It’s a similar idea as L’Oréal’s My Skin Track UV sensor, but the $299 (discounted to $199 at launch) Gem smart jewelry wearable from The90 is a more stylish alternative.

Still not convinced you need a 3D printer? If you head on over to Printables you’ll find all the model files and instructions you’ll need to turn a standard garden hose nozzle into Curt Turner’s sprayser; a detailed Star Trek phaser replica for blasting begonias instead of the Borg.

As part of giving its Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster attraction at Hollywood Studios a Muppets makeover (goodbye, Aerosmith) Walt Disney World imagineers created an audio-animatronic version of Scooter. To ensure the robot moved like a puppet they used a motion capture studio to record the actual Muppets’ movements performed by a puppeteer.
