Glowforge ‘Pass-Through’ Hack: Tricking the Front Flap of the Glowforge with Magnets to Increase Capacity
The Glowforge Basic does not have the pass-through feature of the Glowforge Pro but with this magnet hack, you can trick the front flap to think the lid is shut fully, allowing you to “pass-in” larger material than usual.
Creality Ender 3 3D Printer Kit Review
Ender 3 plus Ollie the Cat for Scale The Ender 3, as the name suggests, is the improved successor of the Creality Ender 2 3D printer kit, with a larger build area (~220mm+ x 220mm+ x 250), but still with the aluminium extrusion based semi-built-kit construction of the rest of their 3D printer kit line. Back in […]
Glowforge Review – Glowforge Laser Engraver Impressions, Plus Glowforge Versus Leading Laser Cutters
Glowforge Review – Independent review of the Glowforge laser engraver covering the Glowforge Basic and comparing against competing laser cutters
Laser Cut Box for the Massive Adafruit Arcade Button
The “Massive Adafruit Arcade Button” is one of my favorites, I just find it comically large. Therefore whenever I get a chance to specify this particular button, I jump at it. As luck would have it, I am building a project for an event the company I now work for is holding. I will write […]
Build a Macro Keyboard “Stream Deck” with Raspberry Pi Zero and Hyperpixel 4.0 Graphical Touch Screen
Can you build a DIY version of the Elgato Stream Deck? Many people could tell this is what I was building up to. I think we are getting a lot closer. This, of course, continues my previous Raspberry Pi Zero keyboard emulation article. Where that project used an obnoxiously large red button, however, this project is all […]
Detect (and list) Raspberry Pi and other boards on your network
I am in the fun position of having a Raspberry Pi project to build for my day job. It brought to light a familiar challenge of how to trouble-shoot and connect to headless Raspberry Pi boards when you don’t necessarily know the host or IP address. Instead of grabbing a HDMI cable (and converter), monitor, […]
USB Keyboard Emulation with the Raspberry Pi Zero
One of the many productivity-boosters my nerd friends look to is text expanders and keyboard shortcuts. You know, enter a combination of keypresses, and out pops a signature, particular animated gif, or an often-used regular expression. I was about to launch into setting something like this up, and then Amazon Prime Day reminded me of […]
Best K40 Laser Upgrades – Upgrading my Laser Engraver Part 3
I am on a mission to make my Chinese K40 Laser Engraver work like a much more expensive USA name-brand machine. Update to Part 2 – Brain Boosting Previously, I bought and installed a new mainboard of electronics, and a filter for the pungent smoke. I am happy to say, while the filter still feels […]
Modify STL CAD files for CNC or 3D Print using Python Programming
We are pretty familiar at this point with the 3D design creation workflow. Drawing, dragging and dropping CAD files using a mouse and a package such as Fusion 360, or a browser-based application, such as Onshape. What, though, if you have to create a whole bunch of personalised objects? Opening, editing, exporting doesn’t take long […]
