There's a lot of catching up to do! The date is December17 2013 and I'm taking over the blog that was started for me by my good friend barb.
First some history.
In 2010 I started participating in the reprap project. I bought my first set of parts from a guy in St. Catherine's and it took me a year and a half to start printing. That was back in 2010. The greatest challenge I faced was the extruder. I spent the last 3 years (among other things) building an extruder that can keep up with me. I'll give you more details later.
Aside from 3D printing, I also take part in sustainability projects in the community. The latest project is the Toronto tool library.
I helped construct and assist in running the 2 current locations of the Toronto tool library and Makerspace. My other origin stories include wikifarm, open source ecology, and the zeitgeist movement.
Fast forward to today. I'm currently the proud owner of a Prusa Mendel V2 with heavy modifications and my brand spankin' new water cooled hotend!
What to expect? Loads of 3D printing, some wood working, some survivalist, some home improvement, some future economy.
Who know's what the future knows? I sure don't but I can have a guess.
See you again soon.
