I just realized I never posted anything about the results of my misadventures in nougat. Some of you got them in the mail this year, and I hope you enjoyed them because it was all very stupid. Cookie > Caramel > Nougat. #baking

I just realized that at some point MakerWorld started supporting parametric customization for Fusion360 models, which eliminates my only bottleneck in the OpenPegboard project. It's time to pound sand, Skadis! #3Dprinting

3D printing can result in a lot of useless crap. Show me your favorite prints that have proven to not be useless crap! I’ll go first. I designed this scoop to make it easier to get ice into my hydroflask. I’ve used it every day for years and it lives in my freezer. #3Dprinting

A black, 3D-printed scoop held in a hand, featuring visible horizontal layer lines and a custom, slightly tapered shape. The interior of the scoop is coated with white, granular ice residue.

the black 3D-printed scoop is shown in action. A hand holds the handle, tilting the scoop downward to pour a batch of crescent-shaped ice cubes into a stainless steel water bottle. The scoop’s tapered, funnel-like front design is positioned over the bottle's opening, effectively guiding the ice inside without spilling.

I would suggest getting yourself a husband who will bring you multiple consecutive days of pizza when you get sick, except I think there was only one and I got him. Sorry

Take a deep breath. Do you feel that? That sensation is called "now", and it's the only real thing you actually have. Stop spending so much energy on things before and after now.

My sister left a lunchables in my fridge. I’ve never had a lunchables. It’s now 2:30am, I’ve been cooking for the last 12 hours, and I’m now eating a lunchables in my bed. I used to think they were stupid. But I get it now. I get lunchables.

I’ve had this printer for like 6 years and while I only print a modest amount, I don’t think I’ve ever had to refill the ink. Plus it never seems to dry out or need serious maintenance. $400 at the time seemed like a lot to spend on a printer, but I get it now. Cheap printers are a scam.

Omg I did it. Nougat, like actual, bonafide candy bar short nougat. #baking

I’ve tried to keep my language PG on the internet, but I need to revise this. Nougat can seriously get completely and totally fucked. 😓 #baking

A discarded and failed attempt at nougat with bits of caramel stuck to it, messy and piled in a bowl.

Apropos of nothing, get bent, nougat!

This year’s christmas treats are absolutely kicking my ass. I’ve burned more caramel in the last 36 hours than I have in the last 10 years. I feel like I got kitchen-stupid over the summer or something.

William @williampetruzzo.com · 11/12/2025

I was asked to make Christmas themed versions of the tissue boxes. At least they're cute. People keep messaging me and asking if they can sell them. I have mixed feelings about that. #3Dprinting makerworld.com/en/models/21...

I finished my Christmas trees and they came out pretty good. Plus I leveled up in Fusion360 and Illustrator. 🎉 #3DPrinting

I made this Christmas tree model yesterday, and finally used the lamp kit that came with one of my printers at some point. It’s a little fragile and i want to tweak it before publishing it, but the fusion360 file is an absolute mess. #3Dprinting

We can all feel the difference between the broad category to which Jelly beans belong, and the almost entirely separate one where a chocolate bar belongs. Yet, there is no accepted language to distinguish them cleanly. This is a moral failing.

William @williampetruzzo.com · 20/10/2025

Hare brained idea to make my new microfiber cloth dispenser design quickly and cheaply skin-able without reprinting the whole main 150g unit worked perfectly. Gives me ideas for v2 of my tissue box design, too. #3Dprinting

I think there should probably be a German word for taking a nap in a cold room where exactly the right amount of your body is exposed to the cold air so that the rest of your body under piles of pillows or blankets or whatever can maximally appreciate the warm coziness.

The answer is no. But also the center of gravity is just too unforgiving so it’s back to the drawing board. #3DPrinting

How exactly did I miss this? youtu.be/rluJj3NEdQA?... First, this looks like a really interesting solution and I'm curious how it plays along with the AMS. Second, it's really refreshing to see a company 'announce' something in this way. They must've seen my post about Snapmaker. #3dprinting

I just took a roasting pan out of the oven. Stirred it for a second, then promptly forgot it was like 400 degrees and tried to pick it up bare handed. I am not a smart man.

Somebody want to print out the new handle-lid for the Halloween themed varieties? Thinking they’d make good trick-or-treat pales but would like some second opinions on durability. #3dprinting

I do not have many photographer/programmer-types among my followers. But if that describes you, you might be interested in a project I've been noodling on. Would love others to get involved. Open source alt to Imagen/Aftershoot editing. github.com/plymouthvan/... #photography #photographer #ai

Wow — okay, #photographers, it actually does work. I mean, I haven't given it a dataset large enough to know just how *well* it works, but if you hate spending like $1000-$4000/year on Imagen/Aftershoot, open sourcing this gives us a real, viable, open source pathway.

William @williampetruzzo.com · 26/08/2025

I got annoyed with AfterShoot at Imagen's exploitative pricing models and tried to soothe myself by vibe coding a local alternative called OSL and it... kind of works? 🫢

Wtf is going on in my back yard. Bailey chases off a cat stalking this bunny. Then I chase of Bailey taking too much interest in said bunny. Terrified bunny lets me move them someplace safe. Bunny #3 has entered the chat.

In the early morning hours Bunny #2 joined their sibling in what I assume are the endless fields of clover in the bunny afterlife. We returned them to the earth where they will live on in next year’s pepper plants.

I regret to report that bunny #1 has died. At least it was safe and warm when it did. That’s better than 99.999% of other bunnies, so at least that’s something.

Bailey found a rabbit nest and brought us two of the very tiny bunnies. So now we’re apex predator moms trying to nurse some prey animals back to health.

Nintendo is a unique company. No other inspires in me such hatred and admiration at the same time. I’m a millennial with money and it would be so easy to get me to give it to them. Just update QoL and a coat of paint on my nostalgia and I’ll buy all the same games again at $80 a pop.

I got two separate messages on Makerworld asking for halloween themed versions of the tissue boxes. This is my life now. Okay, so before I go burning 180g+ of filament, is this stupid? Does this work for the halloween vibe or is it too subtle? #3dprinting

What #blender needs more than anything is a cancel operation command. I can't tell you how many times I've had to force quit the application because I failed to accurately calculate just how crippling it would be to press some button or another.
