Best Airline for Frequent Fliers?
Whether you travel all the time for business or you just enjoy flying and use every opportunity you can get to step on a plane, you probably know that the airline you choose makes a huge difference. This week, we want to know which airlines you think are the best for the people who care about more than just ticket price. A good plane trip can make a vacation that much more relaxing, but a bad one can completely ruin your business trip, wreck a relaxing getaway, or even cost you money in delays, fees, lost luggage, and more. We've discussed some ways to ease those pains, but a lot of them are better off stopped before they can begin—by flying an airline you trust and know are committed to customer service and an upbeat experience. Which airlines are those? Well, we'll let you tell us. Leave your nominations in the discussions below!Hive Five nominations take place in the discussions, where you post your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of nominations, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your post like so: VOTE: BEST AIRLINE FOR FREQUENT FLIERS. Please don't include your vote in a reply to another person. Nominations emailed to us will not be counted. Instead, make your vote and reply separate discussions. After you've made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.About the Hive Five: The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get: "Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every weekend, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. For an example, check out last week's five best grills.The Hive Five is based on reader nominations.

We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five?

3D Printed Spiral Earrings
3D printers can do anything. I wanted to make a present for a friend, and she loves earrings, so I decided on some fancy ones I designed and was able to 3D printed! They are a great gift! This instructable covers the steps to design one with a 3D modeling program, but I will also discuss several ways to make them unique. Anyways they look great and are very lightweight. I think the natural PLA filament type looks the best, it's a little tough to tell from the pictures but they reflect a lot of light. I would also like to thank my sister for modeling them. I was fortunate enough to be able to use a Makerbot Replicator 2 to build them, and you can see a time lapse of it below.
A basic knowledge of the 3D modelling program you will use is highly recommended. Watching whatever tutorials/examples they offer will probably be plenty. I used Autodesk Inventor 2013.
The first thing that needs to be chosen is the base shape for your earring. I used a circle to keep things simple. To start make a 2D sketch of your base shape in your 3D CAD program. See my picture for help.Embrace Discomfort to Overcome Learning Plateaus

Snap a Length of String With Your Bare Hands
It's always a good idea to keep a good multitool around. If you find yourself without one, though, you can snap even a strong length of string with this trick.As shown in the videos above, you can break even a fairly strong piece of string by creating a loop in the center of your palm, wrapping one end several times around your finger, and yanking hard on the other end. If you want a more detailed look at this trick, check out this video on MetaCafe.Break String Without a Blade | Hackaday
Most Popular Grill: Weber One Touch Kettle Series
If you're planning a cookout this summer, you'll need the right outdoor cooking appliance to get the job done. Last week, we asked you which grills you thought were the best, and then we took a look at the five best grills based on your nominations. Now we're back to highlight the winner. 
Of course, we know there's a difference between grilling, barbecuing, and smoking, but we're using "grill" as the catch-all for backyard cooking appliances. Most of you picked up on that, and when the votes all tallied up, it was the Weber One Touch Kettle Series that took the top spot, with close to 40% of the overall vote. It may be iconic, but those of you who voted for it explained it's so well known for good reason. In second place was the pricey but extremely well loved Big Green Egg, with close to 25% of the votes cast. This kamado-style cooker will set you back a pretty penny, but it's so well loved that regional clubs and groups have sprung up around it, and there are enthusiast forums all over the web dedicated to them. In third place with 23% of the vote was the Weber Genesis Series of professional-grade gas grills. Falling back in fourth are the more portable and budget-friendly Weber Q Series with over 11% of the vote, and bringing up the rear was the affordable Char-Griller Akorn Kooker kamado-style cooker with 2% of the vote.The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it—it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five?
