With amazing gaming performance for the price, the Intel Core i5-13400F is our recommendation for one of the best CPUs for gaming, based on its fantastic bang-for-buck ratio.

Being a maker is so much fun, and one of our favorite ways to get creative is with 3D printing. There are too many projects and ideas to list here for what you can create with a 3D printer, but some projects that I've seen recently include making custom headphone holders, a case for your Raspberry Pi projects, and even some funky terrain for a 40K battle. Only your imagination limits the potential of this medium.
