I’m exhausted! 1 What a great time!
I got to spend time with my family, see some amazing stuff, meet some great people, and see some old friends. I also ate some junk food! Perfect weekend all around.
I got to meet several people for the first time – including beak90, DocProfSky, DNA. A few people mentioned they liked my OpenSCAD tutorials, which just made my day.
For secretly wanting to abandon my family and get to Maker Faire earlier…
On Saturday you may see a a guy wearing the funkiest glasses in all of creation. That would be me.
I’m planning to be at Maker Faire all day on Saturday and Sunday and will be at the MakerBot table intermittently. Stop by and say hey!
I’m so excited!!!
I’m trying to import this STL of a Mini Cooper on Thingiverse into OpenSCAD without much success. I’ve run it through Netfabb’s cloud service, but that still isn’t fixing the problem.
I have a sweet sweet mashup I’d like to make… so, do you think you could help out? Much appreciated!
I couldn’t resist including the MakerFaire Bay Area countdown clock in my sidebar. However, since it is kinda wide for my sidebar, I had to use a quick bit of CSS to shoehorn it into the space. In case you want to do the same:
Early tomorrow1 morning I need to drive from the SF bay area up to Chico. On a whim I checked out the MakerBot map to see if there was anyone around in that area. Apparently MakerBot operator “RG MakerBot #853” is out that way.
I think I need to burn a driving CD before I go. :)
Oh, right, because when I went to college the web didn’t exist yet.
And, even if there was such a class, I wouldn’t have heard about it as a philosphy major.
I bought several1 pairs of glasses online recently. They’re so cheap2 that when I order them online I make a point of getting one pair that looks like the pair I’m currently wearing, one pair that is kinda funky, and two or three pairs of glasses that are somewhere between what I’m wearing at the time and funky.
The funniest part is that I invariably3 enjoy wearing the funky pair the most. Out of a $40 order, I’m overjoyed if I get one pair that I really like. In any case, the above is the funky pair with the other four being considerably more conservative. I’ve only been wearing this funky pair for a few hours now, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be my favorite.
I can’t wait for OpenSCAD to finish rendering this new object I’ve fashioned out of a DXF file!
Toolpath was basically:
It will be mine. Oh, yes, it will be mine. 12
