One of the things I struggled with when testing the star adventurer is that here in south Norway - the latitude is somewhere between 59 and 60° north. That means that the tracker is pointing 60° up…

Back before I got the prusa mk3 printer - I was using octopi on a raspberry pi zero w to run octopi with the pi camera v2. Up until recently - I have been using the prusa only via the SD card. But - I…

Most of the 3d printing I am interested in is functional prints. However - sometimes a model sticks out as something really worth printing. The MakerBot T-Rex skeleton is one such. For ease of…

MMU2 The multi material unit v2 from Prusa (MMU2) was recently released - and for those of us that pre-ordered it way back when it was announced - it's actually started arriving. I assembled mine on…

The model A fairly long time ago I found and printed this model: Celluar Lamp. I even scaled it up in size - just to see if I could print it. The lamp So - then of course the next question arose…

Found this model of a star decoration on Thingiverse. Did a quick print run and instead of using a string of LED lights just grabbed a handful from the drawer and a small buck converter. The converter…

To move forward with the Dalek build - the next step is to start work on priming and painting the parts. Before I started that I decided to have a test run. I grabbed Om Nom from thingiverse and…

When working on some models (both kit and 3d printed) it helps to have a turntable to get access all around without having to touch the model. Ths helps when building, painting and especially when…

I picked up the transparent (or natural) filament today - so I could print off the light covers (ears). That means all parts from the model are now printed. I can now position the lower main body…

Printing progress. Lots more parts printed. I have run out of blue so some are red. I've also run out of red - so the skirts will be in black. All that leaves now is the ears - they need to be in…

Did some digging - and have found several voice modulators for arduino out there that can make you sound like you're a dalek. Some of them also do the lights control. Some mention the wave arduino…

The Dalek build has been started. The base front and back parts have been printed. They show the footprint of the finished model when placed together: Oddly - the quality on the front (printed first…

While I was digging for some inspiration for a new 3d model I happened across the Accurate Dalek Model by user Audrey2. Accurate Dalek This brings back memories of being terrified as a kid by these…

I recently picked up a set of PolarPro's Cinema ND and ND+Polarizer filters for DJI Mavic drone. They come in a nice box supported in foam but are a bit fiddly to get in and out. Did some looking…

I was watching a video on 3D Printing Nerd's youtube channel where he was printing a Pac-Man ghost (video at the end of this post). It made me think that it could be fun to do something similar. Here…

So - the kids are taken by the current fidget spinner craze. I have to say that personally - they seem like simple gyroscopes - but OK - they think they're interesting. So - what can we do with that…
