This week’s Hackaday podcast is a European affair again, as Elliot Williams is joined by Jenny List on a summer evening to review the week. And we have a feast of hacks for your delectation.
As the title above says, one of the stand-out hacks this week was a set of airless mountain bike tyres 3D printed in glorious fluorescent TPU. They look as though they shouldn’t work but in fact they showed real promise, and we discuss the process behind their design. Then we take a look at a hybrid of a UV printer and an SLA 3D printer, capable of making high-resolution and robust 3D prints. The prospect of new Amigas intrigues us for a while, then carbon-fibre fabric in 3D prints.
Finally we’re in awe of the tech behind the Las Vegas Sphere, and we’re there for some radio at the Danish BornHack hacker camp. Follow that one up and you’ll find a bonus, an unofficial extra Hackaday podcast.
All the usual links are below, but before you head on down to have a listen, don’t forget we’ve got a mailbag for the podcast and we’d love to hear from you!

Quick Hacks:
- Elliot’s Picks:
- Jenny’s Picks:

Just listening to the youtube version, and the quick hacks section has both Elliot and Jenny simultaneously going through the hacks and doing their best to over talk each other.
It does the same on the podcast version
It’s on the audio feed as well.
Ack! Will try to fix.
Audacity changed the way that it aligns tracks when you cut them, and I sometimes forget to double-check that it hasn’t shot me in the foot.
Fixed, and uploading!
I thought I was having an aneurysm
While listening on the speakers, all my old and broken tech started to levitate. Please put back the original record.
Hornbach is actually a German Hardware Store and even the one on my 150k City has by far the best Small Parts section of all the Hardware Stores. And a whole plethora of Imperial metal and even plastic screws nuts & bolts. Makers Paradise!
RSS feed doesn’t contains the new episode.
Still not there…
Very strange. It works for me.
Now it works.
comment about 2d to 3d. my degrees is partly in design and back then to simulate a case we used cardboard. I think blender has a plugin. square boxes where ok but getting a curved surface was an art. maybe jenny could do an article. would be a change for Printaday?
Hah! Printaday. We are hardly to blame for the 3DP revolution.
But it’s funny because back in the day (2008ish?) Hackaday used to have so many papercraft / 3D-from-cardboard posts that I thought it was Pepakuraday.
As for the series on general 2D to 3D: I’m all for it. I’ll pass that around.
