Hasta La Gadget!

Make your clothes stand out with these LED-equipped and 3D printed buttons. Electronics shop Adafruit shared this project last January to help keep folks visible in snowy winter nights, but unless it’s always bright and sunny where you are then you’ll still find a use for these buttons.

Aside from the 3D printed button cases, the main components of this device are the GEMMA electronic board and the Flora NeoPixel RGB LEDs. Watch the video to find out how to put them together.

As always you can find instructions and links to all components on Adafruit’s website. I’m sure you can make the electronics fit in other 3D printed cases, like a replica of Iron Man’s arc reactor.

If you like your Harry Potter mixed with some Doctor Who, this is your lucky day. Here is a sonic screwdriver wand. You can make your own. But is it magic or science? It is both and it is amazing.

Both Harry and the Doctor would love this. It was created by Instructables contributor CabbitCastle. Someone wanted him to make a wand of the Tenth Doctor’s sonic screwdriver, so he made plans in Photoshop and used a lathe to make it. The wand box was made from poster board and foam pads, and naturally, it’s been decorated to look like a TARDIS.

Tutorials for each project are available so you can make both the wand and box. Now you are almost ready to cosplay as Doctor Harry Potter. All you need is a pair of glasses and trenchcoat.

Game of Thrones fans get out your wallets. ThinkGeek has a set of replica dragon eggs that you know you want to add to your collection. There are three egg replicas in the box. Each of the eggs isn’t a petrified dragon, rather they are made from resin.

The box is made from Cunninghamia wood and lined with black silk. The fittings on the box are made from brass. The replica eggs are official Game of Thrones licensed merchandise.

The outside lid of the box has the Targaryen sigil in red and white on the top. The box measures 9 3/4″(L) x 4 3/4″(W) x 3 3/4″(H) and each egg is 3″(H) and 2 1/4″ in diameter.

You can pick up your set of replica dragon eggs for $99.99(USD). Order quick enough and you could be hiding these for the kids this Easter.

Garden gnomes are supposed to protect your garden. So what kind of gnome do you trust with the job? One of those happy gnomes you see everywhere or a gnome that knows how to play the Game of Gnomes? I trust the latter.

Your garden will be safe with Ned Bark guarding it. He is Lord of the North of Grassteros and sits on the Throne of a Thousand Shovels in King’s Lawnding. In the Game of Gnomes you grow or you die, there is no middle ground.

There will be blood. And dirt. This little guy is made of cement, hand casted, hand painted, and then sealed in outdoor weather sealer. He’s just $79.99(USD) from Chris and Jane’s Place. Spring is coming. Will you be ready?

Last February Blizzard and deviantART held a Diablo III: Reaper of Souls fan art contest. The winners of the contest have now been announced. Diablo III Art Director Christian Lichtner had the honor of picking the winners. He chose Kuzinskiy Andrey and his barbarian-centered piece New Evil as the grand prize winner.

deviantART member TheRafa bagged second place. In Among the Dead, TheRafa featured the new Crusader class about to engage the Reaper of Souls himself, Angel of Death Malthael.

Yong Jun Cho aka nixell won third place with his badass Monk art, Fist of Conviction. This is actually my favorite among the three.

Congratulations to all the winners! You deserve your epic loot. Use this waypoint to deviantART to check out what Christian had to say about each winning artwork, and be sure to admire them in their full resolution on their respective artists’ pages. I highly recommend looking at the other submissions as well.
