Designing a mechanism to move a small light behind or inside of a small sculpture
Study for a small sculpture with a moving light source behind it
Added a sliding door to my Arduino rack and pinion experiment
I've been away for several months due to an intense period at the workplace and in family life. Hoping to be able to share more experiments with arts and technology, even if they are extremely modest like this Arduino driven servo working as a linear actuator.
Dusting off my Arduino bin for some students who are interested in "going there" with electronics & art. For a brief period I sort of knew what I was doing with the Arduino ecosystem, & had a lot of fun tinkering. It's exciting when students pursue things further than I might have the bandwidth for.

Pleasantly surprised to see that PrusaSlicer runs really well on the Raspberry Pi 5
For one of my clay printers, moving from 24v to 36v and upgrading the control board from the Duet2 to the Duet 3, which will then connect to the RaspberryPi. Will allow more power to reach the clay pushing motor and will make it easier to connect, add features like camera, remote monitoring, etc.
I think I'm flattered that AI suggested watching *my own video* to learn about some technical challenges I'm working with.
Working with a Raspberry Pi 5 single board computer, which will become part of my clay printer's brain. I'm enamored with it's various tiny accessories, like this active cooling unit, which is about the size of a matchbox (banana for scale)
More little glaze batches. The more you test, the more ideas for additional tests you can have
Updating my clay printer designs again for a new body of work
Moving toward more color and less control. 'Cascade', glazed ceramic
