Decided to finally post this! Lots of build photos. As many of you know, I like working with craft (EVA) foam to build stuff. You might remember I built my daughter some Wonder Woman amour out of this stuff but decided to try and build something bigger using thicker stuff. […]
Most of you know that my daughter Emma is majoring in Journalism at UNT but she is also minoring in Theatre. She loves being “behind the scenes” and in High School she worked her way up from Stage Tech to the Stage Director for a couple of major shows. She’s […]
This is why I have this printer – Rapid prototyping. Now I can use a CAD program and begin building my own designs for my needs. My first attempt was to create a solution for a very primitive method of carrying around some basic necessities. I have a power hungry […]
I’ve been posting a lot of what I’ve been 3D printing and many of you have been nice and liked my posts. But I know deep down inside some of you are thinking… “Yeah – that’s a great toy…but how would I use it?” Well, watch the short video below. […]
PRACTICAL 1-14-19 So this has been my most ambitious 3D print yet. I wanted a protective case for my GoPro Hero (small cube action camera) that would protect the lens more since I was going to mount this on some of my RC cars. I’ve been careless before and I […]

FUN 12-31-18 Moving along in my 3D print journey. I printed two more items prior to the year ending in 2018. A Celtic ring (which I had to resize) and the Serenity Space ship from my beloved show. I was impressed with the amount of detail I was able to […]
12/26/18 FUN So many of you know that I collect action figures. NOT DOLLS! Some of my favorite are from ALIENS movie (made reference to them here). I have them on my my desk. One thing I’ve always wanted for authenticity’s sake, is a helmet for Private Hicks (he’s in […]
12-27-18 FUN So, I’m gonna start titling some of the stuff I’ve been printing. I’ll be classifying them as “Fun” or “Practical.” What does that mean? I’m printing something that’s fun or there a need for it…practical. But enough of that – people have been asking me, “Is it expensive […]
