TLDR: Info on the tools I use/have used on projects…aka the stuff I have accumulated over the years

What Maker doesn’t have a borderline unhealthy* love of toys, or tools, or whatever.

Finding those things that enable a never-before available to you capability is just such an amazing feeling of discovery. Suddenly all new dreams have pathways to reality!….but f***, stuff is so expensive 😟…..but so fun 😀

My goal with this section is to try to remember to share my experiences of note with all nature of tools that I use in the course of makin whatever it is I’m makin. Also, hopefully creating a handy resource for myself to be able to quickly reference specs and whatnot :)


Not sayin it’s a good order, but here’s the order me gots…aka TABLE OF CONTENTS

My go to printer since 2019 has been my Prusa Mk3 kit. Prior to getting this printer, every other machine I had used that had produced any parts of consistent quality had cost between $50k and $500k…and I just couldn’t believe how damn good this little guy was and has continued to be!!

In 2022 I got myself another Mk3! This time the Mk3s+, an improvement, but not really one of note (IMO).

Measurement!
