The Home 3-D Printer Is More Real Than Ever--And Costs As Much As An iPad Solidoodle is a new effort from a former COO of MakerBot, Samuel Cervantes, aiming to bring the 3-D printer within reach of the average consumer with a price tag under $500. But it's not the only project in its class, and with at least a couple more systems on the way it's likely that 3-D printing will happen in your home sooner rather than later. MakerBot itself is already famous for selling affordable 3-D printers that work with extruded plastic, and the firm's recent two-color extruder model is really pushing the boundaries of the tech. The thing is, the assembled MakerBots tend to be expensive, and though many a hobbyist may be tempted to purchase a home-assembly kit to save money (after all, that's how the iconic Apple I and ZX81 home computers were originally sold) the average consumer is almost never going to buy a semi-complete kit. Which is where Solidoodle comes in. Best of all, Solidoodle actually looks like a finished consumer product, and has been engineered to be rugged.

The Rise Of The Niche Social Network ⚙ Co The option to share Instagram photos on Facebook and Twitter is both a blessing and a curse. When I want to share a photo that’s particularly special with my Facebook friends who aren’t on Instagram (i.e., my grandma), I can do so. When I want to share a photo that’s particularly witty on Twitter, I can do so. Giant Social Networks: Where Intellect Goes to Die On the big social sites, a person’s network is often so big that there’s no real sense of community. When your feeds are drenched in a constant stream of mixed messages, it’s overwhelming. The most frustrating part of the whole social giant oversaturation thing is that young people are typifying the generalized negative qualities of our generation. But I think there’s an antidote. How Niche Networks are Bringing Community (and Meaning and Insight) Back When Quora went public in 2010, it set the stage for hyper-focused social networking by implementing a single purpose: Q&As. Path is another new social network of note.

CHROMiX - Color Management, Custom ICC Profiles, ColorSync Leica User Forum - Leica Forum Kaiser Fototechnik - Welcome Richard Franiec's Camera Accessories Your internal flash will work without removing the Custom Hot Shoe Cover, so the only time you'll take it off is to use an external flash, and high-tolerance machining ensures it won't slip out on its own. In place, it protects the camera's flash contacts from rain and dirt, eliminates snagging when you pull the camera from your pocket, and it simply looks good. Tip: It is small, so when you take it off, make it a habit to put it in the same place every time, whether that's your left front pants pocket or a pocket on your camera bag. You can read this DPreview post for more opinions. This hot shoe cover also fits the LX5, in case you ever lose the one that comes with the camera. This adapter is beautifully machined from Delrin and uses the camera's hot shoe cover as a solid base for the mechanical cable release. This adapter also fits the LX5. Note that a cable release is not included, so you can buy the length(s) you need or use one you already own.
