Elegoo Is Giving Away $1,000,000 (Eventually)
RAS2025-08-09T02:01:00+00:00Printables, Makerworld, Thangs, Thingiverse… There are a lot of places to look when you need a 3D model. Now Elegoo is adding one more with Nexprint. Of course one doesn’t simply launch a new platform and expect success. They need to fill it with quality models first. And to do that, they’ve launched a $1,000,000 fund to help jumpstart the repository. Here’s how it works: “Each month, we will invest in a reward pool to grant $5 to each...

Qualifiers Open For The Wahlap E-Sports Championship 2025
RAS2025-08-07T17:51:21+00:00eSports don’t belong just to the realm of PC gaming and Smash Bros – there is plenty of competition to be had among arcades. Wahlap is delivering that across China as they have begun qualifiers for their 16th annual Wahlap E-Sports Championship 2025 (WEC 2025 for short) event. Let’s take a deeper look. This is a sponsored post by one of our advertisers, Wahlap.
WEC 2025 – So Far
So far, Wahlap reports a staggering 650,000...A robotic hand with the dexterity to sign the whole ASL alphabet
RAS2025-08-07T17:08:03+00:00Arduino Team — August 7th, 2025 Even if we ignore intelligence, humans are able to speak when other animals — even other great apes — can’t, because of our specialized and complex vocal anatomy. Similarly, ASL (American Sign Language) wouldn’t be possible without our incredible hand and finger dexterity. Like any other complex physiological system, that is difficult to recreate artificially. But Kelvin Gonzalez was able to pull it off and build his Vulcan V3 robotic...

Cool Crowdfunding: Games, Gear, and Gem
RAS2025-08-07T16:00:00+00:00We receive so many pitches for crowdfunding projects. Since crowdfunding is a bit of a gamble, it is always hard to determine just how to write about these projects, considering that many of them may not ever deliver. Cool Crowdfunding is our way of sharing some of the ones that catch our eye and that we think readers should know about. Remember, some of the crowdfunding projects from our previous Cool Crowdfunding collections may still be active! Go back and check...

Bambu H2D vs Prusa Core One: Reviewed
RAS2025-08-06T15:00:00+00:00This article appeared in Make: Vol 94. Subscribe for more great reviews. While we normally review machines independently, these new flagship models — the Prusa Core One and the Bambu H2D — are hard not to compare against each other. Back in the good old days of Make:’s 3D printer testing, we put machines through a series of tests to quantify how well they worked. So I ran all the old test models with the H2D and...

Updated Arduino cores with ZephyrOS (beta)
RAS2025-08-06T12:14:27+00:00Last December we released our beta Arduino cores based on Zephyr. Today, we are excited to make another step in this beta program for Arduino cores based on Zephyr! ZephyrOS is an open-source, state-of-the-art, real-time operating system (RTOS) designed for low-power, resource-constrained devices. We are transitioning Arduino cores to ZephyrOS to ensure continued support and innovation for developers. This change follows Arm’s deprecation of MbedOS, which has historically powered some of our cores. By adopting ZephyrOS, we are...
Is your heating radiator working? This system uses edge AI to find out
RAS2025-08-05T19:32:22+00:00Arduino Team — August 5th, 2025 Heating isn’t just about comfort in very cold regions in the world, it is absolutely critical. If your home’s heat fails when you’re away, you might get back to find burst pipes. That’s especially problematic for large apartment buildings that rely on central boilers and radiators in the units. Manivannan’s Arduino-based edge solution leverages AI to detect those radiator failures and raise an alarm. When we talk about technology...

This inexpensive adapter brings Apple Universal Control to vintage Macs
RAS2025-08-04T23:52:56+00:00Arduino Team — August 5th, 2025 In the distant past of about two decades ago, one would need to use a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch to control multiple computers with the same mouse and keyboard — and even then, it would take a button press to move from one to the other. Today, Apple’s Universal Control feature lets users seamlessly interact with several Macs and iPads with a single mouse and keyboard. But that feature...

Luminary Geometry: LED Period-Tracking Lunar Calendar
RAS2025-08-04T20:00:00+00:00This article appeared in Make: Vol. 86. Subscribe for more maker projects and articles! This project manifested at the time of the overturning of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision in June 2022. As the news spread like wildfire, menstruating people worldwide were quickly advised to delete their period-tracking data from private apps and devices, to hide their period data from their doctors, and even their partners, to avoid future incrimination around the right...
