How often do you actually get flowers and need a vase to put them in ? On your birthday , perhaps ? When a family member pass by ? So why inconvenience storing a rarely - used fancy vase when this clever3D - printable credit card widgetturns a political party balloon into a seemly home to keep a few flowers alive ?
design by Evan Gant , the simple BalloonVase looks precarious , but once filled with water the base of the balloon expand , return it more than enough stability to keep a few flowers unsloped .
you could corrupt one from Shapeways , or just impress your own — if you ’re comfortable with 3D molding software system and despairing to find a use for that 3D printer you spent a few hundred buck on . But as apt as this introduction is , it ’s yet another reminder that the 3D printer is n’t precisely the replicator that Star Trek call us . Instead of roil out hot meal , teatime , or tools on demand , the consumer - quick version of these machine have been mostly relegated to create moldable novelty items withminimal functionality .
If balloon vas are the genuine future that Star Trek incorrectly forecast , a handful of fresh cut flower are n’t going to relieve our disappointment .
