This Kickstarter Project Will Let You 3D Print From Your Phone

If you’ve ever had a hand in 3D printing anything, the beginning of the video for AstroPrint’s Kickstarter will make you LOL — it lists the outdated features on the tech toy of our very near future. For all the “they’ll change everything” hype they get, current consumer models have mad wires, display screens that look lifted from goofy ‘80s movies and complex companion software that is intimidatingly unintuitive. Haha, right?! If you’re more like politely nodding your head since you’ve never been in the same room as a MakerBot, you’ll still be delighted by the video for a whole new reason. It proves that anyone can be a 3D printing master — especially after this Kickstarter gets shipping.

AstroPrint (which surpassed its $10,000 goal with a month still left to go) is here to make 3D printers wireless and easy to control with your phone. To get making, all you need to do is plug your printer’s USB cable into the system’s simple little plug-and-play attachment AstroBox, connect to WiFi and you’re ready to print with any digital device acting as your new, crazy-easy-to-use 3D printing interface.

Plugged in to AstroBox, the system turns any smartphone, tablet or computer into a beautiful (A+ for UI design!) and, even more importantly, effective printing interface that will cut down on failed prints with settings that get smarter over time. Use it to slice and manage any 3D printable files you have, then store them in the AstroPrint cloud. Another incentive for Kickstarter backers — you’ll get a free lifetime subscription for storage and other services with AstroPrint.com, $10/month if you don’t throw down your pledges now.

With a successful Kickstarter, AstroPrint will add camera support to provide live online viewing and auto updates via text and email, remote access so you can print from anywhere in the world and a printer and filament database that updates and grows with the new printing products coming to market.

Early bird pledges have already been snatched up, but there are still a few $100 basic packages that will deliver in September and $125 packages due in October after those run out. And, they will probably run out. Which is a good thing! Like we’ve trumpeted before, with more regular Joe + Joanna’s like you and me firing up 3D printers, the more the industry can actually learn and grow and become that future-changing thing we all keep hyping. Being able to run the device remotely on an easy, pretty-on-the-UIs app, will bring that future lightyears (and regular years) closer.

Listen up, coffee lovers! If running out of K-cups is enough to derail your morning routine, allow us to introduce you to a solution that’ll ensure you’re stocked with with the stuff 24/7. It’s called the WePlenish Java Smart Container, it’s launching today on Kickstarter, and we’re pretty sure it’s the coolest thing to happen to coffee since the Keurig.

WePlenish may look like any other coffee pod container, but it’s actually a smart vessel that orders K-cups/Nespresso pods and has them mailed to your door before you ever run out. Essentially, it’s like asking your roomie to grab some coffee at the store — without the whole asking part.

Instead, the system relies on sensors, an app, and Amazon: The container senses when supplies are running low, the sensors communicate with the app, and the app re-orders your fave coffee capsules from Amazon Dash Replenishment (a service similar to Amazon Prime). What’s more, the app saves your coffee preferences and uses the info to recommend personalized picks.

The gadget comes in either black or white and can be stored literally anywhere, thanks to it being battery-operated. We love how it looks sitting next to a coffee maker, but it’s ideal for tucking away neatly in the pantry, too.

You can snag the WePlenish Java Smart Container starting today for $40 at weplenish.com — or get the early-bird pricing at Kickstarter. Cheers to a lifetime of unbridled coffee consumption!

Cue up a standing ovation, TBH, because the famed McDonald's Shamrock Shake is officially back on menus (finally)! Served annually since 1970, this is one of the tastiest fast food sweet treats we look forward to year after year. The Shamrock Shake will only be around for a limited time, so get to your nearest drive-thru ASAP!

Here’s everything you need to know about the return of the Shamrock Shake for 2025!

McDonald's

The Shamrock Shake has been around for over half a century, and at this point it’s hard to deny how yummy it is. Packed with creamy vanilla soft serve ice cream that’s blended with a minty (and very green) syrup, the brightly-colored frozen delight is traditionally topped with whipped cream to incite lots of excitement for St. Patrick’s Day season.

