MakerBot Replicator Z18

MakerBot Replicator Z18

The latest 3D printer from MakerBot has a massive 12″ x 12″ x 18″ build area, which allows for printing large models, or multiple small ones at once. We want one just so we can print skulls like the one shown here.

Planetary Panoramas

Photographer Vincent Brady combined images captured from multiple cameras to create what is possibly the most mind-bending time-lapse video we’ve ever seen. The way the sky twists and flows is just mesmerizing.

Buy

Frankly, this concrete and glass building looks more like a tenement than a mansion, but it’s still a neat place to put your plants, providing you with a mini rooftop garden, even if you don’t live on the top floor. Measures just 3.9 x 4.7 x 4.7″

Home Entertainment Storage Bins

Home Entertainment Storage Bins
Buy

These storage bins cleverly disguise themselves as an old school home entertainment system, including speakers, analog clock and radio, and a good old CRT TV. Each canvas bin comes with a lid and is guaranteed not to play media.

LEGO Masters

LEGO Masters

Ad agency Geometry Global’s Hong Kong branch put together this series of classic artworks recreated using LEGO blocks. We had no idea that you could get bricks in so many subtle shades. We suspect they fudged things a bit.

Cable Tie Sculptures

Text Flip Clock

Text Flip Clock
Buy

This wide format tabletop clock uses the type of mechanism found in 1970s flip clocks, but tells time using words instead of digits. Measures a whopping 35″ wide x 7″ deep x 8 ” high. We only wish it were made from wood instead of plastic.

While it may take some time to get used to all four suits being printed in the same ink color, there’s no question that these playing cards are cool. These bright red cards are embellished on back with an equally sinister dragon.
