In article number 1700173 , Jing Liu and co‐workers illustrate a suspension 3D printing method to create macroscopic three dimensional structures of liquid metal object inside a self‐healing hydrogel, which negates the highly restrictive effects of surface tension, gravity and liquid property to the fabrications. Fountain heads depicting the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac and a stereo photo‐electronic lighting device with stretchable shapes are demonstrated as examples.
