Real prints. Honest results. Follow the A1 as it builds, then catch the finished projects—and the occasional pile of spaghetti.

Latest published builds.
The newest public Shorts, in publication order: the second-camera mount, Lions Buddy, Pure Michigan keychains, and ESP32 cases.
Second-camera shelf mount
A proper home for the second camera. Designed, printed, assembled, and clamped to the shelf.

Detroit Lions Buddy
A little Lions Buddy with fully flexible legs. Team spirit, fresh off the printer.

Pure Michigan keychains
Two matching miniature plates. Thankfully, no Secretary of State paperwork.

ESP32 cases
Three tiny houses for loose boards. The first lids failed; full-length replacements finished the job.

A print with a
story attached.
A hidden NFC tag connects a physical print to its own page: the making-of video, photos, and the original designer. The Mini Mushroom Trio is our first example, and the phone tap works.
BEHIND THE PRINTS
The print is only
half the project.
Two cameras now follow the printer: the Pi camera for the build and a second angle for the wider view. A printed shelf mount, camera switching, and an updated overlay are the latest additions.
Explore the camera, recording, streaming, and video overlay—or follow the repairs, useful makes, and setbacks in the Build Log.

Real prints. Honest results. Occasionally, a very ambitious pile of spaghetti.
SPOOL SHIFT GROWS / COMING NEXT
A different kind of build.
Gourmet mushroom cultivation is the next experiment: edible mushrooms such as oyster mushrooms and lion’s mane, with sensors, automation, and timelapses to follow the grow.
Temperature and humidity readings, history graphs, and a private camera preview have been developed ahead of the first grow. The camera is off for now, and the grow page remains private until launch. Same curiosity, a little less filament.
