Reverse engineered the Click&Grow hydroponic system. Now I can 3D print them in any dimension (it's parametric)

Astra + FreeCAD workflow: I needed a replacement piece for a broken banister. I gave Astra a photo of the broken piece and it created the CAD model in 2 minutes. It's printing now..

Learning about AI + CAD + 3D printing Exploration: Turn a logo into a cookie cutter and frosting stencil It's a pipeline of: - Image processing (numpy, pillow, scipy, shapely) - CAD model generation (freecad) - Preview rendering (blender) - 3D slicing (orca slicer cli) - 3D printing (creality)

Built a script to reduce fees for hosting my apps ✨ Now my only monthly fee is the bare hosting, which can be as little as $5/month 💸

I used AI to 3D-print this cactus shelf (for my aunt). Here's my workflow:

It also supports realtime updates 😁

Cool benefit of writing analytics (requests), logs and errors to same db: Can query requests with all it's logs and any errors thrown in a single view.

Printed and assembled, works great

Also modified the top plate, this one prints a lot faster (cause it has less holes)

I built a custom adapter for my USB handheld vacuum. It uses TPU, so it's rubber like

Created a cap and dome for the planter cups. Gonna get some transparent PLA to print it

Josh Nussbaum @joshnuss.com · 28/04/2026

Rough idea I've been kicking around: An open source planter 🌱🪴 - Mostly 3D printed (except LED strip, earth, seeds, wicks) - Number of plants is parametric, just print the dimensions you need - Compatible with "Click & Grow" cups

Schools are over-focused on teaching procedures (math tricks etc..) instead of concepts. They're also too focused on "answer getting" tests and punishing errors, rather rewarding the process of learning, which requires failure. Here's one part I really liked:

My hobby recently has been 3D modeling and printing. Today I watched a documentary about airplane construction, so I designed this rib/spar wing portion in FreeCAD:

You can also add a client side-plugin, these are used to communicate with the server-side stuff 5/5

000

Josh Nussbaum @joshnuss.com · 19/02/2026

Plugins can provide new endpoints, which are fully typed. They also automatically add a server-side and client-side API function, no `fetch` needed 4/5

Josh Nussbaum @joshnuss.com · 19/02/2026

Plugins can add to database schema, adding new models or updating existing models 3/5

Josh Nussbaum @joshnuss.com · 19/02/2026

The basic server-side plugin setup is pretty simple 2/5

better-auth makes building a SaaS type app so much easier. It's basically this config, with a few more options and some HTML/CSS.

If you have payment integration in your project, It's nice to adjust `pnpm dev` to start both the dev server and Stripe tunneling

As much as I hate on vibe coding, there's one place I have found AI somewhat useful... For turning a rough sketch into a realistic graphic Here's an example of an idea I had for a mini AAA-battery powered multimeter:
