Marlin 2.0 and E3D Bigbox Update
Finally had time to finish the port and doing some testing. If you want to help, here’s the link/branch: https://github.com/allartburns/Marlin/tree/bugfix-bigbox
Lasersaur ported to Ubuntu 16
I’ve been having annoying reboot problems with the stock lasersaur distribution. It’s probably my own damn fault, I fiddled with a package contents or installed a buggy version of something ~3 years ago. So there are also a number of security patches and software updates I’d like to have on all my digifab hardware. I […]
Thermal qualities of E3D’s Edge Filament
I’m making some containers for a client who needs to evaporate water from a solution to get the weight of the solids. It’s straightforward high school chemistry: weigh container add solution dehydrate water in a special enclosure weigh container + solids now you have the weight of the solids. The problem they have is that […]
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.

Looking at the new lasersaur API and thinking about other […]
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 […]
