With your positively overwhelming response to our 3D car printing post, we thought you might like another 3D story. While this one might not be as grandiose as printing a car, it’s creatively entertaining nonetheless. This time it’s a bowtie. Not any bowtie, but a 3D printed one that’s designed to alert a person you might be talking to with a series of flashing LEDs that they have come just too close for comfort for a little too long.

As the lyrics “between a rock and a hard place,” from a famous Rolling Stones song or perhaps words from Ancient Greek mythology roll around in my head, it seems the best way to describe the size of this new little portable wireless speaker is as being right between a golf and tennis ball.

When we imagine rugged and waterproof, the first thing that comes to mind is that it’s practical, i.e., ugly and bulky, so accessories manufacturer, Seidio, has set out to debunk that myth.

A new Kickstarter project designed to bring a legendary 19th century camera lens back to life has already got a real boost, having raised $1.13 million U.S. in just over a week. The kicker, pardon the pun, is that the funders were originally looking for backers to pledge $100,000, an amount that they reached within a matter of a few hours. And with already over 2,700 backers, it certainly sounds like there’s a new demand for this oldie but goodie technology.
