Custom Computers & Repairs x RG3D
After looking into ways to improve my cheap OTA TV antenna reception, I took a little time this past weekend to design and 3D print this little adapter that allows a cheap flat OTA TV antenna to be mounted in place of the original cone of an unused DirecTV satellite dish.

I finally got around to revisiting my 3D printed table lamp design. This post details the re-design and fabrication. Check it out! Link to portfolio post below.
Some time back in 2017, I challenged myself to design a table lamp that could be 3D printed in such a way that no material would be wasted, and the lamp socket and wiring could just drop into place.
I recently overhauled one of my old desktop FDM machines and modified it so that it could support the M3D QuadFusion print head which is capable of mixing up to four materials at a time. The attached video is a quick preview of what I have been able to get it to do so far…

After spending some more time with this 3D printer, and UNIZ, I still have some mixed feelings which make recommending a SLASH difficult to do. There are definitely some pros to owning a UNIZ SLASH, but it is certainly not without its cons. Plagued by design flaws, poor design decisions, iffy customer support, underdeveloped “features,” and more… somehow the SLASH printers do still seem to work, when they work.

I finally received a working UNIZ SLASH Pro (first one was a dud), and while the standard (non-UDP) print mode appears to be working as expected, I am a bit disappointed with the high speed printing mode also known as UDP (Uni-Directional Peel). I’m thinking of maybe doing a full on review of the machine later, but for now I’ll just say that for a 3D printer with so much potential, it really falls short in a lot of areas and leaves plenty to be desired. In the mean time, Continue reading “SLASH Pro initial test prints”
I wanted a basket to put my home grown veggies in while I harvest them, so I found the biggest basket I could 3D print. The design I decided to print was the “Mega Collapsible Basket” by 3DPRINTINGWORLD, from Thingiverse which can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2949519 Continue reading “Mega Collapsible Basket by 3DPRINTINGWORLD”
Introducing SSD Stackers – Multi-Stackers!
I just added these new SSD Stacker variations to the SSD Stacker Store Page
These will allow you to stack 3, 4, and 5 drives using the single set of Multi-Stackers of your choice, and can be mixed and matched for unlimited stacking possibilities!
I spent some time over the last few days getting the beginning of my new website up and running. While I have a lot more on my to-do list, for now I have completed the basic setup of my online resume and portfolio; I also set up a new page for SSD Stackers to be purchased.
