Important news about HackSpace

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.

Flowers and fabric

By Andrew Gregory. Posted

It’s probably just as accurate to describe this as 3D-printed knitting as it is to call it chain-mail, but mail sounds cooler, so that’s what we’re going with. Thingiverse user Tim Heilmann calls this Fabric of Thyme 2.0. We call it witchcraft: the links are formed as part of the print so, as soon as you peel it off the print bed, you’ve got a small square of plastic chain-mail.

Tim’s design comes in various sizes, and he’s also created connectors so that you can sew patches together. Because the fabric is mostly air, it makes a good insulator and it’s highly flexible; though we’re not sure whether it’ll protect you from cave trolls.

Vase

Flowers are pretty, everyone knows that. Instead of putting them in a manky old pot that’s been hanging around in the garage, here’s a 3D-printed vase that brings a modern mathematical-inspired look, and which you can customise to whatever colour you can print.

This vase, created by Alexey Grishchenko, is a modified version of an existing design, changed to make the base bigger, and move the centre of gravity further down.
