Re-introducing myself here. Hi, I’m Mitch (he/him) I’m most known for my 3D printer backpacks. You’ve probably seen videos of it or at the RepRap festivals/Open Sauce. I also was on Team XD with Subzero and Spitfire Battlebots 2020/2021 seasons. I enjoy digital fabrication and interactive exhibits.
Typical only child, played with lego sets by myself (apparently trading potty training for lego kits since diapers were more expensive). Fascinated with our first computer (486 built from hand downs). Dad did electronics and car/motorcycle repair in the garage so I learned early on.

I'm preparing myself for all the youtube creators making 2 hour long compilation videos because the algorithm ignores their videos. I do appreciate the maker secret santa video series.

I bought a $7 tree and it was so cheap I feel like the Charlie Brown Christmas.

Roots by Imagine Dragons has one of the worst bass drum tracks I’ve ever heard. I get they’re going with the the drum and bass, distorted bass sound but the rhythm is awful and it’s cut off on purpose. Anyone else hear it too? youtu.be/e4RMh7NLHPY?...

So Prusa released their Open Print Tag standard for NFC filament management, if you look at the specs, it's an ISO/IEC 15693 NFC tag with a specific NDEF message format. One interesting thing is a reserved for transmission_distance for HueForge prints, and material properties specs.openprinttag.org

The laser is now setup in my garage, using a exhaust box I created to fit under the garage door seal. It works, but I need a more powerful fan to pull away the smoke. But I was able to cut some acrylic pieces.

I’m designing an exhaust vent that will let me use my laser in the garage without having to block or modify the door. I’ll have to see if it restricts the blower or I might need more positive pressure.

Thanks to Daniel V for coming up and helping me rearrange and organize my garage so I could get my mom’s car in with extra space. I finally got my laser setup with the iMac with lightburn.

My first shelf using the RAD system. Entirely plywood tiles, 3/8in dowels, screws and parts printed on the Positron.

My positron has been printing some practical prints around the house. Come to 3D Printopia and you’ll see me wearing it on my back all weekend.

For 3D Printopia, I came up with a clever solution to makerchip storage when I walk around with the 3D printer backpack. Feel free to share, download, like, remix!

A good design exercise for @openscad.bsky.social is to make makerchips, SVG import, text linear_extrude, and shape iteration. Don’t have an MMU/AMS? Just manually swap filament for the first and last layers with your pop color. Of course this can all be done in the slicer.

I got my first level of shelf, I’m getting dowels as I can (local hardware stores don’t carry a lot of them and I can’t afford to buy them all at once). It’s a good proof of concept though. I think it’ll be more stable with plywood screwed on top.

I shrunk the dodecahedron to a manageable size. I also started building my entertainment center to perfectly fit the bay windows. It’s not the cheapest option for custom shelving, I realize 2x4’s would be the cheapest and sturdy but now I’m committed.

Little update to RAD (Rod Assisted Design) OpenSCAD, angle array list. I realized I would eventually need non-uniform angles it wasn't too difficult to update. I also did some small fixes to other features so far. Also I created a large dodecahedron. github.com/themitch22/R...

Introducing RAD (Rod Assisted Design), my latest parametric @openscad.bsky.social model that generates dowel rod, pipe, or tube connectors for use in construction of shelves, furniture, geometric decor, toys. Link to the github repository listed as well. Please give it some likes and feedback!
