Are you ready for some making, mayhem, and general madness?! My 3D printed slab moulds video is here and it is ripe with sweet juicy knowledge! I didn't spend a year on this technique for nothing. 😉 Check it out and share it with your friends!

I am thrilled to finally introduce the Clean Air Necklace; a brilliant blend of modular design, 3D printing, electronics and live data visualisation. It also looks *incredibly cool*, and you can see the whole process of how it was made here:

It has been weeks in the making, but the ceramic Hex Vase made with 3D printed forms is finished! Behold the whole process from start to finish! 😊
I definitely learned a lot from the experiment and look forward to streamlining the process. All in all though, a success! 💪🏻

This vase started life as a CAD design, became a 3D print & inspired me to try & create the most complex press mold imaginable. 3D printing and ceramics combined beautifully in the end to create the gorgeous stoneware vase you see here.
This is NOT slip cast ceramics!

Power tools are a LOT of fun, but safety is important. Safety advice often feels generic or aimed towards men/butch folk, so I thought I'd put together some stuff that'd be helpful for Femmes using Power Tools. :)

I love showing off what this prop can really do. 🤩

I like to think of this as the four stages of custom LED matrix testing. 😂

3D Printing Prototyping Tip!
If you're testing things like tolerance, the piece is large, & doesn't need to be strong, get rid of those solid layers and print it as infill! If you turn up the percentage you'll have enough structure while saving you a ton of time and material!👍🏻

Sadly, I am coming up on a week since the accident & I am still waiting for surgery, still stuck in medical limbo & still being held in a ward I very much do not belong in (I am the youngest here by 35 years at least...)

3D printers are definitely dangerous, especially when user vigilance is lax; like putting your face right down by the print bed to look at the nozzle while things are moving. 🤦 Learn from my mistake, sprung steel build plates are sharp and faces are soft.

3D printing + ceramics for the win! I had the idea to create a tiny hand held stamp with changeable heads, so of course I threw something together in an evening, tried a few prototypes, and whacked together a pretty cool plate in an hour or two. 👌🏻

9 months ago I broke my leg. My world felt shattered, but I was determined to come back better than ever.
I wanted to create something from it, so I endeavored on this ambitious project. I was warned of the likelihood of failure.
Little did they know, I don't give up, ever. 😉

What can I say? I refuse to be pigeon holed.
I am anything and everything I want to be.

Oh hey, there I am! ✨
I don't often get to stretch my fine art skills any more, so it feels really good to take a break from all the technology and break out the traditional media. This self portrait was done in pastel pencils and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. 😊

, I went to make myself a foot pedal hands free camera trigger, and discovered a no solder method that works with my old Fujifilm camera! 🤩 Mega score!
Audio jack adapters absolutely save the day here, along with a keyboard foot pedal! 👌🏻
