Engineering and experimental music. I am interested in amateur radio, particularly in homebrewing equipment. I hold an Extra License with the callsign KO0I, but I’ve only recently found the space to build my HF antenna. I have been playing with RepRap machines for many years (since 2010) and presently own my best approximation of a Prusa i3, I use it to print all kinds of things. I enjoy gardening, zero-waste, tinkering, trading, being outdoors, and bicycling.

I also wanted to have a uniform experience across devices accessing my own personal media library. Finally, I wanted the option to extend...
3D Printing Practical Items, Overview of A Process I’ve been using OpenSCAD to create things to 3D-print for years now, and it can be a simple and fulfilling process to build up something useful from simple geometric primitives. OpenSCAD is a “programmer’s CAD” where the models are written up in text, a bit like a...
