We have some important news to share about HackSpace: Issue 81 was the last issue of HackSpace as a standalone magazine, and HackSpace has become part of The MagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine. Starting with issue 145, We’ll be adding pages to The MagPi to make room for the stories and tutorials you’ve come to expect from HackSpace.

If you’ve ever spent ages fiddling with your printer’s settings, only for it to produce blobs of useless plastic, you should be suitably impressed with this 3D-printed lathe, built by Harrison Freedman while he was still at high school.
Impatient with the wait of sending robotics parts away to be machined, and with his school unwilling to let students loose on a full-size lathe, he did the sensible thing and made his own miniature one. It uses a 12 V DC motor, some aluminium framing, and 6mm stainless steel shafting, and cost around $200 to make.
