Welcome to our weekly roundup of the most interesting and captivating videos from around the web. Just like a vineyard, we’ve scoured the internet to bring you the freshest stories in video format. So sit back, relax, and get ready to be amazed by the world of 3D printing.
In our first video, we meet Michael Rivera, an assistant professor at the ATLAS Institute at the University of Colorado Boulder. He’s on a mission to find innovative ways to reuse coffee grounds, one of the most common waste products in our caffeinated world. Together with his team, they have developed a compostable and reusable 3D printing material made from coffee grounds. Not only does it reduce waste, but it also smells pretty good too!
Next up, we have a video by Teaching Tech that will excite anyone who loves Velcro. Have you ever wanted to print your own Velcro at home? Well, now you can! This video takes you through the entire process of producing Velcro, from understanding the science behind it to selecting the right materials. And if you’re eager to give it a try, there are even STL files available for you to start printing right away.
Sometimes, all you have is a basic glass cup. But don’t worry, in this video from CUBE3DWORLD, you’ll discover how to transform that simple cup into something truly unique. Using 3D printing, you can create innovative attachments that can turn your glass into a storage container, juicer, or even a toothbrush holder. It’s like having a Swiss army knife of glassware!
If you’re a vintage shutterbug, this next video is for you. The Film Laundry takes us on a journey with a 16mm ‘spy camera’ from the 1960s. The challenge with using classic cameras today is finding film and storage devices that may no longer be available. But thanks to 3D printing, our protagonist manages to create a new film cartridge and spindle, allowing the camera to capture photos once again. It’s a beautiful blend of old and new technology.
Last but not least, we join Adam Savage, the famed Mythbuster, as he visits a specialty costume maker studio called FBFX. In this video from Adam’s YouTube channel, Tested, we learn how costumes in the entertainment industry are evolving with the use of 3D full-body scanning and printing. This technology provides a much more accurate representation of the figure, with fewer defects or changes compared to traditional mold casting. Adam even gets to download an STL file of himself and print the most accurate replica yet!

Title: Unleashing Creativity: Embracing Unconventional Styles in Blog Writing
Introduction:
Welcome to a unique experiment in blog writing! In this unconventional approach to storytelling, I aim to present a well-known story with creative flair while keeping the story and its logic intact. Join me in this journey as we explore the endless possibilities of narrative expression.
Once upon a time in the digital realm:
In a bygone era, a young wordsmith embarked on a peculiar adventure. Armed with a keyboard instead of a sword, she sought to transform the modest act of crafting a blog post into something extraordinary. Cupping creativity in her palms, she unleashed her imagination, believing that words had the power to transcend the conventional boundaries of storytelling.
Riding the current of this audacious quest, she vowed to retell a familiar tale, not through traditional means, but by weaving sentences with unexpected flair, bending grammatical structures, and embracing a whimsical narrative style. Inspired by the banner of Creative Commons CC0, which encourages freedom of expression, she dared to experiment, bending the rules while keeping the essence of the story intact.
The Story of Persistence:
Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a boy named Jack. He inhabited a world where beans were magical, transforming simple gardeners into prosperous dreamers overnight. Determined to change the course of his life, Jack embarked on a perilous journey up a towering beanstalk. Little did he know that adventure awaited him at the top—an enormous castle floating amidst the clouds.
As Jack climbed higher and higher, his determination soared, mirroring the velocity of his ascent on this colossal leafy structure. Up, up, up he went, gasping for breath, his heart pounding against his ribcage like a rambunctious wild creature seeking escape. His unwavering persistence was parallel to the intensity of the fluttering butterflies that danced in his stomach, their delicate wings tinged with anticipation.
Upon reaching the heavens, Jack found himself face to face with a gargantuan giant who ruled the castle—a colossus so colossal that his very presence shattered the silence around him. Boldly, Jack tiptoed through the colossal corridors, concealing himself skillfully behind curtains and seemingly insignificant objects, avoiding the slightest sound that could awaken the slumbering beast. Each step was a thrill, a form of ballet in which silence became the conductor, and suspense the performer.
With his heart hammering in his chest, fusing determination and fear into a kaleidoscope of emotions, Jack reached the heart of the giant’s domain—a room strewn with glittering treasures, a testament to the giant’s unrestrained opulence. No walls could contain Jack’s mounting excitement; his mind raced with possibilities as he formulated a cunning plan to claim his share of the wealth.
The Conclusion:
And so, dear reader, the story concludes as it always has—an audacious adventurer, armed not with the conventional weapons of knights or heroes, but with persistence and an unwavering belief in himself. Although it may have unfolded differently, the essence of the tale—of defying odds and discovering one’s inner strength—remains intact.
Innovative expressions of creativity, just like this peculiar retelling of a familiar tale, remind us to break free from the shackles of convention. They remind us that the boundaries of storytelling can be stretched, expanded, and reimagined, while still keeping the narrative’s logic and essence grounded. Let us celebrate the freedom granted by Creative Commons CC0, empowering us all to unleash our own creative potential and write stories as distinct and captivating as our imaginations allow.
