Anyone else having an existential crisis about AI lately? Like anyone with half a brain can write fully functional apps for very bespoke use-cases. Besides the economic and environmental impacts, I have anxiety of what this really means for humanity; good or bad.

My multiboard journey begins... The workbench had a standard pegboard backing but it wasn’t easy to customize so I fell into the multiboard rabbit hole. Its a free modular storage system using 3D printer optimized models. multibuild.io

I have a childhood dream project, I've wanted to build a lego train rail that goes around the perimeter of my room. I can 3D print mounts, but Lego is expensive and they're not powered rails anymore. I don't really want to get into HO scale hobby, maybe 3D printed train and tracks?

Open source hardware is awesome. I had a user on Printables make a feature suggestion to add a list of screw angles instead of just opposing sides and I was able to add and test it fairly quickly.

I used the EM3D Scanner App to get a rough mesh in Fusion for a sketch profile I could use to create a form-fitted handle. You use "Create Mesh Section Sketch" then "Fit Curves to Mesh Section" and trace a sketch line to follow the mesh profile. I find 3D scanner reverse engineering is very tedious.

Custom lampshade printed in vase mode. Fairly easy to design with a sketch and revolve pattern. Set extrusion width to 0.6mm with a 0.4mm nozzle. Perfect print with Prusa Core One.

I got a crt monitor that I dragged here when I moved but didn’t know what to do with it. Well I moved the Core One printer to the other side of the shelf and now use the crt as a secondary monitor. 1280x1024@60hz seems to be the sweet spot (even though it could do 1900x1200 somehow).

This is what happens when you leave your Prusa XL unattended! 🛠️ The Dummy 13 crew by Soozafone staged a takeover: the big boss runs the control panel, a techie tunes the toolchanger, and one guy is already ordering Prusament on his laptop. And the rest? Pure party mood! 🎸 1/2

I started this shelf project about 6 months ago when I moved into my apartment. I developed a parametric dowel rod connector system to build it then I had the hardest time motivating myself to finish it. I had to problem solve since I built it with basic tools and my Mk4/Core One printing 6+kg PETG

I saw we're doing 2016 throwbacks. On this day 10 years ago, I was making the first prints on a Mendel 90 we built for the "How to build a RepRap 3D printer" class I taught at the Dallas Makerspace. I would have never guessed I'd be making a living working on 3D printers founded by RepRap today.
