It's a frickin' LASER beam... FIRE THE LASER!

Just cut the floor plate for my delta robot using the laser cutter at the Dallas Makerspace.

Business Card Cases

Here are some business card cases printed by request.

The hinge nubs are made by melting/bonding raw 3mm filament into the case with a soldering iron, then trimming excess with a X-Acto blade.  This makes a solid hinge and appears to be more durable than printing the nubs.

The model can be found on Thingiverse.

More Fun with 3D Printing

Just finished designing and 3D printing a button insertion tool for a friends photo booth business.  Buttons are swapped out based on the customers request... Sepia/Color/Black & White.  This tool allows one to pull and place the nut on the button from inside the cabinet without someone having to hold it from the other side of the bulkhead.

Father's Day 2013

I was just given the most awesome Father's Day gift. My wife and son put together a custom zombie survival kit. We'll be well prepared (with candy) for the coming apocalypse.
