Flight In Croatia
I took my quad to Croatia with me and while out cyling one day we spotted a little ruined building up on a hill. The next day i set out on a mission to find it. It took my about two hours of cycling in the boiling sun to find a path there but felt…

Dishwasher Wheels
We have a dishwasher…but it’s a bit rubbish. Besides many other issues the biggest annoyance is that the wheels the carriages ride on constantly fall off. So lets fix that. The design of the part is simple and I actually took it as an opportunity for my partner to try her hand at CAD. We…

Creality Fan Mount
I have two problems with the fan mounts on the Creality printers. First the fan shroud, especially with any part cooling fans mounted to it, obscures all view of the nozzle. This makes it hard to observe print quality especially during the first few layers when they are most important. Second the design does little…

Fifine Mic Stand
Its 2020, Covid-19 is tearing across the country and with all the web calls I thought it was high time I got a decent microphone. Unfortunately the microphone I bought (The Fifine Usb Podcast Condenser Microphone for anyone interested) comes with a measly little tripod. Pletny stable enough but difficult to fit on an already…

Carbon Fiber Reinforcing 3D Prints
The Problem 3D prints are generally on the brittle side. Especially under tension between the layers. A brilliant way to get around this is to use flexible filaments. TPU, PP etc. These filaments are especially popular in the FPV world where they are used to mount cameras, protect electronics and often form the main cover…

TPU Canopy
Turns out, even when they’re mostly made of metal and carbon fiber, flying small tiny machines at speeds up to 100mph sometimes results in bits breaking. In the case of this post, the item in question was a plastic canopy for a 3″ quad. Normally, as someone who owns 3D printers, breaking something made of…

Printing Topology
I had the idea that it would be fun to print out a mountain. Specifically, Cader Idris, a mountain in Wales that I had walked up. I assumed that someone (probably smarter than me) had done this before. The good news is that they had but it took a bit of research to find the…

FPV Quadcopters
A while ago I made some tiny quadcopter frames and had great fun playing around with them. Over the past 6 months I’ve taken a break from posting (ahem…let the domain expire) and in that time I’ve dived headfirst into the hobby of FPV Quadcopters. I’m now pretty deep and I’ve got plenty to share…

“New” Printer
It’s about time I wrote this one up… Way back in December (yep, took me that long) I bought a new printer, a Craftbot Plus…that was broken. But it was cheap and I felt pretty confident I could fix it, eventually. What was wrong with it? Short answer, quite a lot. I found what was…

My Greatest Invention (yet?)
This is my hat. You may notice that it is a bobble hat (and is therefore particularly awesome). I especially like bobble hats. Perhaps I feel the addition of a the purely aesthetic feature stands out against my otherwise utilitarian attire. Perhaps the bobble serves to fulfil my desire to feel unique in the sea…
