A maker project called CubeRaman uses a 3D-printed housing and a 532-nm laser to build a low-cost Raman spectrometer; while the design is more accessible, it still relies on an external spectrometer and faces challenges like stray-light suppression and alignment, with early tests successfully detecting Raman shifts in a raw diamond.
Hackaday covers a Printables project that packs a Mini-ITX motherboard, a small-form-factor PSU, and a full discrete GPU into a 3D-printed case the size of a Steam Machine, done with AMD's Jacob Terkelsen. The build highlights Valve's Steam Machine cooling differences, suggests adding ventilation, and notes thermal and performance questions as real-world thermals and gaming benchmarks remain to be seen.
A hobbyist built a Cyberpunk-inspired jacket with four flexible OLED panels mounted in the collar, driven by two Raspberry Pi 4s (two screens per Pi) using a GPIO-based sync, all housed in a 3D-printed frame to protect the displays; the result recreates the game’s jacket look and demonstrates wearable multi-display tech, though it remains a prototype rather than practical mass-market gear.
A maker project by Karsten Mueller uses a circular display, an ESP32-S3, and a 3D-printed case to show a locally accurate moon phase that accounts for your time and location, with NASA imagery as an optional source; the project is documented in German and English on Hackaday.io and the code is available on GitHub.
A replica Bugatti Veyron with a bespoke chassis and a 3D-printed engine cover resembling the W16 engine has surfaced, featuring a twin-turbo 4.2-liter V8 from an Audi RS6. While it incorporates an original cracked Veyron windshield, the interior lacks the luxury of the genuine model, with hard plastics and components from Audi vehicles. Despite some downsides, the seven-year, one-man effort is valued at $190,000, prompting comparisons to the price of a genuine supercar like the Audi R8.
