William @williampetruzzo.com · 22/01/2026Not wanting to manually model threads for the thousandth time for this one stupid little clamp bracket lead to several four hours that maybe saves me 45 minutes over the next year. This is good and logical. 000
William @williampetruzzo.com · 21/01/2026I 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 110
William @williampetruzzo.com · 19/01/2026I 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 030
William @williampetruzzo.com · 30/12/20253D 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 360
William @williampetruzzo.com · 21/12/2025I’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. 200
William @williampetruzzo.com · 18/12/2025Omg I did it. Nougat, like actual, bonafide candy bar short nougat. #baking 280
William @williampetruzzo.com · 18/12/2025I’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 110
William @williampetruzzo.com · 11/12/2025I 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... 150
William @williampetruzzo.com · 08/12/2025I finished my Christmas trees and they came out pretty good. Plus I leveled up in Fusion360 and Illustrator. 🎉 #3DPrinting 360
William @williampetruzzo.com · 02/12/2025I 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 040
William @williampetruzzo.com · 20/10/2025Hare 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 170
William @williampetruzzo.com · 20/10/2025I’ll publish it sometime this week. I want to get a few more textures ready. 110
William @williampetruzzo.com · 20/10/2025I made a new thing for cycling through microfiber cloths. #3Dprinting 150
William @williampetruzzo.com · 02/10/2025I was trying re-use the pendant from the smaller camera. I have some bigger stronger magnets that I think would work, but they'd add almost 10mm to the thickness. It's not really an "action camera" set up, so I'm going to try with the path of least resistance and just experiment with a lanyard. 020
William @williampetruzzo.com · 02/10/2025So the actual goal was to use magnets so that the pendant could be used under a shirt, and the camera attached over the shirt. Works great with the tiny camera, but the 360 camera is just too heavy. So, either would need to design a custom pendant and or try another approach. 110
William @williampetruzzo.com · 02/10/2025The answer is no. But also the center of gravity is just too unforgiving so it’s back to the drawing board. #3DPrinting 150
William @williampetruzzo.com · 02/10/2025I'm going to find out if 4 little 6mm magnets are enough to hold up my expensive new 360 camera. Wish me luck. #3Dprinting #insta360 260
William @williampetruzzo.com · 19/09/2025Anyone interested in the story of the time I fell in the water while shooting a wedding? #weddingphotography www.instagram.com/reel/DNoiwnf... 000
William @williampetruzzo.com · 13/09/2025Now it’s a trash can. I should get into fishing or something. These models have ruined my life. #3Dprinting 060
William @williampetruzzo.com · 13/09/2025Surely there is no reason this won't print without supports. Surely. #3Dprinting 130
William @williampetruzzo.com · 03/09/2025I finished the first round of the #halloween collection a handful of people asked for. It's amazing how much time I will waste doing something mostly pointless if just one or two internet strangers imply that they think I'm special. 😅 #3Dprinting #makerworld makerworld.com/en/models/17... 242
William @williampetruzzo.com · 31/08/2025Somebody 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 120
William @williampetruzzo.com · 30/08/2025I stayed up way too late working on this stupid halloween bats design and I still hate it. #3dprinting #blender 340
William @williampetruzzo.com · 24/08/2025Wtf 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. 060
William @williampetruzzo.com · 24/08/2025Bailey 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. 030
William @williampetruzzo.com · 19/08/2025I 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 110
William @williampetruzzo.com · 15/08/2025It would be my 128th birthday. I get a notification from MakerWorld. I climb out of my coffin, open Blender. Apply a vintage plaid texture to a plastic cylinder, update the model listing. Print. Take a picture. Update listing. Go back to being dead. #3dprinting makerworld.com/en/models/11... 261
William @williampetruzzo.com · 13/08/2025I'm honestly afraid at this point that the only noteworthy thing I've ever done, and ever will do, in my life are these stupid tissue boxes. Anyway, people keep asking for new ones so I guess I'll keep making them. #3Dprinting makerworld.com/en/models/11... 080
William @williampetruzzo.com · 25/07/2025I have a client who needed a way to define their geographic service zones based on zip code boundaries, so I came up with an app that would do the calculations and define the zones automatically based on distance ranges. Works really well. Exports to JSON. Saved them like $200/year. 🎉 #webdev 030
William @williampetruzzo.com · 30/06/2025It’s basically peanut butter, or just peanuts, in powder form, with almost all the fat removed. Then you can turn it back into something peanut butter-like by adding moisture. Water, oil, yogurt, milk, whatever you want. 110
William @williampetruzzo.com · 11/05/2025I’m embracing chaos #gardening this year. After my seedlings became pathetic and joyless failures, I decided to just throw them wherever. Randomly behind the shed. In a pot that’s not big enough. Amongst some shrubs. Whatever. They can keep the volunteer pumpkin in my front flower bed company. 020
William @williampetruzzo.com · 11/05/2025Welp, my seedlings were a bust. I think cheaping out on potting soil finally bit me. Oh well. Might still plant some of them just to see what happens later in the season. I went and bought plants and now they're in the ground and I am temporarily content. #gardening 130
William @williampetruzzo.com · 11/05/2025I think it's been too long since I've printed something not toilet paper adjacent. Anyway, I made a new style called Topography based on a user suggestion. I a little bit hate these things now. Go print one so that it's not a waste of time: makerworld.com/en/models/11... #3dprinting 150
William @williampetruzzo.com · 10/05/2025Four new tool brands added to the toilet paper protector. This is absolutely not how I should be spending my time, on a model like 7 people have liked. 😅 #3Dprinting 282
William @williampetruzzo.com · 06/05/2025I finally published my job site toilet paper protectors, thanks to a nudge from @ubermeisters.bsky.social. Today I updated with three additional brands. So now there's DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Kobalt and Hercules, and thanks to my completionist pathology, 13 more are on the way. #3dprinting 570
William @williampetruzzo.com · 30/04/2025Bailey went under sedation today and then derped all afternoon. He she is not realizing her tongue is sticking and and kind of looking like she has lips. #dogsofbluesky 1100
William @williampetruzzo.com · 22/04/2025These tomato babies weren’t really ready for up-potting, but I was and also who cares. Meanwhile, 20 feet away there are literally hundreds of volunteers from last year’s garden that have already outpaced my starts. Wtaf 😅 #gardening #tomatoes 230
William @williampetruzzo.com · 25/03/2025This reemerging in my shuffle tonight might be the source of an existential panic I’m experiencing as the latent-17 year-old-with-unfinished-business that I keep locked away inside me is staging a coup and attempting to wrest control of my consciousness. 130
William @williampetruzzo.com · 19/03/2025It’s a bit janky but it just has to not fall over for about 5 weeks. I’ve got sprouts in more than half the pods! This is when I start having to remind myself that checking actually makes it take longer. #gardening 080
William @williampetruzzo.com · 18/03/2025I'm just a few hundred bucks away from another X1c and then Bambu teases multi-head printing. My husband is going to be so mad about my choices. #3Dprinting 2140
