Today marks one year of low dose testosterone use, as a nonbinary person. Accidentally & somewhat miraculously, I was beautifully captured me almost exactly one year apart at @opensaucelive.bsky.social, providing me with the perfect side by side comparison to look at. I even kind of posed the same!

Take me back to @opensaucelive.bsky.social, aka Nerd Summer Camp. 🥲 I didn't take nearly enough photos, because I was far too busy having the time of my life. This is just a sampling of the stuff I saw, & the fun that was had. Can it be 2027 now so we can go back? 🥲 #opensauce #makers #engineers
I know everything feels a bit crazy right now, and I know a holiday isn't exactly going to fix things... But what if you could come on a trip with me and a bunch of like minded nerds? 🤔 I'm trying to gauge if there's interest in this! my.trovatrip.com/public/l/sur...

Turns out it's surprisingly easy to train your own facial recognition model! Want to try your hand at it? I've put all the files, code, and a detailed walk through on how to make your own face locked box on the Arduino Project Hub. projecthub.arduino.cc/katzcreates/...
Arduino UNO Q Face Locked Chocolate Box
This one-of-a-kind face-locked chocolate box keeps your sweet treats secure with a playful, high-tech twist that only opens when it recognizes your favorite person, powered by the Arduino UNO Q.

I made an AI powered chocolate box with an @officialarduino.bsky.social Arduino UNO Q, because everything is more fun with motors and computer vision. 😉 I have free will and yes, this is what I choose to do with it. 😂

Resin printing is AWESOME but it can be DANGEROUS if done incorrectly. And one of the things you want to avoid is printing in a tiny room with no ventilation. ☠️ Then what do you do if want to resin print? Invent something to make it safe. Or borrow from me. 😉 github.com/katzcreates/...
There's a whole full length YouTube video all about it live now, so if you want to know more about all the cool things that have gone into this project, give it a watch, like, and share! youtu.be/XaNxWOZJLws

It'll also double as a sanding/paint booth, so it's doing a lot of heavy lifting. The best part? I'll be sharing the plans open source when it's all finished. 🥳 So if you too want to resin print safely in a small space, I've got you! Stay tuned for the upcoming long form YouTube video about it!
Introducing the latest member of the Katz Creates team; the Form 4 resin printer! 😘 It's been a little while coming, due to the insane amount of work to get to this point, but the @formlabs Form 4 is almost ready to get put into action making amazing builds! But... Why did it take so long?

No more stolen chocolates this Valentine's Day! Okay, maybe chocolate theft isn't an actual problem. 😂 But I thought it would be fun to see what the UNO Q 4GB from @officialarduino.bsky.social could do with unique facial recognition, & what kind of mischief I could get up to. #sponsored_by_arduino

Meet the New Kid: the UNO Q by @officialarduino.bsky.social! We only just met, but I think we're gonna be friends. 😎 Stay tuned to see the chocolate friendly Valentine's Day project I made with it! Learn more about the Arduino UNO Q here: arduino.cc/products/uno... #sponsored_by_arduino

Jewellery casting never has a dull moment. 🤦 Doing the investment casting for my animatronic beetle necklace was one of the most fun parts, but also the messiest by a landslide. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel for the full build video of this awesome project!

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!
