Dental crown getting milled on a dual-spindle 4-axis mini CNC. The material is zirconium dioxide and gets baked at 1500C as the last step. Watching the dentist nudge the design auto-generated from a 3D scan was super cool too.

Ai has effectively killed Fiver 💥 But we saw that coming and that is why we created our product. Ai might be killing off a huge portion of industry, but what it can’t take are your operating machines or you the operators! Want to make a side hustle? 💰💵 Or is it full time with a printing factory? Or maybe you’re a steel fabricator? Or a wood burner or laser etcher? Maybe you make Cosplay full time? The lists are endless.

Your 3D printer, laser, or CNC is sitting idle right now. What if those machines started earning while you sleep? The Spool List matches buyers who need custom physical objects with makers who own the exact machines to make them. Buyers pay the maker’s quote with zero platform fee. Funds are authorised up front and only captured when the buyer confirms delivery. One network covers 18 fabrication disciplines. Machine-first matching, not keyword bios. Turn idle machine time into paid work → thespoollist.com

Song Xingyu, a self-taught Gen Z vlogger from Badong in China's Hubei province who posts as Shenqi Ayu, has built a rideable hoverboard inspired by the Green Goblin's glider in Spider-Man and flown it across the Yangtze River. After his first five-turbojet prototype caught fire, he rebuilt it around ten brushless electric units with more than 30 kg of thrust each, and trained on it with an AI posture coach made from two phones.

What if a gear could change its angle while staying perfectly meshed? ⚙️🤯 Mishin Machine demonstrates a 3D-printed variable-angle gear joint with a 180° tilt range and a trochoidal tooth profile designed to maintain engagement throughout movement. Printed on a @formlabs Form 4 using Rigid 10K Resin and Clear V5 Resin, the mechanism is driven by a @cubemars_motor AK45-10 actuator. Could this type of mechanism unlock new possibilities in robotic joints and compact motion systems? 🏢 Company: Mishin Machine 🎥 Media: mishinmachine ( Instagram ) ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.
