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!

Introducing the most extra 3D printed necklace you've ever seen. 🤣 Contains 3 motors, over a pound of sterling silver, and a whole lot of my blood, sweat and tears.

Full build video now live on my YouTube channel!

In other news, it fukken WORKS and I've successfully made a tiny stained glass window for my beetle's abdomen. 😍

The Clean Air Necklace is back and it's got upgrades! 🤩

It's coming with me to @opensaucelive.bsky.social next week, so make sure to come find me if you're going to be there! See how good (or bad!) the air quality REALLY is in San Mateo. 😉

Hey, I wanted an upgrade, okay? 😂

I think even if I HADN'T replaced my Prusa MK3S with the MK4S, I'd have wanted to upgrade the MK4. The upgrade kit was easy and straightforward, and in the end, I had something pretty groovy. 😉

What's better than Christmas day? 3D printer upgrades day. 😍

I am so excited to get my workshop up to date with @prusa3d.com MK4S printers, and my first ever MMU! I realise that the printers don't actually LOOK that different. 😂 But trust me, that MK3S to MK4S upgrade is a huge jump!

Printing 1.8mm extrusions with 1.75mm filament on a regular 3D printer?! 😱 You betcha!

I've had this 1.8mm CHT nozzle for ages, but feared trying for the fact that it claimed to push out lines BIGGER THAN THE FILAMENT. Turns out, it works like a champ!

What would you print with a 1.8mm nozzle?

It's the last day of 2024!! 😱 What the heck did I even get up to this year?!

This year hasn't gone to plan at ALL, but I still made some pretty awesome things. Shoving a year's worth of work into 30 seconds isn't exactly easy, but I think this gives you a pretty good idea. 😂

See y'all in 2025! 😘
