It's a craft takeover with a tech twist! Technology doesn’t just make new gadgets possible, it’s also transforming traditional crafts of all kinds. In this issue, we celebrate the fusion of tech and craft in the spirit of our companion magazine Craft: (2006–2009). In our cover project, try out bargello embroidery and build your own glowy mini bag, powered by 3D printing and the Pixelblaze LED controller. Follow artist Kenny Sing as he uses digital design and fabrication to create stunning contemporary ceramics. Forge a knife, sew an inflatable costume, and give wood projects a deep, charred finish with the Japanese technique yakisugi. Or learn 18th-century paper quilling and then light it up with LEDs!
Plus 23 projects, including
Make a unique analog synthesizer by hacking a cheap cassette tape player
Build OpenCAL, the world’s first layerless, all-at-once 3D printer
Tell stories with moving lenticular images
Bedazzle a denim jean jacket with light-up flowers

Helps us keep automated scrapers from hammering the filehosts.
For those who may have missed recent events: the switch to premium-only links on Nitroflare was not a decision made by the site administration or the post uploaders. This change was implemented by the file hosting service itself.
We know many of our regular users still use Nitroflare and have active subscriptions, so we won't be removing it. However, we do plan to update our posting rules for uploaders in the near future to better adapt to the situation.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
