    Joy And Mayhem at Maker Faire Bay Area - Make: (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Putting on an event like Maker Faire Bay Area isn’t for the timid; imagine throwing a wedding with 20,000+ guests. 20 years later we’re still doing it. If you’re wondering why (and you’d be forgiven for it), the answer is in the excited faces of attendees and in the people who make it possible. On opening day 2026, we saw fantastic turnout from makers old and new bring excitement and enthusiasm that well exceeded physician-recommended levels. Of the 300+ exhibits on Friday, here’re a few among t

    Star Wars Mouse Droid is a Rebel Rave Machine - Make: (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Mouse Droid is the colloquial name for MSE-6, a small robot in the original Star Wars movie that looks a little like a toaster on wheels. Sabine Wren is a character from the show Star Wars Rebels who’s a prolific graffiti artist. Cass (the Canadian maker behind Chaos Theory) is clearly a fan of both eras of the franchise, and wasn’t afraid to ask the important questions. What if an Imperial Mouse Droid got a makeover from Sabine Wren? To find out the hard way, she built an open-source, fully aut

    Snapmaker Launches 3D Printing Repository With a Purpose - Make: (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Where do you look for models to 3D print? Assuming you aren’t designing your own all the time, that is. It’s a question we asked a while ago (Bambu launched their own platform shortly after). And now there are even multiple sites promising to generate a perfect, 3D-printable model on demand. It seems an increasingly crowded space to launch a new platform into. But it seems Snapmaker isn’t one to back down from a challenge. Today, Snapmaker announced the open beta of Snapmaker Space. They’ve buil

    Tour the Hidden Worlds of ILM - Make: (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The corridors of Industrial Light & Magic are filled with examples of their work from iconic movies like Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and Terminator 2. So a poster of Darth Vader recruiting for the evil imperial army doesn’t draw too much attention, even though it stretches from floor to ceiling. And that’s just the point. Slide behind the poster when no-one’s looking, and you’re in a secret Rebel Hideout built behind enemy lines. Stepping into the Hideout feels like stepping right into a Star Wars

    Petoi Quaddle, a Robotic Pet for Everyone - Make: (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Petoi’s entry-level pet robots have been entertaining us ever since the plywood Nybble graced the cover of Make: Volume 70. And the more recent Bittle X and Nybble Q are some of the most charming robots I’ve had the pleasure of holding in my hand. Now Petoi has launched Quaddle, a new model that’s smarter and even more accessible than before. Quaddle comes in three versions: Builder, Buddy, and Scout. Each model has traded a plastic face for an OLED screen that’s capable of more nuanced expressi
