• 3D Printed Bikini

  yay! on make 🙂

  These ladies have got it: combine form and function in one 3D file, and print out an entire bathing suit! It’s made from flexible nylon12 cured with an SLS process. I love hearing ladies talk about circle-fill algorithms. If you do too, don’t miss the video with designers Jenna Fizel and Mary Haung. It’s probably crazy expensive to make, but I can’t help but want one to try out at the beach this summer. I wonder what kind of tan lines the “textile” pattern would make.

  

  

• Rulers of Mexico
  

  A little Mexican history for you this time, which I have promised to a lady named Beatriz for some time. Hello, Beatriz!

  In the regular world, Maximilian would be a bad guy, but you really want to like the fella. As far as puppet rulers go, he may be in a club of his own for wanting to do a good job. If you want your country run by Don Quixote that is.

  Juarez is a similarly tough nut to crack, but I suppose coming from Poverty to President and trying to save your country from a European takeover will make a man a bit serious about the whole thing.

  Maybe together they could have governed the country like some sort of ultimate odd couple.

  In totally unrelated news, there’s a new shirt in the store! It’s babies babies babies babies. This shirt is especially handy for everyone you know.

  

  Babies for summer, all summer!

  I love Cyriak Harris. His animations are amazing, and funny, and weird, and frequently distressing, and make my brain hurt.

  This one is no exception:

  So cool. Cyriak’s a flippin’ genius and we should be throwing accolades and money and little pickles at him.

  Tip o’ the Power of Ten to Boing Boing and JHGRedekop.
