monomateriality

Project by Vimal Patel creates a handheld 3D printer using only a glue gun and a filament dispenser made with LEGO:

For a university project, we were provided with biodegradable 3D printing filament and asked to make stuff with it. The intention is to explore ways of making products solely with this filament (monomateriality), so that both making and recycling things can be simple.

Our university workspace has multiple UP 3D printers, so it made sense to begin there … experiments showed that variable stiffness was possible, even on inexpensive 3D printers. Nevertheless, it was clear that the layer-by-layer deposition of material constrained the plane of flexibility to a single axis which made it difficult to make complex shapes (like a helmet). The ideal situation would be to extrude material along a path in multiple axes (i.e., with a robotic arm). This is a damned difficult thing to model and program, so I sought a simpler way. What I did was build an extruder using Lego, and attached it to a hot glue gun …

VW SP 2, 1971-76. Made by Karmann Ghia do Brasil. Via volkswagen classic

Rudolf Leiding, the CEO of Volkswagen do Brasil initiated and designed the car. Despite its racy looks the model was targeting women, so his wife was the test person, optimising the car for a female driver. It was based on the old VW technology and never exported to Europe, mainly because the VW Scirocco was a successful launch there. Until 1976 around 10,000 were built. Helga Leiding took one of the SP2 back home to Germany.

i’m so invested in toronto’s mystery tunnel story. after a month of fruitless investigating and a week-long public appeal from the police, two anonymous guys have admitted to building the whole thing for funsies. that’s it, no big deal. just guys being dudes. they just dug a 30-foot tunnel for personal reasons. case closed. amazing.
