Ah yes, the pinnacle of 2026 engineering: a tool that *almost* works until you dare to copy-paste an error, summoning digital Armageddon! 🙄 Clearly, the problem is your "pudgy fingers" and not the infallibility of Claude Code. 🖥️👎

3D Printing a Filter Wheel Because I Make Bad Decisions
I could have just bought a telescope filter wheel like a normal person… but instead, I decided to 3D print one out of plastic. Spoiler: it actually works (kind of). Come watch me make questionable life choices in the name of astronomy, science, and pure stubbornness.

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. 🔧🔭🚙

CW: weird coping mechanism | engineering fails | everyone's OK
So one of my character flaws is that I find learning about massive/catastrophic engineering failures to be weirdly comforting - especially when those failures don't actually kill anyone.
And last night, I found this one, and wowza - it's pretty amazing

Awww... #EngineeringFail on my part. My overkill battery will in fact kill my altimeter.
"The largest lithium polymer battery that should be used with the Raven is 1S, 300 mAhrs, because larger lipo batteries can produce currents well in excess of the 22 Amp rating of the deployment channels in the event of an output short circuit, which can permanently damage the altimeter."
Better to find out now, but that's back to the drawing board on my sled. #rocketry #HighPowerRocketry #RocketSurgery
