Replaced the 16bit circuit board to a new 32bit board on my Ender 3 Pro 3D printer. Nothing wrong with the current board but upgrading (small cost) included these benefits: Quieter stepper motors (not as much noise when printing) Enable thermal runaway (printer shuts down if the heating sensor malfunctions […]
Worked on another “Practical 3D” build. My current camera does not allow for the back screen to flip up and over for me to properly frame myself when filming myself. Thinking of a periscope – I found these objects online and viola. I could buy one of these online (approx […]
Give the video a minute to load. I had seen how some folks had strapped an action figure (Superman) just in front of the Drone’s camera. This gave the illusion that Superman figure was flying. So I wanted to try this on a smaller scale. Using a Lego Superman I […]
My Daughter wants me to drill a hole in one of her reusable bottles to stick in a straw. So we ordered a new cap and I needed to find the center on top and bottom. I could have bought one… But what’s the fun in that when you have […]
My buddy gave me a miniature for my birthday. It’s actually called, “Drone Pilot” – well, I just had to 3D print a seat for him on my Mavic Mini and create the short video below. Still a kid at heart… Gilberto
Purchased a small “mini computer.” It’s called a Raspberry Pi 4 (version). I’m very interesting in monitoring my long 3D prints so this little tiny computer (along with a good web cam) will allow me to send prints wirelessly to my 3D printer and most importantly – monitor them. If […]
Having some fun with pictures and my 3D printer. Took this image of my Emma and Bandit and created a Lithophane. Give the short video a few seconds to load. “A lithophane (French: lithophanie) is an etched or molded artwork in very thin translucent porcelain that can be seen clearly […]
Finally getting around to printing with this new Gold filament. Man I love this stuff! Experimenting 3D printing in “VASE mode” whic, which means after the base is printed, the nozzle traces a single continuous path (spiral) until it finishes the model. “Very mesmerizing – see the short movie below” But […]
Wanted to get organized so I fired up the Ender 3 Pro and printed up some stuff for my Mavic Mini. See the gallery below and click on the images for a larger view. Gilberto
