The Giz Wiz Show 1681, June 29 th 2018 Independent Show #164

The Giz Wiz Show recently started it's13th year or production, and it's fourth year of Independent Production! (The first show was February 20th, 2006.) That's thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters! If it wasn't for them, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: http://www.gizwiz.tv/. You can also contribute just once via the PayPal link that's there too. And thank you for doing that! Our show wouldn't exist without our viewer's support, but a bit more support would be a big help. (As we can say honestly “asking for more Patreon supporters is not to make money”, it helps us lose less money doing The Giz Wiz. Thanks!) 

And now onto the show with a look at 1 more gadget from CE Week, plus 2 new gadgets from Pepcom Summer 2018 Event in NYC.

Eye-Temp is a fire prevention device designed to save lives.

The small Wi-Fi Eye-Temp device monitors temperature and time on of ANY item (stove, candle, iron, etc.) that is paired through one of their devices and connected to their mobile app. They say it's the first smart device that can monitor ANY item individually. You'll receive an alert when an item is left on for too long. This is specific to the item being monitored. When you set up Eyetemp, you will choose the type of item you are monitoring when you pair the device. If a rapid and drastic temperature change is noted, there is an alert that will be sent to notify you. This will note a potentially dangerous situation. When setting up the app you will have the option to add up to 3 emergency contacts. If you are non responsive to an alert, after a designated time period, the app will send a text notification to your emergency contacts. If you leave your residence while an item being monitored is considered in use, you will receive an alert. For example, if you leave while your stove is left on and it is being monitored by Eyetemp, you will receive an alert to remind you that the stove is in use. An optional feature is the Call Center. They will be notified after all of the emergency contacts are utilized and the problem remains. Eye-temp units are $29.99 each, and the app, iOS or Android is free.

From Monoprice, their new Mini SLA LCD High Resolution 3D Printer.

At Pepcom here's what we learned about this new Ultra High Resolution SLA LCD printer, some of which I don't understand, but Chad will help explain during this week's show. It's capable of up to 20 microns, where most competitors are limited to 50 microns. It can print with negative gaps (holes) as small as 30 microns, making it ideal for applications where the highest level of detail is required, such as jewelry and dental prototyping. This SLA printer can print up to 30mm/hour vertically, making it comparable in speed to ordinary FDM/FFF printers. There's an Auto Support Generator too. The software supplied with the MP Mini SLA 3D Printer has the ability to automatically generate any support elements needed. Simply import your 3D model and click a single button to generate all necessary supports. The unit ships with: • 3D Printer • Full Enclosure Blackout Hood • Power Cord • HDMI Cable • USB Cable • Replacement VAT Film • Plastic Spatula • Latex Gloves • Print Removal Tools • Precision Hex Wrench • Cleaning Container • 250 ml UV Resin $499.99 w/o LCD screen & $599.99 with LCD screen.

And speaking of 3D Printer, what ever happened with ONO, the $99 3D Printer that used your smartphone as half of the device. At the Luxury Technology Show, March, 2017 they told me they were starting to deliver printers to the 1^st 16,000 backers. It's now 15 months later and it seems no one has yet gotten their actual production unit:

Chad's Crappy Corner & His Final Gadget For His June Theme!

Chad polled our loyal Patreon members and asked them to vote on his cheap theme for June. Their choice was “Cheap Summer Fun” gadgets! Chad's final Cheap Summer Fun gadget is Water Wubble Bubbles!

In this episode Chad shows us how the Water Wubble seals itself so there's no more struggling to fill and tie water balloons. They're reusable, so there's no need to waste time running around your backyard picking up all those broken water balloon pieces. The company says one set takes the place of hundreds and hundreds of regular water balloons.

An easy-fill nozzle allows you to fill a Water Wubble by just pressing up to the faucet, holding it under running water or filling it from swimming pools, or any other body of water. Fill a Water Wubble a little or fill it a lot – you control the splash! Box includes two colors – 4 red and 4 blue for a total of 8 Water Wubbles.

And Chad's take? Chad liked these. The only downside is you may not totally soak your 'victim' with water the way you can with a water balloon that breaks on contact. As you'll see in Chad's video, the water only comes out through the same hole you used to fill the Water Wubble. So it's not as wet, or as messy. And since they're reusable over and over, the price of about $1.60 each is not bad. They were $12.74 at Target on 6/29/18. They were almost $18 on Amazon on 6/29/18.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories: 

I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.

-

I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.

-

My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.

-

My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.

-

Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live, I canemail an autographed to you Alfred E. Neuman photo if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific!

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv
