No more stolen chocolates this Valentine's Day!

Okay, maybe chocolate theft isn't an actual problem. 😂 But I thought it would be fun to see what the UNO Q 4GB from @officialarduino.bsky.social could do with unique facial recognition, & what kind of mischief I could get up to.

This 3D printed chocolate box is running a custom trained object detection model, which on button press looks explicitly for DJ to trigger the LEDs and servo to open the lid! Everyone else is rejected and gets nada!

I absolutely ADORE making gifts instead of buying them. 🥰

Jewellery casting never has a dull moment. 🤦

Doing the investment casting for my animatronic beetle necklace was one of the most fun parts, but also the messiest by a landslide.

Make sure to check out my YouTube channel for the full build video of this awesome project!

I 3D print solutions, and my cat is the problem. 🤦

Thankfully, this was an easy one to fix with my H2D. The next one might not be so easy. 😂

Yes! These will be available for sale through my website and Patreon. 😊 I just need to get all the files together and make a page for it!

I like to surprise my friends at Thanksgiving with custom place cards, & this year I designed these tiny cinema marquee place cards.

The design is perfect for 3D printing, since I needed enough for everyone & I needed them FAST. They snap fit together & use an LED noodle to give that perfect glow.

✨How I repaired my broken bones with gold and porcelain ✨

Not literally, of course. But using a bike accident & Grade 5 tibial plateau fracture as fuel for creating unique art has been healing beyond measure.

I can't pretend what happened didn't change me, but I refuse to be reduced by it. 💜

Gold repair for broken bones?

Okay, not EXACTLY. This effect isn't created with kintsugi at all, but is done with gold lustre. It's painted on the ceramic piece & fired again to set the gold.

That's right, SET. So any mistakes are forever immortalised on it too??

Thankfully not! It can be saved!
