It’s time for another Cool Tools review. I’m going to take a look at Fiber Fix. I picked this up on Amazon for around $8, and if you’re into it, using the link in the description helps to support my show and the Cool Tools blog.

This week on Maker Update, the slowest video player ever made, a 5-axis 3D printer, a flip-digit clock, an NFC music player for kids, an internet controlled drawbot, NeoPixel optocouplers, gesture controlled LEDs, and the joys of gaffer tape. 

This week for my 1-minute tool review brought to you by Cool Tools, I’ve got gaffer tape from Gaffer Power. I’ve got two flavors here, Gaffer Power Gaffer Tape 2 Inch X 30 Yards  and Gaffer Power Gaffer Tape 3 Inch X 30 Yards. 

This week on Maker Update, an all natural laser engraver that harnesses the sun, a fume-free portable workstation, a tool recommendation from Adam Savage, 3D printed Lego tape, and a collection of vintage Mac software you can use in your browser.
