1. Balloon Powered Car
This educational self-propelled car gets its power from the pressure and flow of air, moving forward continuously through its motor structure. The power source is an inflated balloon, helping children understand mechanical structures and kinetic energy principles. The creator completed this project with an Ultimaker 3D printer, and it works and runs incredibly fast in practice.

2. Canned Dumbbell DIY
The 3D printed dumbbell handle has a simple design. You just need to pay attention to the diameter of the cans you're using. It's easy to get started and allows for recycling! After printing, use pliers to remove the support structure between the bottom of the part and the cylindrical can. Then, use glue to attach the 3D printed object to the can.
