It’s been a minute and I don’t know if I ever did an #intro. I’m Dom, a #maker in SoCal. I can be found at a number of events like RRFs & many #MakerFaire events including the one I help organize, Maker Faire Orange County. I’m a #3DP enthusiast and also started 3DPOC, a monthly meetup here in OC.

I haven't settled on patterns yet. Right now I'm modifying the demo patterns that come with Pixelblaze.

Or will it need to be repaired professionally depending on local laws?

The kit makes sense. There are laws in places that don’t let unlicensed people mess around with mains power and the new bed is just that. Has to be delivered in a complete product. I wonder if they could release a DC bed version for the kits.

Sorry to hear! Not looking forward to a second round. My first battle wasn’t bad at all. I credit the vaccines for that.

Oh, and I have a couple of the signal wires backwards breaking the data chain.

Dom @geektoybox.com · 9h

It’s a power issue but I didn’t figure it out. On a whim, I tried running it on USB. HAHAHA

Dom @geektoybox.com · 9h

It’s a big old mess of wires. Let me clean it up a bit first. Haha

So I finally got around to troubleshooting my light project. I’m happy to say it’s finally doing exactly what it’s meant to! #3dprinted @prusa3d.com #Protopasta #maker #led #pixelblaze @katzcreates.bsky.social @geekmomprojects.com

The resources wasted on extra cops could be used to feed this people who are becoming desperate enough to steal FOOD. FUCKING FOOD. RIDICULOUS. www.foxla.com/news/califor... #fdt

If you’re a California resident, be sure to vote in the upcoming special election! If you need a little bling to get you motivated, we’ve got you covered with both ready-to-go small pins and solder-it-yourself kits! Kits are 50% off and assembled pins are 25% off. Happy voting!

Two white pins with blue text that says I Voted are held up in front of the State of CA website that has Nov 4 special election and Prop 50 info on it.

This is the people making the decision. It isn’t being dictated from the higher ups. The people will approve this measure because we can’t win the game if we follow different rules than our opponents.

Dom @geektoybox.com · 17d

Just the middle pole would qualify for your contest. HAHAHA

If I actually finish this, you're not going to want to print it. Lamp base in the works that clocks in at 525mm (just over 20 Freedom Units™ hahaha
