Hi all! I apologize for the delayed post, for as you know, I have been quite busy with my new Prusa printer. It has been a bit of a rocky road to start, but I'm still really excited for what this printer has in store for me and all the great things I'll print in … Continue reading Regarding my Prusa i3 MK2S

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
Zipping Together Two Mummy Bags
My boyfriend I are avid backpackers and do a lot of camping trips in the spring and summer time. We have increased our inventory of gear since we first started dating (I had most of the gear at the beginning of the relationship, now we are about even). He purchased a new sleeping bag last year … Continue reading Zipping Together Two Mummy Bags
Learning how to Turn on a Lathe
I am fortunate that one of my coworkers at Techshop, who is extremely skilled at wood turning, offered to teach me how to use the wood lathe. At first I was a bit nervous, as I have minimal experience in woodworking (I'm more of a CNC/digital fabrication kind of gal). However, I soon learned turning … Continue reading Learning how to Turn on a Lathe
Becoming Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road
My boyfriend, myself, and two friends decided that we wanted to take on Mad Max for Halloween. It was on of my favorite movies of 2015 and I loved Furiosa's character (a strong, bad-ass, independent female main character- what's not to like?), so I decided I would go as Furiosa. I knew immediately I wasn't … Continue reading Becoming Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road
Back After a Long Hiatus
I'm back after taking some time off from blogging. I've been really busy, with some big career changes in my life. I moved from my job at the State Department/Jacobs Engineering to HOK, private architecture firm. I wanted to be more involved in the design process and working at an architecture firm will give me … Continue reading Back After a Long Hiatus
Electroplating 3D Prints
I've always been interested in 3D printing in different materials or even possibly coating prints with paint or metal. During my time at UVA's architecture school, I printed in nylon, wood filament, and many other crazy materials. I've also tested smoothing ABS with acetone vapor (works wonderfully). However, I really wanted to try something new, … Continue reading Electroplating 3D Prints
3DDC 2016
On April 14th, I attended 3DDC, a 3D printing policy event hosted by Public Knowledge. I know this is a rather delayed post, but I think some of the topics brought up at the 3DDC event are worth discussing in this blog. There were panels of expert makers and 3D printing specialists, including some of our … Continue reading 3DDC 2016
