3D Printed Pizza Keychains + A Pizza Box

I printed out a set of pizza keychains with a little pizza box for storage and my daughter is getting a kick out of it! I hope it gets her more interested in designing stuff and printing it herself (or even fixing her own broken items). It makes a nice little gift for her friends, too.

Spoke Design Pen Collection

I love great stationery, so I am happy to share that two Spoke Design pens just joined the family, providing company to the first fountain pen I picked up from them a while back. A great pen adds so much joy to the writing process!

A Little Brontosaurus Has Joined the Herd

The Prusa Core One continues to amaze! One of my prints was this little Brontosaurus to add to my daughter’s collection.

3D Printed Monstera Leaf

I printed out a monstera leaf soap dish today (my daughter loves the plant)! Going to have to get a greenish color, to make it look more like a leaf (luckily I have some emerald PETG filament I can use). I’ll post the time lapse on YouTube either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. 🍃

Handmade Coffee Cup

I love the handmade Latvian coffee cup that I purchased with my dark roast from Foxen coffee. Always makes me happy to see the little fox looking up as I finish my drink! 🤙🏻

I am loving the Polymaker filament…the blue red changes when you look at the peacock from different angles.

Definitely going to have to read this book with my daughter! 😂

I apologize for the window reflection…gotta catch the rainbow shots when I can! 🤙🏻

Sadly, the trip to LIH today was rather quick! Love doing these quick jumps to the neighbor islands to do some site surveys and talk with my coworkers! 🤙🏻

Aloha OGG!

The amount of vog at KOA was pretty intense. I was only there for 3 hours and the visibility was poor + you had that slight burn when breathing the air!

3D-printer Mini-duck! Wife approved!

Baby Crystal Dragon

One more print has been completed! The baby crystal dragon from Cinderwings3D! I need to dig out some more colorful filaments, though!

I completed the printing of an articulated Pterodactyl keychain and am looking forward to sharing some of the other prints in the near future. I also still need to complete testing of the Moose 3D Scanner…

This little fly is one of the odder things I have printed…it goes with a Venus fly trap plant that can be used as bag clips.

My Studio Neat Keen has arrived! The cutter looks amazing in person and, in my humble opinion, the photos are not a good representation of how good it looks. I am looking forward to putting this tool through its paces and will then be able to provide a bit more feedback.

Mahalo, Studio Neat, for another great product and Kickstarter.

Another day, another trip (work related this time)! I am heading out to PHX and can’t wait to arrive as it has been a while since I have seen my friends and colleagues there.
