Bambu Lab H2D: Your Personal Manufacturing Hub

The H2D is Bambu Lab’s most ambitious machine to date—an all-in-one personal manufacturing hub that combines 3D printing, laser engraving and cutting, and digital plotting in a single platform.

It’s packed with some serious engineering: AI-powered computer vision, ultra-fine motion calibration, and a dual-nozzle system for high-speed multi-material printing. Whether you're prototyping bike parts, engraving birthday cards, or laser-cutting leather, this thing does it all.

  • Dual-nozzle printing with auto calibration

  • Integrated 10W/40W laser for engraving and cutting

  • Digital cutting, pen plotting, and rotary engraving support

  • Live camera alignment and full-auto material detection

  • Enclosed heated chamber and high-temp hotend for advanced materials

  • Modular accessories and optional AMS filament system

If you're into hardware, design, or serious creative work, the H2D is like having an entire maker lab on your desk.

FirstBuild Sourdough Sidekick: Set It and (Almost) Forget It

The Sourdough Sidekick is designed to solve one problem: maintaining your sourdough starter without the daily ritual of feeding and discarding.

Developed with King Arthur Baking Company, it’s a smart countertop device that automates starter feeding based on your schedule or needs. Whether you're baking once a week or every day, your starter stays active and ready with zero waste.

  • Auto Mode builds exactly how much starter you need, when you need it

  • No discard required for up to 7 days

  • Custom Mode replicates your own feeding routine

  • Includes King Arthur Baking’s signature starter

  • Compact, countertop-friendly size

It takes the maintenance out of the process so you can focus on baking great bread—perfect for both beginners and seasoned sourdough enthusiasts.

Zera Sonic-X: A Better Way to Clean Your Teeth

Ok, this one is probably my favorite recent find. Sonic-X is a compact water flosser that uses air-powered jets to clean between teeth and along the gumline—no cords, no mess, and no disposable heads.

It’s designed for powerful, on-the-go oral care with a simple, refillable water tank and intuitive one-handed controls. Whether you’re at home or traveling, it gives you a dentist-level clean in under a minute.

  • Air-pump tech delivers a steady, pressurized stream for deep cleaning

  • Three modes: Gentle, Turbo, and Pulse for personalized care

  • Waterproof and ergonomic for easy, safe handling

  • Long-lasting battery built for daily use and travel

  • Uses only water—no pods, cartridges, or extra waste

It’s a minimalist, effective alternative to traditional floss and bulky oral irrigators.

PixelMug P1: Coffee Meets Creativity

PixelMug P1 turns your mug into a canvas, a message board, and even a mini arcade. Built from real porcelain with an embedded pixel screen, it blends traditional design with expressive tech.

Through the app, you can display custom pixel art, get animated reminders, or send messages to other mugs. It even supports interactive games, AI-generated pixel portraits, and community-designed art packs.

  • Display art, animations, and reminders on your mug

  • Create and sell pixel art through the PixelMug marketplace

  • Play built-in mini games like Gravity Drop and Vegas Slots

  • AI-powered art tools for selfies, pets, and more

  • Swipe and tap controls built directly into the mug

Whether you're trying to stay hydrated or just want your coffee to be more fun, this is the most creative mug out there.
