To start with: Secondly, this is what happens when you leave a print running and go to work: So maybe that doesn't happen all the time, but I sure did waste a lot of wood filament. I was in the process of printing a wall mount for my Rift and touch controllers. I originally downloaded … Continue reading Printing a Mount for the Oculus Rift

UX/UI Design through a DesignLab Course
I decided to take a UX/UI design course because it's a topic I've always been interested in. As an architect, it is my job to determine how a person uses and interacts with a space (in my case, a physical building or place). However, I am very interested in virtual interaction, particularly in VR, and … Continue reading UX/UI Design through a DesignLab Course
A Throw Back to Learning Maya 2014
I had such a blast doing these tutorials by John Aurtur Mercader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJESazJYSnk I completed this tutorial in 2014, but I was reminded due to my reignited interest in Autodesk modeling software, including Maya and now 3dsMax. I ended up with a model I was pretty happy with (the jean texture needs work, but hey, … Continue reading A Throw Back to Learning Maya 2014
Experimenting with Wood Filament
I've always wanted test wood filament on my personal 3D printer; I had a chance in college to use it on the machines in fab shop and loved how it looked and felt. Most wood filaments are primarily PLA with some wood mixed in and the filament I decided to purchase was no exception. I … Continue reading Experimenting with Wood Filament
Example Prints
Short post- but I wanted to show some of my recent prints. Check out this D&D dice roller I printed. It turned out beautifully (gray PLA, set at 20% infill): Here is an actual useful print, mounts for my brother's router: In use:
Documenting my Failures (and ultimate Success) with the Prusa Printer
As many of you know from my previous post, I left off discussing the misalignment of my Pinda Probe over the print bed. I wasn't sure how big of an issue it was going to be, until I tried calibrating the XYZ axis. The nozzle began hitting the bed after the 3rd pinda position and … Continue reading Documenting my Failures (and ultimate Success) with the Prusa Printer
Regarding my Prusa i3 MK2S
Hi all! I apologize for the delayed post, for as you know, I have been quite busy with my new Prusa printer.

My first personal 3D printer…
Short post- but I purchased my very first personal 3D printer! A Prusa i3 MK2S- I will go into details in a longer post soon, but it arrived a few days ago and I'm ready to begin setting it up. Wish me luck!
More VR Stuff, this Time with the Rift
I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful brother just as interested (if not more so) in emerging tech, specifically with virtual reality. He already owns a Vive, but decided to order an Oculus Rift a few months back. Due to some fluke, Oculus sent him two Rift Touches by accident, one of which he … Continue reading More VR Stuff, this Time with the Rift
All about Wood Tables
Over the last year, we've worked on two wood tables that I'd love to share with you guys. They were both really fun projects that I definitely learned a lot from. The first table was made from white oak we purchased from a man out in Maryland who had cut down the tree in his … Continue reading All about Wood Tables
