If I actually finish this, you're not going to want to print it. Lamp base in the works that clocks in at 525mm (just over 20 Freedom Units™ hahaha

#VoronVICE was a success. Visited Protopasta too and made my own filament!
Blue, black glitter, carbon fiber, and white filament pellets in the hopper making my filament. My dark blue filament being wound on a spool. Inside the Protopasta office. This is a display of their coil samples and a huge number of prints in many colors. Me outside the Protoplant (Protopasta) building.

Dustin on @alaskaairlines.bsky.social flight 1299 from OC to PDX left his phone on all flight… rules aren’t that hard to follow, are they? Why don’t they call him out?

My LED project is getting big! The frame is actually built now and I thought the rest of the white was coming Monday, but it arrives today instead! Can’t wait to get this going again! #3dprinting #Protopasta
I’m holding my icosahedron based light. The red frame is 75% built in this photo and only 2 of the sides are attached. I’m holding it to illustrate the scale of the project.

I just ordered 2 #PixelBlaze boards for a light up project I'm working on for @makerfaireoc.com & @makerfaire.bsky.social this year. The design is 95% done. Now to decide on filaments and start some test prints. Currently just under 5kg estimated.
screen capture of my receipt for 2 Pixelblaze boards, one unsoldered and one wired for X3 adapters. A triangular design where the 3 points sweep up to almost meet in the middle, almost like petals. The middle has another triangular pattern about it it rotating toward the petals. It almost looks like a flower.

Who wants to be able to use #MakerChips like buttons on your shirt or sweatshirt? What if it requires no holes, magnets nor alterations to chips? Would you want to wear your favorite makers' chips? #3DP #RMRRF #3DPrinting #Maker #3DPrinted #MakerCoin

Couple hundred of the round ones and literally 1,000+ of the various plates all printed face down on that sheet. That’s ignoring the huge number of fidget cubes I print. Love it!

A great weekend sharing #CocoaPress (@ellierose.me why no @ cocoapress?) to the fine people of #ABQ #NM with @mattstultz.bsky.social and @cjyohe.bsky.social. Matt and I got out of the venue 12 minutes after it closed leaving the display assembled until closing! It’s like we’ve done it before.

Love me a good mystery spool! How great is this gradient???
A spool of Canadian Filaments Mystery PLA. It starts charcoal gray at the core and fades to an off white the closer to the edge it gets.
