MP Select Mini 3D Printer V2

Too often, getting a low-cost 3D printer means getting a box of ill-fitted parts with poorly written and incomplete documentation. You end up spending hours on the internet, searching forums and asking for help to get the printer assembled and operating properly.

That isn’t how Monoprice operates and this 3D printer is a perfect example! This printer not only comes fully assembled, it has already been calibrated at the factory. All you have to do is perform a quick check to verify that the print bed is still leveled, in case it shifted during shipping, then load the included microSD™ card, load some filament, and start printing the preloaded model. Nowhere else will you find a 3D printer ready to print out of the box at such a low price!

Mizusion Saltwater-powered LED Lantern

Hurricanes, earthquakes, elected officials—there are plenty of legitimate reasons to prepare for the end of civilization as we know it, and if the world’s supply of batteries ever runs out, you’ll be glad you had this emergency LED lamp tucked away in your doomsday shelter.

Instead of trying to dig up a fresh pair of AAs when the power goes out, all that’s needed to power Hitachi Maxell’s Mizusion lamp for about three days is a mix of salt and water. The ingredients work alongside oxygen in the air and a replaceable magnesium “power bar” to create positive and negative electrodes, which in turn generates electricity.

Cardroid

What is CarDroid?

CarDroid is an automotive device made to protect you and the people you care about. It’s a complex multifunctional solution running Android™ OS. The device is connected to a cloud-based platform for data storage and visualization. CarDroid is an all-sufficient computer which analyzes vehicle data and driver’s behavior and sends the information to a personal cloud account.

Life is a chain of random events and sooner or later you realize that you can not control every single thing in it. Nowadays a lot of accidents happen on the road and we think that if we can not prevent these accidents, we should at least find a way to be aware of it in case something bad happens to the people we love. That’s why we created CarDroid.

Midnight Scoop

Designed by an aerospace engineer, the ingenious Midnight Scoop is a clever solution to an annoying problem – scooping rock hard ice cream. The idea comes from the simple realization that a scoop should function like a shovel, with a more effective pushing motion powered by the user´s arm and chest muscles, instead of the weaker ones in your wrist. Hot-forged from solid aerospace grade aluminum the elegant utensil features both an ergonomic handle and pointed blade, and is also designed to conduct heat and create the perfect scoop without melting even the hardest ice creams.

Additionally, the plug works with Nest “Home” and “Away” statuses, the SmartThings platform, and the Wink app as well as Amazon Echo.
