So what’s all that? That is my prusa XL printing a 3D model I made a while back. So I modeled this thing quite a ways back, probably over a year at least. It finally was time to test it out with my new 3D printer. It needed a few tweaks, things like making it… Continue reading Nonspecific magnetic superperson 3D print!

Introducing… No-Mouse
Pretty stupid for something that looks a lot like a mouse right? Well it is and it isn’t. It is a stupid name because it looks exactly like a mouse and for all you know it probably works just like a mouse…however it has all the functionality except the actual tracking of a mouse. But… Continue reading Introducing… No-Mouse
1 COFFEE-LID to rule them all…
All right, so why a coffee top using plastic? Well the end result is not to have a plastic coffee top, this is just a prototype for something we’re hopefully going to be able to create in glass. So what’s the idea behind this? Well a friend of mine is super particular about his coffee,… Continue reading 1 COFFEE-LID to rule them all…
Prusa XL – Upgrade!
It came! Finally! It was expensive and probably, well too expensive but I’m having a lot of fun with this hobby so I went for the XL upgrade where I can have multiple colors or filaments used on the same print. Unfortunately I can’t do this myself so I am waiting for my buddy Andy… Continue reading Prusa XL – Upgrade!

IT’S HUGE (new 3d printer)
Seriously, what are the odds that somebody would be selling a Prusa XL 3D printer in my area? Turns out the odds are pretty good! I’ve been in the market for a new 3D printer for easily a year, or maybe ever since I got my mini. It’s not that the Prusa Mini Plus is… Continue reading IT’S HUGE (new 3d printer)
SAMARITAN
It’s finally done! Working on Hellboy’s gun was a little bit more of an undertaking than I had originally imagined. It was fun though, so although it took maybe a couple weeks longer than I estimated. Although it doesn’t have all the functionality that a prop version might have like lights in the shells, a… Continue reading SAMARITAN
Turns out super glue dries super fast…
Too fast if you ask me! So what’s going on here? Well, I took my Samaritan 3D model and decided to go the next step of 3D printing. It was a little difficult to chop it up into moderately sized chunklates but I managed. Basically I had to, excluding the cylinder itself, split every object… Continue reading Turns out super glue dries super fast…
Modeling: HELLBOY’S Samaritan
So what’s the big deal? Is there a deal at all? I suppose there’s really not but for a while now I’ve been toying with the idea of making a YouTube channel that shows the process of not just modeling, but taking an idea all the way to a physical object. For instance I really… Continue reading Modeling: HELLBOY’S Samaritan
Get Started 3D printing with 3ds Max
I completely admit that if you’re going to get started with 3D printing you should probably not start with 3D Studio Max… I would definitely suggest an actual CAD program first and foremost, specifically Fusion 360 because it’s free. But if you did and somehow you’re using the Prusa MINI+ then here is a link… Continue reading Get Started 3D printing with 3ds Max
Prosthetic Breast [NSFW]
Quick Links – Printable / MakeRig It all starts with a need. So who am I to say no? Personally I have a ton of needs so when I see there’s somebody with one that I can potentially do some good for, it’s hard not to want to be involved in some capacity. When you’re in… Continue reading Prosthetic Breast [NSFW]
Keychains for a friend
Quick Links – One Love Tarantulas / @one_love_tarantulas A friend of mine who owns the company One Love Tarantulas has gotten into 3D printing but he’s a pretty busy guy on the weekends and between feeding his vast tarantula collection and working with all of his customers it doesn’t have a whole lot of time.… Continue reading Keychains for a friend

Joystick Upgrade – part 3 – Revision and buttons
Quick links: Printables / Adafruit / Switch List …And we’ve got buttons! Before getting too far into the details of how this version came together and where it is now I just wanted to say thank you so much to Andy who has done so much of this project. Between the engineering, the 3D printing,… Continue reading Joystick Upgrade – part 3 – Revision and buttons
THROWBACK – First 3d design print
For my first project I was looking for something that was simple and to the point. I have a small collection of pro wrestling belts and they don’t stand up well on their own. I was perusing Amazon for some kind of comic book stand, NASCAR plate stand or a belt stand. It was something… Continue reading THROWBACK – First 3d design print
3d wall prints
A few days ago I made some quick designs in Illustrator to see if it was easy to extrude something two-dimensional into a three-dimensional model. It worked pretty well! Short and sweet! -mh
Joystick Upgrade – part 2 – Test print…and Legos?
Quick links: Printables / imgur So here we are at the second iteration. This will be the first time that we’ve completely replaced the joystick platform with something 3D printed. I have faith in Andy, he’s very capable. So here’s what he came up with! (If you just want to blast through the imgur here’s… Continue reading Joystick Upgrade – part 2 – Test print…and Legos?
“Only in death does duty end” – 40k
Warhammer 40K is pretty sweet. So as my tribute to one of the coolest games that has the most interesting and complex lore out of maybe every other game in existence I decided to model a Bolter. It’s not exact and the moving parts don’t work but it doesn’t look half bad. After getting a… Continue reading “Only in death does duty end” – 40k
THROWBACK – First 3d print
It’s too adorable, it’s just too adorable and since it is preloaded on the flash drive that accompanies the printer. I had to go with Benchy. A good friend of mine Andy recommended that I get the prusa Mini Plus because since I’m disabled it’s important to take into account things like maintenance and/or calibration.… Continue reading THROWBACK – First 3d print
Joystick Upgrade – part 1.5 – More design detail
Just a little bit of recap, last time on the joystick upgrade we replaced the stock joystick with the new joystick that was unable to connect to the joystick platform. So basically we dropped the new joystick in a cup, drop that cup in the old joystick slot because the new slot was off center…and…maybe… Continue reading Joystick Upgrade – part 1.5 – More design detail
Joystick Upgrade – part 1 – project introduction
So if you made it this far you’ve probably noticed that I’m in a wheelchair. No pity parties, I’ve been in a wheelchair for about 34 years, the first one was given to me when I was three. Unfortunately as a kid I beat the hell out of most of my wheelchairs, bent footrests, broken… Continue reading Joystick Upgrade – part 1 – project introduction
What do you even do with a 3D printer?
So if we’re not going to print weird stuff with our 3D printers what are we even doing here? Ohh, wait, we are going to print weird stuff? Ohh excellent! Let me start! There’s a lot of 3D models available out there. Why Try to reinvent the wheel when you can just download a dino-dong… Continue reading What do you even do with a 3D printer?
