Angela, the double haloed flying machine

Faire: Rome

Maker: Paz Nilsen

Home: Italy

This is a personal flying machine. It began as a concept of a flying bike but now it is more like a street luge with wings. If you were at Makerfaire 2022 in Rome, maybe you saw it looking more like a bicycle. This is the latest version. With motors and props, ready to take to the sky. It uses ground effect and will cruise for 6-7 minutes with it's onboard battery. You will NOT need a license to operate this safely. I have made it with the Maker in Mind. 100% open source and hardware.

aWear & The Feedback Loop

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Chase Anderson

Home: California, United States

Wearable technology offers some real benefits when it comes to interactive feedback. Whether for the allures of health or enhancing communication, these devices can track data continuously, giving you real-time insights. I’ve been diving into this space with two key projects. First is aWear, an open-source wearable cardiac monitor, and second is The Feedback Loop, an interactive game designed to teach about homeostasis. Both of these projects reflect my growing passion for combining hardware and biomedical technology, and they’re just the beginning. I’m always excited to chat about hardware and biomedical technology, so feel free to check out my website to see more of what I’ve been working on!

Hyperbolic paraboloid wind-proof Rain and Shade cover

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: TomSawyerLabs

Home: California, United States

Do you need a shade structure for a BIG project, event, or Burningman camp? This is a do-it-yourself project that any group can make out of off-the-shelf components. The Hyperbolic paraboloid "saddle" shape is easy to achieve and has special properties. A 40’ square flat tarp could be a disaster in windy conditions. The uplift force is enough to lift the whole tarp and slam it back down. But the downward corners of the saddle prevent this from happening. If it rains, all of the water is directed to these same two low points.

Mass Customization with 3D printed systems

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Ken Wronkiewicz

Home: California, United States

It may be tempting to 3D print the same thing again and again, but it is cheaper and faster to make the same thing using molding techniques. In order to really use the unique advantages of 3D printing, printed objects should be unique. They should be customized to an person or small group of people's needs. At the same time, getting good at CAD isn't easy. However, there are physical systems, generated by code or parametric modeling, that work with 3D printing's core advantages and are easier to use. I'd like to show off some of the community-generated systems for organization that take advantage of this mass customization such as the Honeycomb Storage Wall and the Gridfinity system, along with metal extrusions, as an example of how to take advantage of 3D printing's unique advantages
