3-D-Printed Lamborghini Aventador Spider

Lamborghini has never been as overly-protective of their car designs as fellow Italian maker Ferrari — witness the '80s Countach-on-a-Fiero craze. This is good for laser physicist Sterling Backus and his son Xander, who have been working day and night on building a full-scale Lamborghini Aventador Spider with bodywork made completely on a 3-D printer. Sterling used models for the Aventador he found online and edited in Dassault Systèmes' Solidworks software. From there, every piece was printed using a variety of plastics, including carbon fiber-infused materials where extra strength is needed. The car's frame and suspension are a steel spaceframe design and mimic the racing-derived principles incorporated into the actual Aventador. So far Sterling estimates he's spent about $20,000 on the project, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the $650,000 Lamborghini charges for the real thing — and that's not including the learning experience and time spent with his son.

Nike Ja 1 Basketball Shoes

Highlight plays. High-flying dunks. Ankle-breaking crossovers. Brutal blocks. Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant can do it all — and in style. Now, you can wear his signature on-court kicks, too, the Nike Ja 1, a mid-top sneaker with a bouncy forefoot Air Zoom unit for when you're taking off, a cushioned midsole for when you land, a foam collar so you don't roll an ankle, and plenty of grip and a forefoot strap so you can easily break others'. Subtle touches like Ja's custom 12 a.m. graphic, handwritten signature, hand-drawn logo, and jersey number add a truly custom feel, even if this player exclusive is up for grabs to everyone to wear their own way. These do, however, fit a bit small — so size a half-size up for the best fit and performance.

Ooni Koda 2 Max Pizza Oven

Sometimes bigger really is better. With a 24"-wide cooking area, the Ooni Koda 2 Max can easily cook massive 20" New York-style pies, or handle up to three 10" pizzas simultaneously. That size also makes room for two independently controlled gas burners and two 3/4′′ cordierite pizza stones, creating dual cooking zones. A front-mounted digital temperature display and app connectivity make monitoring the oven simple, G2 Gas Technology with tapered flames delivers more consistent heat, and the glass visor is removable to allow for cooking larger dishes. Available in propane and natural gas versions.
