For one of my best friends and his 40th birthday, I made this modded Gameboy with a new display and 3D printed a frame to showcase it. It took me a few months to get everything together, but it turned out pretty cool.

And the dock housing is complete. I'm quite pleased with how it came out. It feels stable enough. Now I need to get the MacBook up off the desk and attach the power brick to the desk underside.

Those project phases are going to have to wait for a while, though. Next week is a travel week.

The first version of my #musicassiatant Remote for my son is working successfully.

I have planned some software improvements, such as faster artwork rendering and a settings menu. After these improvements, I will make the model and code #opensource.

Of course, I have to buy more Audio CDs for my son. 😉

How is there still 5 hours left on this print?

I thing I ask myself every time I fire up the 3D printer.

This is a new one. I open a sealed spool of filament. Printing with it clogs the printer. I examine the spool, it's full of ... something. I open another one and it's the same.

Factory sealed, still vacuumed spools. #3dprinting

Phase3D has secured a Department of the Air Force contract to apply its Fringe Inspection platform to ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). These advanced materials are used in turbine blades, thermal protection for hypersonic vehicles and gas turbines, as they can withstand extreme temperatures. The inspection system will enable real-time quality control during manufacturing. https://3dprint.com/330720/phase3d-gets-air-force-contract-for-real-time-cmc-inspection/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Aerospace

Work in progress photos. The Cat Tongue grip tape works great. I have to reprint parts of the thing, though, as the monitor stand doesn't quite fit the tray. (I printed lots of test fit pieces, but not enough. 😬)

The Wandering Hour Clock is complete.

This one had a long gestation. I got the IKEA BONDIS back in 2023, then tried and failed to find a high torque radio-controlled movement, and put the project on the shelf. I decided to resume it a couple of months ago, ordered a non-radio movement from England, and did the final assembly this morning.

It was supposed to be a gift, but Spousey has claimed it. The digits are glow-in-the-dark.
