This one is so simple it’s almost cheating. All you need to finish it off is some black and white spray paint and a pink jumpsuit — the latter of which might actually be the hardest part of this costume to procure.

Immortan Joe Mask

Colonel Joe Moore, better known as Immortan Joe, is the primary antagonist of Mad Max: Fury Road. He was the lord of the Citadel and the leader of the fanatical War Boys — but you don’t have to be a Mad Max enthusiast to appreciate how creepy this mask is.

Stormtrooper costumes are as common as pigeons these days, so why not rise above the low-ranking white helmets with this superb Death Trooper Mask?

Infinity Gauntlet

This one pairs nicely with some purple body paint, big muscles, and incessant commenting about how everything at the party you’re attending is “perfectly balanced, as everything should be.” Just don’t get carried away and push your daughter off a cliff.

Rick Sanchez mask

Rick has been a popular Halloween costume ever since the premiere of Rick and Morty, so just be prepared to run into somebody else with the same costume. If that happens, be sure to assert your dominance by proclaiming that you are Rick C-137: The smartest of all Ricks in the multiverse.

“The Mask” mask

For a different approach to a classic costume, go as the confused Stanley Ipkiss from Jim Carrey’s The Mask — pre-green face.

Shaman mask

Need a mask to tie together your shaman or wendigo outfit? This full fox skull is just the trick. It’s definitely one of the larger prints in this list, but the two-part jaw with a fully articulated lower mandible is definitely worth the filament you’ll burn through. We promise!

Bane mask

This one is great because it allows you to walk around like you own the place, speak in a silly voice, and explain to everyone at the party that they were merely raised in the darkness — you were born in it.

Iron Man MK6 suit

Need more than just a mask? Well, if you don’t mind spending a few hundred bucks on filament, paint, and electronics; you can print this full Iron Man suit right at home. You may have to save this one for next year — the headpiece can be finished in a day or so, but the rest of the suit will probably take a couple weeks of printing to complete.

Got a bun in the oven this year and hoping to plan a costume around that? This simple three-part print is designed to slip under your shirt, and is practically guaranteed to get you some double takes!

Home robots can already walk. The hard part is stopping them from crushing your glassware
1X’s NEO uses tactile sensing and force control to handle fragile objects, aiming at the kind of household work humanoids still struggle to do.
Baby, Person, Electronics

A robot can look convincing while walking across a stage and still be useless in a kitchen. Picking up a wet glass demands precision, quick corrections, and enough restraint to avoid squeezing too hard. 1X is tackling that problem with new tendon-driven hands for NEO, its humanoid home robot.

1X says each hand has 25 degrees of freedom, with 22 across the fingers and palm and another three in the wrist. Its joints can yield when pushed instead of staying rigid, giving NEO a better chance of handling household objects without treating every collision like a wrestling match.

This tiny remote thinks your finger deserves a vacation
DuRoBo Moodi

Digital reading has become more comfortable thanks to larger displays and e-paper screens, but one small annoyance remains: constantly reaching over to tap or swipe every page. DuRoBo believes it has a solution. The company has unveiled Moodi, its first Bluetooth page-turning remote, designed to make reading, browsing, and media control more comfortable across e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.

Unlike conventional page-turners that focus solely on e-books, Moodi doubles as a compact Bluetooth remote for scrolling through articles, controlling multimedia playback, and navigating long-form content. The device looks towards ergonomic accessories that aim to reduce repetitive hand movements during extended screen time.

Camera sensors just got thinner. Your excuses for blurry photos didn't.

Researchers at Nagoya University have developed a new type of transparent optical sensor that could significantly reduce the size of camera sensors while improving image quality. Published in the journal ACS Nano, the study demonstrates how gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO) nanosheets can detect red, green, and blue (RGB) light within a single pixel, potentially replacing the decades-old Bayer filter design used in nearly every digital camera today.

If commercialized, the technology could enable thinner smartphone cameras, higher-resolution medical imaging devices, and more compact sensors for automotive and aerospace applications, all while simplifying manufacturing.
