I put together a highly opinionated extension for Inkscape to create living hinges.

Much of the inspiration, examples, and code come from other open source software. Standing on the shoulders of giants.

At our monthly Craft Night, Knox Makers member Ashley shared her love for traveler notebooks by teaching us how to make custom leather notebook covers.

Craft Nights happen once a month. Come learn something new, create together, and leave with something you made yourself.

Crochet, but make it cute. 🐙🧶Amy is bringing amigurumi magic to Knox Makers — tiny, hand-stitched creatures that show off just how fun and creative fiber arts can be.#KnoxMakers #Amigurumi #LetsMakeSomething

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Thia’s cathedral block quilting project shows how traditional craft and modern maker spirit come together at Knox Makers. 🧵

#KnoxMakers celebrated our 14th birthday tonight with pizza, cakes, and a hat contest. It was silly and amazing.

Recently made some coins (for a secret project) on the fiber laser using the depthmap functionality of #meerk40t. Shined them up in a magnetic tumbler then darkened them with brass black. #laser #OpenSource

Lebron on the wrong end of all of that video. He had the turn over and was the defender on all three of the threes.

Introducing MC Etcher to Bluesky, a laserbot my friends and I created a few months back to use as a demonstration at events. Would you be brave and hit the random button?

Open source from top to bottom and largely possible thanks to the scripting ability of #meerk40t.

#laser #opensource #linux

Used #meerk40t to script the making of game cards on the fiber laser. Added a sound so I would know when I need to switch cards.

Might have regretted that decision after 96 cards and listening to it 48 times.

#laser #meerk40t #opensource #killdrlucky #gaming #linux

Spent time figuring out an #opensource way to take my flat vector designs and turn them into beveled depthmap for a fiber laser. One where I can make a single script to go from svg to depthmap. The results are very satisfying.
