Próteses acessíveis, Cycle Chaser, Guia 3D para 2015, e uma cadeira desdobrável!

Dica do nosso amigo Dave Addinsall, eis algo que é mesmo inspirador, as Próteses ficaram bastante mais acessíveis, graças à Impressão 3D!
Impecável!
Atenção, Países Lusófonos, isto é muito importante, dada a quantidade de Amputados de Guerra.
Faz-nos ter mais esperança na Espécie Humana...

3D Printed Prosthetics As Affordable Limb Replacements
 

Geoffrey Craig

As proof positive of the potential inherent in 3D printing prosthetic limbs can be produced at such a low price as to be within reach of millions of previously underserved populations. The use of the technology to manufacture bespoke prosthetic limbs is a revolutionary breakthrough for the millions of amputees of the world, in rich and poor nations alike.

Doutro nosso amigo, Alan Metcalfe, vem esta Dica, uma divertida ideia para vos tornar as Noites de Ciclismo mais seguras...

Cycle Chaser
Matt Richardson

Project animations from the rear of your bicycle. The framerate depends on the speed you are moving at.

A couple years ago, I created a dynamic bike headlight with a Raspberry Pi and a small, battery-operated projector. I’ve been eager to explore what else I could do with a projector and a Raspberry Pi on my bike, so I created the Cycle Chaser.

Já não me lembro de onde veio esta dica, mas é uma boa oferta para o Ano Novo, um Guia para as Impressoras 3D:

Which 3D Printer should I buy?

is the most common question we at 3D Hubs are asked.

We reached out to our global community of Hubs to learn from their experience and see what they thought of the 3D Printers they own. The 2015 3D Printer Guide is based on the reviews of 2,279 verified 3D Printer owners. Their collective 1623 years of 3D Printing experience coupled with 317,000 prints completed on 235 different 3D Printer models, makes this the most comprehensive guide available.

E eis algo de bacano para Casa e Jardim, uma cadeira desdobrável, fácil de se fazer, e barata, também, sem cortar na qualidade...

Esta é que se pode realmente pôr em qualquer canto!

Folded Plate Chair #3B

This is a design for an "origami style" plywood chair. After doing some initial prototypes with various sheet goods and continuous hinges I settled on this design as a good balance of affordability and quality.
