This 3D printed animatronic necklace concept really did come to life!
Sometimes when you're sketching it can feel like the reality is a million miles away. But every journey has to start with a single step.
I'll be running demos at @hackaday-feed.bsky.social Supercon 2025, be sure to come say hi!

Does 3D printing making the impossible... Possible??
I'm so excited to have this interactive cast silver necklace with me next weekend at @hackadayofficial.bsky.social Supercon 2025. I'll be wearing it around, talking about how I did it, and giving live demos of the functionality!

The event itself was everything I hoped for, full of incredible makers, engineers, & friends. I'm already preparing for next year! I never got to go to Maker Faire in it's heyday, but @opensaucelive.bsky.social is pretty close!

I'm a bit late, but man was @opensaucelive.bsky.social a blast!
My excitement for the event started before the weekend even began, as I got to join Mr. Volt and have a hand in getting his fully animatronic Claptrap from Borderlands, ready to go in time. Yours truly got to do most of the painting!

Honest post time! 😱
You may have noticed a lot less posting this year, & not much new work. Don't worry, you're not the only one who misses seeing new projects here.
The truth is, this year has been more challenging than I could have anticipated, and it's had an impact on my ability to create.

Thanks to @katzcreates.bsky.social and their amazing workshop at @oshwassociation.bsky.social summit, I'm now back in the ceramics game!
Before moving into your tiny house, I prepared some cups that I never fired. I think 4 years of drying time is enough, right? :D
