In the maker space, I'm noticing a trend of people using AI to generate their logo, signage, etc. They all have that templated, over-embellished, over-complicated look. And I'm just scratching my head. Why on earth would I entrust my creative projects to someone who relies on AI to promote their […]

The best thing about Bambu's R1 laser announcement is that maybe Bambu Suite will become less of a piece of crap than it is today. #laserengraving

One of my favorite things about making the fixture (you can call it a jig if you must, but you'd be wrong), is I learned how to fuse two parts together with interlocking beams. The object is so large, it requires printing from both heads on the Bambu H2D. #3dprinting

A 3d printing slicing preview shows two parts fused together by interlocking extensions from each part, printed from different nozzles.

I recently added #UVprinting to my maker workshop capabilities. So far, I'm pretty excited about the possibilities. One of the early projects I tested is printing on koozies, which I used to do with #htv. This is SO much easier than cutting, weeding, and pressing, and the results look (and feel) […]

You have a home charger? I only really ever charge to 100% at home in advance of a road trip. Sometimes, depending on available time, I'll go to about 90% when recharging while on said roadtrip.

Fun fact: I spent my Junior year book money on a brand-spankin' new CD player for my dorm room. Priorities. I had two CDs: Frankie and Sting. Of course, then, pizza money that year went to CDs, which cost around $25 at the time.

I don’t want to diminish anything Mamdani is doing, because I think he’s awesome. But in fairness, he inherited this program. He, gladly, didn’t impede it, but he also didn’t make it happen. The June deadline was in place long before he took office. Let’s please laud his actual successes!

How can the H2D, with all its sensors and cameras, fail to notice that the last job is still on the build plate? Instead, Bambu sent a nozzle clumping error after what could have been significant damage caused by attempting to print on top of the last job. #3dprinting

Rand Paul and The Rs on Homeland Sec committee, which just voted on straight party lines to refer Fauci for contempt, are an absolute kangaroo court. The Hollywood 10 were convicted of contempt during McCarthy days; and this will go down in history as a similar moment of opprobrium and insanity.

This is what my YouTube feed looks like nowadays.

A stylized thumbnail pokes fun at the over-used, sensationalist, highly stylized video thumbnails featuring bright, bold colors on a black background, neon outlines, bold text on what look like floating, painted banners. It feature a stylized images of a man pointing to a smaller version of this very thumbnail (which points to a smaller version, etc.). Under that a caption reads Thumbnailception! The other text objects read:

Overused? Absolutely.
Neon Glow
Bold Fonts
Paint Swish
High Contrast
Shock Value!
Outrageous Color!
Unnecessary Outlines

Lovely. Meanwhile, I can't get @xtool-official.bsky.social to remove AI-generated projects featuring expletives that they've promoted in broad email campaigns. Conclusion: community project oversight is a shit-show. Also: AI is making people lazy, companies greedy, and society stupid (unrelated?).

@ridwell.bsky.social I’m forever switching plastics that should be in one bag but were inadvertently placed in the other. So I engraved this handy sign in my workshop. Problem (largely) solved.

A recycling sign differentiating stretchy vs. non-stretchy recyclables sites above two filled bags hanging on a door.
