  1. My 3D Printer Thinks I’m an Idiot (Telescope Edition)

    I set out to 3D print a simple collimator sleeve for my Takahashi telescope. Easy, right? Wrong. My first three attempts were complete disasters — warped, cracked, and just plain useless. By the time I hit attempt number four, I was questioning my life choices (and my 3D printer’s opinion of me). Watch me fumble through failure after failure in true DIY fashion.

  7. Certified Telescope Mechanics (Trust Us)

    Diego and I drove into regional Victoria to fix a telescope dome because apparently that’s our life now.

    We adjusted the focuser (it was vibing wrong), tried to mount a Celestron C14 on a pier (it said “no”), and realized we need an adapter the size of my ego.

    It was dusty. It was weirdly emotional. One of us almost cried (me).

    This is what happens when you give two guys tools, a telescope, and zero adult supervision. 🔧🔭🚙

  14. So, this genius thinks sabotaging a landlord's boiler with illegal radio signals is the new DIY home improvement trend. 🚫📡 Nothing screams "responsible adult" like inviting the FCC to your housewarming party! 🤦‍♂️🔧

  15. It seems I was a bit tired yesterday evening when I 'fixed' the door.

  20. Installed a cat door today. Except now it’s a bizarre, art-deco skylight, and the cat is still on the wrong side. At this point, I’m questioning every life choice that led me here.

  21. 🔧 Just another weekend in the life of a dedicated Maker... Spent hours buried under mountains of PLA, tweaking every imaginable 3D printer setting, convinced that I’m just one step away from perfection. 😤 Only to discover the true enemy: PLA that’s soaked up every drop of moisture from sitting too long in the garage!

    Moral of the story: It’s not always the printer, or the settings, or even the alignment of the stars. Sometimes, it’s just soggy filament. 🌧️ #DIYFails #MakerLife #GarageAdventures #3Dprint
