Exploring 3D printing for several years has been a good experience for developing skills with FDM (filament style) plastic extrusion printing and with DLP, a projected light style 3D printing using liquid resin. Both methods produce items that are plastic. Using these processes in the foreseeable fu...

I have been off track, fooling around with 3D printing for about two years. The glitz has worn off but I am definitely not stopping "manufacturing" plastic stuff. There are many good things I have made or actually manufactured from plastic. 3D printing just isn't what I consider an "Art-Craft" I pus...

  I enjoy creative projects. I like to test my skills and develop new ones. I don’t like to be mis-led into experimenting with materials that do not work. I have been fooled into attempting to cleanly burn out a resin-based plastic used with three-dimensional printing to produce investment cast...

The next workshop tool is a Wanhao DLP 3D printer. It is a very high resolution 3D printer that uses UV light sensitive resin to create solid 3D objects. My action plan is to test run it for awhile until I master or fully understand the operation and it capabilities. Then it will be used for making ...

I went to Lowe's to buy an electrical plug to repair my desk lamp. There was an open in the wiring right at the molded on plug. Easy repair. While I was looking in the store bins for the suitable repair plug, I found this item. I didn't know it existed. For all the tools I have with a plug and no sw...
