We gain inspiration from our fellow makers. Post a description and a photo or 2 of anything you are working on this month at the 'Space (or wherever) in this thread!
It can be anything from a small craft project to a large CNC router project to building a table to 3D printing to a science experiment and so much more. Most of us never get to see the cool things people do at DMS all the time.
Posting here could inspire others to make something, helps our Public Relations team provide a look at what can be done at DMS on a blog post or other social media (with attribution to each maker of course).

I build a full-featured Kubernetes cluster with Raspberry Pi4s for testing at home, and then wrote up a tutorial so anyone else can easily do the same.
She’s modeled after Edith Slump from QWERPLine, which is a podcast, so my starting point was just a character voice. I sought out elements from her creator’s other work to find her fashion sense, and gave her my favorite bonkers Gucci eyeglasses.
I thought I was looking at a very cool turntable for vinyl records at 1st. But, is that the chip cutter that separates ICs from a 180mm or 300mm silicon disc?
I bought some crazy cheap 8TB SAS drives on eBay. Bought a crazy cheap case from someone online that was local. Turns out SAS drives have a deeper/longer connector than SATA drives and the case door wouldn’t close. I designed and printed replacement drive holders that move the drives away from the case door by the depth of the SAS connector. Now everything fits perfectly. The toolless design still works, they snap into place like the originals.
Matching blue PETG so it goes with the case color.
I made these Co-Roo-Na Virus key chains for my graduation party. My college mascot is a kangaroo so I thought it was a funny joke. I used this kit off of amazon, and it worked beautifully on the fusion laser.
I also made these pens back in January and I just finished packing them all up with a little note for each one of my professors. They’re fountain pens, and I used a mixture of acrylic and wood blanks.
So, on a sunny 60 degree day with the lid fully down, the cold frame hit 108 degrees internally! I’ll have to watch the upper as well as the lower temps.
I added some plumbing heat tape to kick in at 38 degrees (shuts off at 45). This worked great when cold temps hit the mid 20’s here.