McDonald's

McDonald’s just debuted the Shamrock Shake for 2025 on February 4, noting once again that it’s a limited-time item.

They included the announcement in an adorable social media videothat tells the story of Grimace (remember the famed Grimace Meal?) finding his long-lost uncle, O’Grimacey – the purveyor of the Shamrock Shake.

McDonald's

Though there’s no official word on just how long the Shamrock Shake will stay on McDonald’s menus, we can infer that it’ll stick around until at least March 17 (AKA St. Patrick’s Day).

Typically, limited-time menu items like this will be served while supplies last – in this case, the “supplies” in question refer to the super minty Shamrock syrup that completes the treat.

McDonald's

McDonald’s will also be serving up their Oreo Shamrock McFlurry in 2025, which starts with the expected mix of vanilla soft serve and Shamrock syrup, then bulks up each bite with Oreo cookie pieces blended throughout.

Raise your hand if you love doing laundry. Anyone? If you’re like most of us, then anything that cuts down on your loads of wash is huge. That’s where our new favorite towels come in. Brooklyn-based Silvon is crowdfunding a new collection of towels that help eliminate bacteria so they stay fresh — and stink-free — for way longer.

The organic cotton towels (up on Kickstarter now) use silver to work their magic. Thanks to the precious metal’s antibacterial properties, bacteria cells are destroyed, keeping them off your body — and keeping that unmistakable musty smell away from your soft, clean towels.

Silvon’s towels aren’t totally magic. The company recommends washing them once every one to two weeks. That may or may not be more often than you wash them now, but Silvon says their product is proven to stay cleaner and better-smelling in the meantime.

You can choose from hand towels, face towels, bath towels, bath sheets, or a bath mat. Prices range from $29 for two face towels to $229 for a Super Set (two each of the bath towels, bath sheets, and hand and face towels, plus one bath mat). Silvon also has a line of silver-infused bed sheets ($130+) it successfully Kickstarted in June of 2016, if you want to lighten your laundry load even more.

While you can order the towels now, you won’t be able to get your hands (or other body parts) on them until February. Since people are clearly fascinated with the promise of these towels, Silvon has already blown past its $20,000 Kickstarter goal.

After Taylor Swift was broughtinto the middle of Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's legal battle (the popstar was allegedly present alongside Blake, Justin, and Ryan Reynolds, praising Blake's It Ends With Us script rewrite), Justin's lawyer Bryan Freedman revealed that Taylor could be deposed in their March 2026 trial. And after all those Blake Lively and Taylor Swift feud rumors, this an update I wasn't expecting.

Here's everything we know about Taylor Swift's potential involvement in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's It Ends With Us legal battle.

Taylor Swift could "provide evidence" in the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively trial.

While on TMZ's Two Angry Men podcast on February 5, Bryan Freedman said that Taylor Swift could be deposed, or called to testify (often in writing) in the case between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively.

"I don’t know that we’re going to depose Taylor Swift. I think that that’s going to be probably a game time decision. I don’t know that that decision has been made,” he says. “But, I can tell you this, anyone that reasonably has information that can provide evidence in this case is going to be deposed.”

After the meeting between the four stars, Blake allegedly texted Justin about why she had called on Ryan and Taylor in the first place. "If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you'll appreciate that I'm Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons," Justin claims she said. "For better or worse, but usually for better. Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. you will too, I can promise you."

The conversation comes after Justin Baldoni published two years' worth of It Ends With Us messages on his website TheLawsuitInfo.com — and Blake and Ryan moved to dismiss Jusin's original lawsuit.

And on February 3, the costars' judge warned their lawyers to calm their publicity war down so they don't sway the jury. Judge Lewis Liman warned Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's legal teams to "rein in the public relations war outside the courtroom," according to People, and to avoid saying anything with a "substantial likelihood" of leading the jury to have a bias one way or the other.

There's still an entire year before we'll see these two in court, and the fact Blake Lively just got sued again proves anything can happen.

Read up on why, for some reason, Blake Lively's Controversial It Ends With Us Costumes Cost Over Half A Million Dollars.
