Just got back from the Rochester Makerfaire! Lots of cool projects on display, but my favorite was definitely the open source Prometheus MSLA 3D printer @ragwafire.bsky.social was showing off!

Check out the Github if you haven’t heard of this before! github.com/TheContrappo...

We had an interesting problem with these gears recently where the alignment holes were cut undersized by the vendor!

Thankfully the dowel pins in the jig could be replaced with bearings to create an impromptu kinematic coupler! Not ideal, but it’s been a great patch-fix so far 😅

Open Hardware Summit was amazing! Grateful for all the incredible people that attended and shared their stories. I think I’ll have to plan a talk for next year!

Special thanks to NYC Resistor and Fat Cat Fab Lab for showing us around as well!

I’ve been working on restoring an old milling machine at a #hackerspace in #pittsburgh! Can’t wait to have it up and running
