This post has been a long while coming. I actually finished this quite some time ago but got busy with other things, work, binge-watching anime shows on Hulu, and building a wireless Arduino-based module for controlling a high-watt LED module I intend to use to provide light to the web camera pointed at the printer. […]
This post took a bit longer to get done because I took a bit longer to do it. Wait, that wasn’t helpful. Anyway, I tried something I was pretty sure wouldn’t work and didn’t. I hate being right all the time. Then, in spite of being tired, I rushed to get something simple together and […]
Wow … um, so I wrote the original draft of this post about 3 weeks ago. I intended to clean it up and post it within a couple of days of finishing my camera mount project but work got busy, I have a new manager who expects me to work. I know, what’s up with […]

Web Cam Positioner – Ball Joint At the end of my last post I mentioned I was already printing a ball joint. It’s not very big, it’s only intended to hold a web cam after all, so the print finished before I tucked in for the night. First I’d like to note that it printed […]
Preamble (or is it Pre Ramble) I’m experimenting with the format of my blog entries. I want it to be usable and consistent and if at all possible useful, educational and interesting and contribute to ending hunger and creating a lasting world peace but I’d be happy with interesting. I think a section approach is […]
I’m starting a new hobby. Technically, I suppose, I already did. I recently purchased a 3D printer. I originally thought all printers were 3 dimensional so I had to see what the difference was. I felt kind of stupid when I found out it printed 3 dimensional objects … and is itself (here I go […]
