Terracotta Army – Warrior 4
The 10 year old has a group project (we’ve already begun to teach him to despise group projects) at school researching technology in ancient China. Fortuitously we recently visited the Terracotta Army traveling exhibit at the Virgina Museum of Fine Arts, so the topic was fresh in our minds. As luck would have it, some items from…
Squishy Owl
The test print of the NinjaFlex went smoothly, so onto the squishy owl. This is a Christmas present for the 5 year old. A few false starts, and some fiddling with live z-tuning, and things were printing well. The first print is nearly perfect, except for the top of the head, where there are too few layers,…

Bestiary – Ghosts
Why wouldn’t you want to have a set of green ghosts around? Especially if your adventurers might be snooping around tombs. Ancient tombs, at that. There may even be mummies about. Boo.

Monument Valley – Totem
Everyone in the house has played, and often continues to play, Monument Valley. It felt like the house needed a Totem friend of its own. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwyer Devices (@dwyerdevices) This Totem is at half scale from the original model, primarily to speed up printing time. View this…
