Dallas Makerspace Show & Tell - August 2019


Along with 5 fellow makers, I took @Edenblue’s resin pendant class tonight. Mind-boggling collection of glitter and other bling! I had a blast.

I think Hatchers can appreciate this one. 12" diameter only engraved using the vectors and took 2 hours. A full on deep engraving and fill was estimated to take 25 hours. I opted for the shorter. cheers!

We wanted a tool roll for some turning tools. Turns out hand sewing isnt that bad… just time consuming. First real leather project.

Shou sugi ban burnt wood furniture. Dresser and coffee bar. @Brenly

Dismantled and stripped using paint stripper. Orbital sanded. Then propane torched the wood and dyed using RIT fabric dye. I used a high concentration of RIT / water mixture and wrapped the wood in a trash bag to give the dye time to soak in. It was a surprise present for a partner’s anniversary! (I provided the propane torch myself).

And yes, she loved it!

I have to say that the Form2 does some lovely work (a recent print before and after priming)

that’s great! What’s the material cost and time taken on a mini like that? I might need to get signed off on the form 2…

I created it on Heroforge.com ($10 for the stl file download) and the printing was like $2.10 for 7 grams of clear resin but that was actually for 2 prints, so call it $11 total for a fairly customized figure. As for time I think the print took like 3.5 hours or so and then another half an hour to clean and harden it with the UV cure station once it’d warmed up.

This is a bag I made in the crossbody fabric bag class last week. I’m pretty happy with the result.

A charity that fosters dogs reached out to me the other day about Lenny, a 4 pound puppy who was born blind. He’s so small commercial halo’s will not fit him. So I 3d printed one for him. This is Lenny:

This is his halo:

He will get fitted Saturday, after that he should be able to walk around safely without bumping into everything.
