FDM Timelapse Controller
I wanted to document my FDM prints with a timelapse, so I hacked a GoPro controller with a microswitch to take a picture on every layer. After every layer, custom GCode moves the head to the trigger point at the edge of the X axis.

The Electric Longboard Lives.
At long last, my custom-built electric longboard is completed. Of course, I’m only willing to call this version 1, but I’m pretty Impressed with the results.
Custom welded batteries, hand made case, milled motor/ wheel mounts, the works. I had a lot of fun solving every problem that comes from doing it yourself. It’s not perfect, but I got almost exactly what I wanted.
And it looks cool.

Bridge Light
Well, I needed some light in my new workshop. But I only have my 3d printer. So I did it that hard way.
I’d just CNC it next time, but at least it looks cool.

SLA Cold Casting
With the high-detail of SLA printers, I wanted to cast from it. But, why just cast another piece of plastic when you could cast it in metal? Well, I can’t exactly light up a foundry inside, so I tried the Cold Casting method. I mixed 50% brass powder with 50% resin, and this is what I got. Add a little shoe polish, and burnish with a spoon, and you get a pretty convincing result.
