Apple takes a stand against the government, Mattel announces a 3D printer for kids, and Google dumps yet another beloved application. We’re joined in the studio this week by our Kishore and Frank to chat about this week’s technology news, the wild success of Deadpool, and pirating academic journals. That, and TV Quest 2016!

Ask Adam Anything #1: Workshops and Work Spaces
In case you missed it, we’re kicking off a new series for the Tested Premium Member community in which Adam will take your questions and answer one every week! For this first episode, Adam talks about how he operates in different-sized workshops and work spaces, and why the way a shop is set up is a reflection of how you make things. If you have a question or something you want to share with Adam, post in the comments below!
Show and Tell: Adam Savage’s New Bullwhip
Adam’s love of bullwhips is well-known, especially ones inspired by Raiders of the Lost Ark. While on tour, Adam met a fan who makes bullwhips that are unlike any in his collection. The new whip arrives at the cave, and Adam has to give it a test crack! (Find Joshua’s whips here.)

Prepping Adam Savage’s Blade Runner Blaster
In preparation for bringing his Blade Runner blaster replica to meet the original prop in Dan Lanigan’s collection, Adam spent an afternoon tweaking and touching up his build. We chat with Adam about how he tore down his blaster, what fixes he made, and what he took away from the prop playdate! (Also, check out our new HTML5 player!)
Inside Adam Savage’s Cave: Glue and Paint Carts
With a little more time on his hands, Adam is continually working on projects in his workshop. Some of those projects are building out the Cave’s infrastructure. We stop by to check out his newest glue shelves, which are made from old airplane food service trolleys! Here’s how the refurbished rolling carts radically increases Adam’s efficiency in the shop!

Lots to talk about this week as we’re joined by Jeremy Williams and Kishore Hari to recap the Super Bowl (technology and chicken wings!), discuss our hopes for Star Trek, Jeremy’s appearance on Mythbusters, and the latest news in tech. How do you feel about the newest changes to Twitter?
Tested In-Depth: Formlabs Form 2 SLA 3D Printer
We go in-depth with the Formlabs Form 2 SLA desktop 3D printer, which creates models by curing resin, layer by layer with a laser. Sean and Norm have been using the printer for the past few months, stress testing its new resin materials, print resolution, software, and cartridge-based resin. Here’s how Form 2 compares to the first-generation Form 1, as well as FDM printers.
