Inspired by our coverage here on MAKE of flower-pot cooker/smokers, Nigel Vezeau (Ottawa, Canada) created this lovely “Little Blue Egg, a Big Green Egg knockoff. He used two big flower pots, an Ikea table, and a few other scrounged bits and pieces. About six months ago I was at a friend’s place jamming, hanging out, generally having a good time

The goal of this project is to address the following two problems in the world of STM: Problem 1: The Scanning-Tunneling Electron Microscope, capable of resolving individual atoms, is so elegant a device that it won the 1986 Nobel Prize in physics

[The image above is the same board produced using Visolate, regular routing, and PCB etching] Here’s a neat PCB routing tool, called Visolate , that uses Voronoi diagrams to minimize the number of tool cuts that are needed to cut out a circuit board. As long as you aren’t depending on specific trace dimensions to make your circuit work, it looks like it makes really pretty boards! [via metalab ] Cutting the Voronoi boundaries has both advantages and disadvantages. Compared with boundary tracing, the Voronoi method produces only one cut instead of two to separate traces
