Hackaday highlights CageMaker, a parametric OpenSCAD script from WebMaka that designs mounts for rack-mable gear, enabling easy 3D-printed adapters to tidy up desks or labs; a browser-based version is available, continuing the site’s coverage of practical, hands-on hardware hacks.
A hardware hacker built Orbigator, a transparent globe that rotates to show the International Space Station’s real-time position, inspired by Will Dana’s 2025 ISS-tracking lamp. The device uses a clear globe with an internal mechanism to avoid wiring clutter, and the project is documented with open-source files: 3D-printed parts via OpenSCAD, firmware in MicroPython for the Raspberry Pi Pico 2, and a KiCad PCB design. The work, which includes contributions from Anool Mahidharia, is all available on the project’s GitHub. For folks who want something simpler, a pan-and-tilt security camera can offer a more approachable alternative.
