3D Printing - Startup Digest - Happy Memorial Day! - May 26th - June 2nd

Startup Digest

3D Printing

May 26, 2017

Yo!

Memorial Day is coming up -- if you are in the U.S.

I've been hunting for some incredible documentaries (my favorite genre of media) lately, so if you know of any, feel free to send them my way.

I've been busy with the AstroBox Touch kickstarter lately, and the whole thing is scheduled to end in a few weeks.

Other than that, nothing much going on in my world.

Anything new in your world? 

Let me know.

Today's digest is super light. 

Enjoy!

Until next time, my friend,

Fidget Spinner Design

Thingiverse - thingiverse.com

So, I finally bit the bullet on the fidget spinner craze that's sweeping through the United States/World. Turns out, Walmart & Toys R Us are AIRLIFTING these things from china to maintain demand. Millions of units are expected to be sold this year.

Anyway, the cool thing is, as long as you buy some cheap bearings from china, you can 3D Print the fidget spinner itself.

Just in case you need an idea, this is the design I use.

Interesting. Although, if the stolen CAD Model is a simple household object (as opposed to a mission critical part) like a smartphone holder, I am not sure if I would care about the object being low quality.

While you should make up your own mind about about, the pessimism on this Reddit thread is entertaining.
