Working Too Much

I know it looks like I've been slacking off here, but sadly I've been working almost 7 days a week so I haven't had much spare time. Also I blew out the motherboard in one of my printers and had to fix that. At any given time I have a dozen projects in progress not related to 3D printing. But, I am filling my idea book with several good designs that I plan to release. Believe it or not, I have produced most of my models using the lowly TinkerCad. I've crashed the system multiple times because I have reached the limit on what it can do. To breach those limitations I am moving up to FreeCAD.  Seems pretty easy and my models come out much nicer. Stay tuned.

 Just getting started here. Deciding on a plan for the right layout and got some css and html to write as well as some graphics and icons to design. This isn’t my first, second, of even 100th website. Could be a little while. We shall see. What I do promise is to give it to you straight. No influencer garbage.  What you will get is a taste of my own experience, science, and opinions. I’m notoriously cheap, but when I spend money I do my research and weigh the cost versus the quality. You’ll soon know what I know, which is what works for the right price. Maybe you won’t agree with my take on some topics, and thats fine. I’m entitled to my opinion, and you’re entitled to be wrong… or right. If you give me a better solution, I will evaluate it and I may agree with you. I’m loyal to no brand. I know a Toyota is a high quality car, and I know a Lexus is a Toyota under the hood. They both appeal to different customers: one who wants bang for thier buck, and the other who likes to wear their

One USB Cable To Rule Them All

Yes, I solved the  3D Printing USB Cable Problem .  As many have experienced, USB connectivity to many printers has a lot of issues. Either your printer is not even detected, or the connection is dropped and your printer stops printing. This is especially common if you use the Raspberry Pi because it does not come with a shielded case to protect from EMF interference. Now a lot of veteran 3D Printing hobbyists will say the problem is that you are using a low quality cable. This is simply not the case. The cable has to be wired differently and shielded using two methods combined. I'm going to show you how to turn the most dirt cheap cable from the dollar store into the best 3D printing cable ever. I've made several, and they never drop connection or not detect my printers. Unfortunately this will require me to make a YouTube video because building the cable is slightly confusing for the average person. I have no aspirations to become a YouTuber although I have had many YouTube c

Function over form

 Got my first three articles posted. I re-read and tweak them to correct grammar and what not as I go. Keeping the format simple for now to make sure the links and menus stay functional in both the mobile and desktop versions. 85% of people on the web access websites via their phone these days, or I so read somewhere.  I’m not sure if thats true, but I know many people who don’t even own a laptop or desktop or even a tablet. I’ll spruce things up with some nice icons and graphics when I have time to design them. I’m big on designing all art, taking all photos, and creating all my own 3D models so that I am the sole copyright holder and I don’t forget to credit someone.  More to come. I have a few days off work, so I’ll be adding some new models to Thingiverse and writing more articles.
