  • Relio² is a second-gen light cube that comes with 3D-printable accessories

    In 2014 Relio was among the first to launch an ultra-portable cube-shaped LED light. Now, the company has unveiled an updated version of its original product, the Relio². Like the original, the new model is designed and manufactured in Italy and comes in a wide range of calibrated colors.

    The company says its light offer ‘extreme color fidelity’ (up to 98% native TLCI) and let’s you download spectral data for its lights, making them an interesting option for any color-critical lighting applications.

    The Relio² also looks like a good ‘base light’ for anyone requiring a customized light solution. Relio says the internal electronics are programmable and hackable. The light is controlled via Bluetooth or can be interfaced with lab-gear, such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi components.

    In addition a range of optional magnets, rods, bolts and anti-skid pads let you customize your light-setups in a many ways. For even more flexibility Relio also offers to download models of 3D-printable accessories, including a diffuser and barn doors, free of charge.

    Prices start at approximately $ 180 (159 Euros) for a light unit. More information, including spectral data and detailed specs, can be found on the Relio website.

  • 3D-Printable Connectors Make DIY Furniture Assembly Easy

    [ By WebUrbanist in Design & Furniture & Decor. ]

    Leveraging the best features of available 3D printers and the materials they can print, this kit-of-parts approach opens up an amazing array of possibilities for do-it-yourself furniture construction.

    Studio Minale-Maeda presented their Keystones system at Milan, using elegantly simple table and coat rack designs to show off the potential of this connective system.

    Their core idea is that the larger wooden pieces can be flat-packed more easily for shipping. Customers can then complete the assembly process using included or locally-printed pieces. Still, the potential of this approach goes well beyond that system as such.

    There is really no reason to limit the process to a ship-and-print combination. With a similar but open-source variant, would-be buyers could take off-the-shelf dimensional lumber and construct their own furniture effectively from scratch. Perhaps unintentionally, the simple and standardized shapes of the components shown here already suggest such potential implicitly – at most a few cuts would be needed for the table, if even that.

    Regardless, the solution-as-presented is quite crafty, whatever its potential future might be – it leverages the strengths of 3D-printed plastic (rigidity with flexibility), uses strong triangular shapes for structural support (like trusses) and requires only the most basic tool to tighten the finished product (a screwdriver).
