I 3D print solutions, and my cat is the problem. 🤦

Thankfully, this was an easy one to fix with my H2D. The next one might not be so easy. 😂

I like to surprise my friends at Thanksgiving with custom place cards, & this year I designed these tiny cinema marquee place cards.

The design is perfect for 3D printing, since I needed enough for everyone & I needed them FAST. They snap fit together & use an LED noodle to give that perfect glow.

✨How I repaired my broken bones with gold and porcelain ✨

Not literally, of course. But using a bike accident & Grade 5 tibial plateau fracture as fuel for creating unique art has been healing beyond measure.

I can't pretend what happened didn't change me, but I refuse to be reduced by it. 💜

Gold repair for broken bones?

Okay, not EXACTLY. This effect isn't created with kintsugi at all, but is done with gold lustre. It's painted on the ceramic piece & fired again to set the gold.

That's right, SET. So any mistakes are forever immortalised on it too??

Thankfully not! It can be saved!

This 3D printed animatronic necklace concept really did come to life!

Sometimes when you're sketching it can feel like the reality is a million miles away. But every journey has to start with a single step.

I'll be running demos at @hackaday-feed.bsky.social Supercon 2025, be sure to come say hi!

Does 3D printing making the impossible... Possible??

I'm so excited to have this interactive cast silver necklace with me next weekend at @hackadayofficial.bsky.social Supercon 2025. I'll be wearing it around, talking about how I did it, and giving live demos of the functionality!

Introducing the most extra 3D printed necklace you've ever seen. 🤣 Contains 3 motors, over a pound of sterling silver, and a whole lot of my blood, sweat and tears.

Full build video now live on my YouTube channel!

The event itself was everything I hoped for, full of incredible makers, engineers, & friends. I'm already preparing for next year! I never got to go to Maker Faire in it's heyday, but @opensaucelive.bsky.social is pretty close!

If you attended, what was your favourite thing that you saw??

I'm a bit late, but man was @opensaucelive.bsky.social a blast!

My excitement for the event started before the weekend even began, as I got to join Mr. Volt and have a hand in getting his fully animatronic Claptrap from Borderlands, ready to go in time. Yours truly got to do most of the painting!

The Clean Air Necklace is back and it's got upgrades! 🤩

It's coming with me to @opensaucelive.bsky.social next week, so make sure to come find me if you're going to be there! See how good (or bad!) the air quality REALLY is in San Mateo. 😉

The huge saving grace has been being surrounded by incredible friends & fellow makers, like those you see here. 🥰 I really am so lucky to know such amazing people, and they've done a lot to help me keep going.

I am hopeful for more good in the near future, as well as new projects!
