Full Scale Totem
I really enjoyed the look and quality of the Monument Valley Totem model I printed at half scale, and decided shortly after that print that a full scale print of the model was in order. I quickly printed the first pieces, and it was clear that at full scale, this was going to be a large Totem:…
Seven Oases – Print One
We’re building a city – the haven of the Seven Oases. Elevated walkways, docks, and camps dot the shores of the lakes that are fed by springs deep under the sands. Venture too far from the shade of the trees, and the protection of the walkways and docks, and the dangers of the desert are bound to…
Wood-fill Jam and 0.4mm Drill Bits
I was experimenting with Hatchbox Wood-fill PLA, printing up some dungeon accessories, when an unfortunate thing happened. The wood fill cooled in the extruder, over heated with a small backup at the nozzle, and BAM- fully jammed hotend. The Prusa i3 ships with a small packet containing two acupuncture needles, which are the ideal size for clearing…

BearBook Air
The 10 year old and I have strange conversations as I’m turning out his light and closing his door at bed time. Half stall-tactics, half clearing his brain from the day, these sometimes short (sometimes not) conversations range far and wide, from dissecting the day, to gaming, to story telling and general goofiness. One Friday night the…
