It’s an incredible feeling when an idea becomes reality! #3Dprinted #GoPro mount for the underwater drone is ready to go and fits perfectly. Printed in carbon fiber nylon filament. Let’s go!!! 🌊✨📸 #UnderwaterTech #DIYDrone #CPS5 #ROV #UnderwaterDrone #Explore #Fusion360

I’ve finally reached the age where wet sanding props on a Friday night is considered appropriate… 🚤 🛠️ Actually it’s surprisingly relaxing! What are you up to on this fine Friday evening? #UnderwaterTech #3DPrinting #DIYDrone #CPS5 #UnderwaterDrone

Who in Calgary sells acrylic pipe? I need a clear piece 80mm OD x 70mm ID 250mm long and a second clear piece 50mm OD x 44mm ID 50mm long.

I made a thing! I have a love/hate relationship w/ #Fusion360 but I managed to #3DModel a couple new clips to hold the bottom of the blinds on our back door. They fit and so far seem to be doing what they are designed to do - hold the blinds in place! #smallvictories

As a maker Im happiest when making something for someone else. This shirt is 1 of 2 made for a friend and his son to commemorate their upcoming bike trip. I’m super stoked it came out looking so good as it is the first time I’ve used the sublimation printer. #makersgonnamake

I was cleaning the robotics lab today when I came across these Benchys and the “life finds a way” quote from Jurassic Park popped into my head. I had to stop and snap a few photos. This was my favourite. #lifefindsaway #benchy #3dprinting

Many of my previous students have joked about doing this, but today for the first time, a student got to throw a pie in my face in honour of Pi Day - thanks for the fun @MandelaUnited! #PiDay2024

I feel pretty good after getting all of our robotics lab #3DPrinters back on line this week. 3 of 5 were down. It took a bit to Frankenstein this CR6 back to life. I ended up swapping an Ender 3 hot end, and a filament extruder off a CR10 to get it back in the game. #spareparts

I still need to print a spacer for the filament sensor to raise it up to the level of the extruder but that’s a Monday problem!

Some projects go as planned, others fight you the whole way. Mentorbot’s a fighter - it’s 2 steps forward/1.5 back w/ this damn bot. Still, it’s a blast tackling each obstacle. I’m about to 3D print the right rear bumper for the 3rd time… no biggie it’s only a 12 hr print!
