame and a ton of 3D printed panels. He then covered the ball with fiberglass and resin before painting. It looks good. Plus it has an interior that reminds me of Darth Vader’s masturbation

This is a video of the Great Ball Contraption (GBC) of Japan Brickfest 2025, constructed using 49 different ball-moving LEGO modules from eight master LEGO builders. The machine spans a very respectable 31 meters (102 feet). Damn, that is a lot of ball moving! Me? When I’m uncomfortable at the

Developed by researchers at the Istituto Italiano Di Tecnologia along with researchers from Centro E. Piaggio at the University of Pisa (teamwork!), the SoftFoot Pro is a flexible artificial foot designed to mimic a human foot in order to adapt to the terrain it’s standing on. And it requires no

Because you can never have enough cowbell bass, Philip Kaplan (previously seen reinventing portable music with CD player headphones) went and built a tactical subwoofer. At first I was skeptical, but after watching the video it’s managed to break into the top 10 of my Christmas list. I’m really hoping

This is a video of maker of marginally useful things Uri Tuchman constructing an auto-deploying tape measure. That’s neat. What would be even neater is if it were a voice-activated SMART tape measure. “Tape measure, give me 4-feet 5-inches!” Yeah…that would really be something.
