I designed a custom shift boot using Fusion to generate the pattern, used scrap denim from my hemmed jeans, and created a custom collar sleeve to tie it around the shifter shaft. It turned out amazingly and it gives my car a comfortable feel to it.

So I had Gemini create two front end games as a proof of concept, to learn more about how this works. I gave it the bare minimum prompts and it spit out very playable games entirely html/css/vue.js. It's scary how easy it was to do. Mitch3D.com/puzzle.html Mitch3D.com/wordoku.html

Anyone else having an existential crisis about AI lately? Like anyone with half a brain can write fully functional apps for very bespoke use-cases. Besides the economic and environmental impacts, I have anxiety of what this really means for humanity; good or bad.

My multiboard journey begins... The workbench had a standard pegboard backing but it wasn’t easy to customize so I fell into the multiboard rabbit hole. Its a free modular storage system using 3D printer optimized models. multibuild.io

I have a childhood dream project, I've wanted to build a lego train rail that goes around the perimeter of my room. I can 3D print mounts, but Lego is expensive and they're not powered rails anymore. I don't really want to get into HO scale hobby, maybe 3D printed train and tracks?

Open source hardware is awesome. I had a user on Printables make a feature suggestion to add a list of screw angles instead of just opposing sides and I was able to add and test it fairly quickly.

I used the EM3D Scanner App to get a rough mesh in Fusion for a sketch profile I could use to create a form-fitted handle. You use "Create Mesh Section Sketch" then "Fit Curves to Mesh Section" and trace a sketch line to follow the mesh profile. I find 3D scanner reverse engineering is very tedious.

Custom lampshade printed in vase mode. Fairly easy to design with a sketch and revolve pattern. Set extrusion width to 0.6mm with a 0.4mm nozzle. Perfect print with Prusa Core One.

I got a crt monitor that I dragged here when I moved but didn’t know what to do with it. Well I moved the Core One printer to the other side of the shelf and now use the crt as a secondary monitor. 1280x1024@60hz seems to be the sweet spot (even though it could do 1900x1200 somehow).

This is what happens when you leave your Prusa XL unattended! 🛠️ The Dummy 13 crew by Soozafone staged a takeover: the big boss runs the control panel, a techie tunes the toolchanger, and one guy is already ordering Prusament on his laptop. And the rest? Pure party mood! 🎸 1/2

Towel clip for oven handle with curves. Measure the square dimensions, guess the intersection points, and use fit point spline. Perfect fit on first print!

I started this shelf project about 6 months ago when I moved into my apartment. I developed a parametric dowel rod connector system to build it then I had the hardest time motivating myself to finish it. I had to problem solve since I built it with basic tools and my Mk4/Core One printing 6+kg PETG

I saw we're doing 2016 throwbacks. On this day 10 years ago, I was making the first prints on a Mendel 90 we built for the "How to build a RepRap 3D printer" class I taught at the Dallas Makerspace. I would have never guessed I'd be making a living working on 3D printers founded by RepRap today.

Clever @prusa3d.com Core One+ design. With 4 simple PETG printed parts, they were able to redesign the filament switch to disengage the ball detent, which usually restricts TPU. No extra hardware needed.

Finally after 6 months, I hung my reprack. I had to shorten it to 1.5m to fit above my desk. All of this I’ve acquired since I moved here, I guess working at a filament company isn’t too bad. @repkord.bsky.social

I ended up getting a new mobo because the Alienware board complained and this was a cheap upgrade. It has ARGB headers and two M.2 slots. I did some extra wire management so it’s clean. It’s much quieter and cooler than the Alienware aurora case.

The M1 MacBook Air (that you can still get at Walmart) is an incredible deal. Light gaming, Fusion, YouTube. The screen is amazing, the battery somehow lasts for a long time, and it barely gets warm under load. I’m not really an Apple fan but they nailed the dedicated ARM processors for portability.

I’m transplanting my Alienware aurora R10 desktop into a better case with better cooling options. The AIO water cooling is getting old and getting louder so to get better cooling I went with a Fractal Design North case and peerless assassin air cooling. It’s way more accessible and maintainable.

Typical only child, played with lego sets by myself (apparently trading potty training for lego kits since diapers were more expensive). Fascinated with our first computer (486 built from hand downs). Dad did electronics and car/motorcycle repair in the garage so I learned early on.

So Prusa released their Open Print Tag standard for NFC filament management, if you look at the specs, it's an ISO/IEC 15693 NFC tag with a specific NDEF message format. One interesting thing is a reserved for transmission_distance for HueForge prints, and material properties specs.openprinttag.org

The laser is now setup in my garage, using a exhaust box I created to fit under the garage door seal. It works, but I need a more powerful fan to pull away the smoke. But I was able to cut some acrylic pieces.

Mitch 3D @themitch22.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

I’m designing an exhaust vent that will let me use my laser in the garage without having to block or modify the door. I’ll have to see if it restricts the blower or I might need more positive pressure.
