I think the roll of eSUN ABS+ I got isn’t very good. Haven’t been able to tune settings for like a day.

I’m sure there is something to be done besides throwing almost a full roll of filament away.

I don’t own a filament dryer yet, but I think that might also be step in the right direction?

My latest blog post: Hacking an IKEA HÖVOLM into a Helmet Rack

I received my first ever 3D printer as a present recently, so I decided to put it to some practical use. I designed some new hooks to hold bike helmets securely on an IKEA HÖVOLM.

3D-printed, modified Star Wars DLT-19X heavy blaster rifle is mostly complete! Major paint touch-up is done as of about 10 minutes ago. Next up is a ton of small paint touch-ups all over and then I do some weathering test pieces before I move onto that stage.... And it will theoretically be finished at some point, eventually. :)

I’ve been given the opportunity to be volunteer project lead on installing a new 3D printer at the local vintage airplane museum.

I just found out it’s a freakin’ Stratasys Fortus 450! That’s a lot of horsepower to push plastic! This is going to be interesting.

The state of 3d-printing from OpenBSD by Andrew Hewus Fresh

It's possible to do some 3d printing related things on an OpenBSD machine, but there are a bunch of popular tools that aren't available in the ports tree. We will talk about some of the different classes of software and what things are popular and whether they are currently available on OpenBSD and what the blockers are from getting those into the ports tree.
