Engineer who made USB-C iPhone now makes AirPods Pro repair possible

Pilonnel noticed that millions watch his videos, but very few actually attempt them. He wants to help people by making replacement parts available.

Users of Apple’s AirPods are well aware that the product they purchased is pretty much disposable. Once the rechargeable battery on the device gives way, there is no way to replace them; you need to buy new AirPods, unless you are ready to do the hard work yourself, with a little help, of course.

Ken Pillonel is no stranger to toying with Apple products. As an engineering student, he built the world’s first iPhone with a USB-C port and has previously shown us how the batteries in the AirPods can be replaced if you can 3D-print a new case.

Exploring the Simulation/YouTube.

The best part of Pillonel’s mods is that everything is published in GitHub repositories, and one only needs to spend some time going through the notes to get the desired changes.

A couple just moved into a 3D printed concrete home for about $1,400 a month— see what it’s like to live in

I have said 3D printed houses could help with the housing crisis.

“Project Milestone serves as the world’s first 3D printed concrete “commercial housing project,” according to its maker.”

But not according to ICON 3D, and the link below shows Africa’s largest 3D printing housing project in Kenya. I have been talking about 3D printed houses for years. Its good people have caught up.

20 Emerging Technologies That Will Change Our World

Technology has already changed our world. I mean, who knew that we’d be able to flick a switch to illuminate the darkness rather than lighting a candle? It’s wild. But the technology we have today and will have in the future is absolutely insane. From 3D printing houses to robotics to help us in our jobs, here are 20 emerging technologies that will change our world.

The Insane Engineering behind the Joby S4

Joby makes EVTOL vehicles intended for small trips like Austin to Houston. A year ago they were the first EVTOL company to complete a 150 mile all electric flight. Check out this video to see the engineering innvolved.

In July of 2021, this aircraft achieved what many thought impossible with today’s battery technology. It completed the longest, all-electric, vertical takeoff and landing flight. The Joby S4 is the result of more than 13 years of engineering and innovation. Joby Aviation’s ambitious goal is to make affordable air travel between places like Houston and Austin, or Los Angeles and San Diego an everyday reality.
However, to be allowed to operate in urban areas, Joby had to develop an aircraft that is quieter than helicopters, as safe as commercial airliners, and cost-effective for mass adoption. More than 250 evtol companies worldwide are working to make Urban Air Mobility a reality, and Joby Aviation is the indisputable leader. In this video, I will explore the three key design elements that make the S4 technically impressive and unique. This is the engineering behind the Joby S4.

Texas-based 3D printing company teaming up with NASA to put buildings on the moon

Through a $57 million contract with NASA, ICON, a company out of Austin, is working to do just that. ICON wants to put a broad spectrum of infrastructure on the moon, which isn’t the easiest place to build.

“First of all, you need to be able to protect the astronauts from the lunar environment which is really a nasty place to live and work. Vacuumed environment, extreme temperature swings, radiation environment, micro-meteoroids, dust protection,” Clinton said. “To produce things like landing pads and roads and blast shields and shelters and habitats.”

Clinton says ICON will now work to build a 3D printing robotic arm that will be sent to the moon to do the construction but can be controlled from Earth.

Bionic 3rd thumb: The future of human augmentation | Hard Reset

We flew to the UK to learn more about the designer 3D-printing third thumbs. Is this the dawn of human body augmentation?

Watch the Hard Reset series ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXthoedLVIdLvnNgiCshQvqKdS7T_qeGY

Motorized prosthetics are nothing new. But what about artificial body parts that don’t replace missing ones, but instead provide us with extended capabilities, while also revealing insights into the relationship between brain and body?

That’s the main research focus of augmentation designer Dani Clode, who developed the Third Thumb, a 3D-printed extension for your hand that is controlled by your toes.

Through collaborative neuroscientific research with The Plasticity Lab at University College London & Cambridge University, Clode and her colleagues hope to better understand how the brain adapts to augmentation, learn more about the limits of neuroplasticity, and explore how to best utilize it to improve the control and usability of prosthetics and augmentative devices.

A new approach for the 3D printing of hydrogel-based electronics

Hydrogels are three-dimensional (3D) polymer networks that do not dissolve in water but retain large amounts of liquids. Due to this advantageous property, hydrogels are particularly promising material platforms for both biomedical and environmental applications, as they can survive in bodily fluids or in wet natural environments without dissipating.

Over the past decade, engineers and materials scientists have been developing numerous based on soft hydrogels, including environmental and biomedical sensors, drug delivery devices, and artificial tissue. Despite the huge potential of these -based devices, their widespread implementation has so far been hindered by their high production costs.

A research team led by Dr. Nanjia Zhou at Westlake University and Westlake Institute of Advanced Studies in China have recently introduced a new strategy to enable the 3D printing of soft hydrogel electronics. Their approach, introduced in a paper published in Nature Electronics, could help to lower the production costs of numerous hydrogel-based devices, including strain sensors, inductors, and biological electrodes.
