Music Book Page Holder / Clip
Another thing I made for my own use then flipped to sell, a sturdy music book page holder.
Kinect Tripod Mount
Q: Ok, so now you have a 3d printer in your house. What do you print? A: More 3d printers! So we have that joke finally out of the way. How about a tripod mount for the (then) shiny new Kinect?
First Order Tool Access, MakerBot Cupcake
I built Cupcake #235 and in my first few prints discovered it required maintenance, adjusting, tweaking, etc, to make a good print. I designed and shared some first order tool holders that made my life a bit easier.
A clean Studio is a Happy Studio
Some days when I get frustrated with a project or a client or just plain adulting, I take a mental break by reorganizing my studio. I get way more work done in a clean studio then when it’s a total mess. It’s also a safer studio — tools where they are supposed to be, no […]
Slight warifuru sidetrack
I put a lot of effort in to the front end of warifuru looking at use cases, other software, and how people use laser cutters.  Also did some crash-course learning of Qt5 — which I like way more than Cocoa/iOS — and got a sketch together that could parse DXF in to an abstract model […]
almost a winner!
Came in as a runner-up in the Shapeways/DJI contest. Here’s my entry, I’ll post the buoy/bomb to Thingiverse in the near future.
Focus and adjustment tools for the lasersaur
tldr; make or buy Lasersaurs have a manual focus: you need to loosen a screw, adjust the height of the lens based on the material you’re cutting, then tighten the screw. I was having some focusing problems where the lens wasn’t perfectly perpendicular with the incoming laser and the bottom of the focusing tube would […]
warifuru features wishlist
I learn a lot by observing the process of how other designers and engineers actually do their work. Here’s a look at mine, this is my catch-all outline of desired features (as of today) for warifuru. I keep this list in OmniGraffle but what I should do is start a bug/features tracking system.  Sourceforge has […]
warifuru personas^h^h^h^h^h^h^h end users
(I know, I know, that leaves us with two spaces between “warifuru” and “end”, but “^hend ” is a little harder to read. Nobody under the age of Grampa Simpson even gets that joke in the first place.) So, one of my first questions when I was thinking up features for warifuru was, “who is […]
warifuru – a new interface for laser cutters
I started using laser cutters a decade ago and was a little surprised at the primitive controlling software. Our big-money, brand-name laser cutter came with a printer driver for Windows and nothing else. We did all our work in Illustrator, saved a copy to a flash drive, copied it to the PC in front of […]
