Failed print on a 3D printer. A lot of loose filament that looks like a birds nest.

A screenshot of a notification showing the 3D printer and some controls to resume or cancel the print.

My 3d printer continued to print after the model fell over; wasting a lot of filament. I thought it was supposed to automatically detect this but apparently not.

I've hooked up the camera to OpenAI to check if it's failing every 10 mins, pause the print, and send a notification with some options.

We all thoughts Elon Musk was a real-life Tony Stark. He's actually just Justin Hammer. Though even Justin Hammer had more charisma than Musk.

Actually, a better analogy is Peter Isherwell from Don't Look Up.

Same #3dprinting

Printed the full size model and it's a perfect fit for all Shelly Gen2 and Gen3 relays. I've added it to MakerWorld in case anyone wants it #3dmodelling #3dprinting #fusion360

A nice little touch in Figma. When I name a page "Ready for engineering" I get a popover which signposts the use of Dev Mode. #ux #productdesign

Gridfinity is taking over.

Here's the test I made with "Extra Draft" as the setting. Pretty happy so I'm going to print the larger one. #3dprinting #3dmodelling

How do you spend your evenings?

I'm modelling custom Gridfinity bins to store all my Shelly relay spares before I fit them during the house renovation.

I'm watching Silo season 2 and my TV might as well be off it's so dark.

Slipping into 2025 like

Music stage at a festival. A crowd in front. A woman with a white bob performs.

I need help identifying a house track! In April 2014 at Whistler’s WSSF, I heard a female vocalist perform this song live (photo below).

Lyrics I recall: ”Friends. Why can’t we be friends”.

Any idea what it could be? 🎶 #MusicHelp #HouseMusic”

I’m so impressed with our new Sonos system though. Era 300s as surrounds with a Beam soundbar.

I was planning on getting the Arc Ultra but honestly, this is fine for now.

Bluey sounds the same 😂

I just sold my cinema speaker system. Massive towers. Giant sub. It just doesn’t fit our space anymore.

It was a strangely pivotal moment because we’re ”downgrading” the audio and it feels like giving up a part of myself (wire spool video anyone?).

And yet the result is a much nicer space.

New year’s walks

Here’s to a 2025 where I actually finish some renovation projects.

If I overstand correctly…

An icy path curves left through the forest with the sun shining through from the top left corner.

I’d love Graham Norton to commentate PMQs in the same way he does Eurovision

I think that AI agents have a perfect analogy in the Meeseeks from Rick and Morty.

- They are brought into existence to complete a task
- They can summon more agents to help complete the task
- They can’t rest until that task is completed

It’s all very well to tax the farmers. But have you seen how much money the church makes?

Just an idea.

The question is, what if they don’t make the same choice?

We Live in Time. 10/10.
A rollercoaster of emotions.

I’m trying to strike a healthy balance between being informed and being oblivious.

New (2025) Jaguar logo

Dyson logo in black

Anyone else think the new Jaguar logo looks like the Dyson logo?

Before. UK. 3 cabinets and a world bench. Blue accents.

A row of drawers under a workbench. OSB walls. A black wall at the back.

During the pandemic in the UK, I was asked to go down to a 4 day (remote) work week.

I used this time to convert my garage into a workshop. What started a hobby has given me skills to renovate my new home, in Sweden.

I’m now building a new workshop 4 years later. If it ain’t broke…

Bluesky really does feel like the Twitter of old; before it became super popular (and infested with hate).
