3D-Printed Electric Turbofan Model
CADLY poured months of design effort into creating an electric turbofan model that anyone can produce at home. Files sit ready for download from the maker’s own site or the Printables page, and a standard 3D printer handles every major piece. The finished unit draws direct inspiration from the CFM56 engines found on Airbus A320 airliners, yet it runs on basic electronics and a small motor instead of jet fuel.

Evoluto 355 Ferrari F355 Restomod Top Gear Test Drive
Ferrari built the F355 in the 1990s as a pure driver’s machine with a screaming V8 and timeless lines. Evoluto took that foundation and refined every inch without losing the original character. The result sits ready for a short list of owners who want analog excitement tuned for today. Development stretched across years of careful work. Engineers started with a donor F355 and validated every factory specification before touching a single part.

Alex Automated Shelf Storage Robot
Digital claw machines let you grab virtual prizes with a few clicks, yet real garages still demand ladders, stretching, and sore backs every time something sits on a high shelf. Alex of Hobby Built decided to change that equation in his basement workshop. He designed and built a three-axis gantry robot that retrieves and returns any one of 24 heavy storage totes with nothing more than a tap on a screen.

NASA Curiosity Rover Mars Arm Stuck Rock
NASA’s Curiosity had spent years gradually ascending the slopes of Mount Sharp inside Gale Crater. On April 25, the rover drilled into a rock known as Atacama, which was about a foot and a half across and six inches thick, weighing over thirty pounds. The drill sank in neatly enough to collect the sample the scientists need. The rover then pulled its arm back. The entire rock came with it.

ASUS ROG Strix XG129C 12.3" Touchscreen
Gamers who are used to juggling several windows and controls in their games understand the need of keeping their workspace neat, but they may not always know how to fit everything in. ASUS has developed the ROG Strix XG129C, a tiny assist screen built specifically for congested workspaces. At 12.3 inches, it fits nicely beneath most main monitors and provides just enough extra area to keep everything visible, saving you from the headache of constantly switching screens.

CARA 2.0 Better Robot Dog Project
Aaed Musa has spent years poring over his work on robot dogs, experimenting with one project after another. For his senior design project in mechanical engineering, he assembled a small team to build CARA 2.0, a machine that travels far more smoothly and reliably than anything he has previously created. The team set some rather tough goals: keep the entire cost around $1,000, keep the weight under twenty pounds, and ensure that every single component was engineered to withstand repeated use without breaking apart.
