Hey Folks! Glad you found my site. I hope to begin to catalog my adventures here. I’ll try and document things I’ve made and stuff I’m involved with. I’m not sure how organized this’ll be, bear with me, rawr!

Carpuride GPS Mount for a Motorcycle
I use a Carpuride GPS on my motorcycle, which I had been mounting with a Ram ball attachment. The problem is it kept slipping and rotating downward toward the gas tank — not exactly what you want when you’re trying to navigate on the road.

Upgrading to a Prusa Core One+
After a long while on the MK4S I finally upgraded to a Prusa Core One+. The move to a CoreXY machine has been something I’d been thinking about for a while and the Core One felt like the natural next step — staying in the Prusa ecosystem means my MMU3 transfers over, which was a big part of the decision.

Building a 10" Minirack

So I worked out how you build a design in onshape CAD that makes a box but can then lay the material out flat for the cutting.

Leather Glasses Cases
This year for x-mas I decided I’d dig out my old leather tools and make people something. There’s a great creator I’ve been watching on youtube Tony See. I saw his video on a fairly simple glasses case. Purchasing the pattern from him on etsy was under $5. I ended up making 7 of them in total.
