• Nature is amazing

    One fun thing about traveling, you get to see some of the best part of nature….human nature. I walked past this beut’ and actually lol’ed. Gives me hope in humanity when folks do this type of thing. Embrace the weird…..some days it’s all we have!

  • Scrambler….

    I write this on the side of a gravel road. Stranded by the least reliable ATV in Western Canada. Not sure what it is this time, started to backfire and then just stalled. Won’t start…..at least I’m close to the road for a pick up. Gotta walk up the valley first to get cell reception…

  • Onshape….can I get a hell ya?

    Just pissing around in Onshape, drawing some nests & parallels to 3D print for the laser. When I first got the sweet Ender, I was using a Mac & couldn’t find a free CAD (I’m cheap). Tried a few, had troubles with them on IOS. Fuck…..this went on for a while. Printing shit from thingiverse…

  • Still lasering along…… MOPA settings

Dialing in materials settings is interesting, as I have no fucking clue what I’m doing! Wisely provided stainless samples from this actual machine, but aluminum is a crap shoot. A bit…

  • “Hello World”

    Well…..the Arctos arm I’m building is now at the “computer” stage. Quickly became evident I was in over my head…..minor setback. Ordered a Arduino Uni started kit from Elegoo. If it’s easy enough for a child, well I may be able to grasp this. Worked through a dozen projects & crowned my learnin’ with this…

  • 60w MOPA fibre laser.

    Just fired up a new 60w MOPA fibre laser. Ordered from Wisely. Packaged well, and assembled great. Software & instructions were easy to set up. Test ran on anodized aluminum & 304 ss. This will be a fun machine to learn. This machine will replace our Automark indenting machine (went out of business a decade…

  • The Little Ender that could

    This Ender 3v2 is printing Arctos 6-axis robot arm parts, our boldest project yet….

  • Raspberry Pi DIY arcade
