I made a little baseball bat years ago for that purpose and recently had fun making more different ones for friends.
As you can see I used a piece of rebar for the bat.
I "turned" it using a drill and angle grinder then going through different grains of sanding:
The lightsaber's hilt was made the same way, using a dremel tool to get more control on the details.
The "blade" is made of Corian, a synthetic stone commonly used for countertops.
The sword required a lot more precision to make and ended up okay but looking closely nothing
Jellies #1,2 and 3 were pieces I made for a local art show this winter. They are constructed of reclaim hand pounded copper and local beach wood and stones.
All sold
Commissioned custom jellies available on order.
I finally got a Lemmy sign in for just art stuff. You can contact me here for any inquiries about purchases or custom work. I've been transitioning from American social media and making new fedi accounts and spreading them about. I enjoy sharing my work here and Is m just looking for a new way to reach people with my artistic endeavors.
I should also add I am happy to arrange barter for goods or services as opposed to cash for art pieces.
I've been working on Birdbrain here for so long now. It's all reclaim copper wire and pipe as well as carved deer antler. The heart is made from a local Jasper stone.
It's back in the drawer right now. I'm on to something else.
3D Printed a Ghost Papa V mask to wear at the Skeletour!
Hey guys! First post here. I hope the movie link works.
I am a Ghost music fan. I’m printing myself, and my Nameless Ghoul friends, masks for the upcoming Summer 2025 Skeleta Skeletour.
This is a prototype mask before I start messing with the settings to custom fit everyone’s heads.
Mask Printed on an Adventurer 5M Pro with a 0.4 nozzle. Filament is PLA Kingroon Green/Blue/Red. Layer height is 0.2. Took about 2.5 hours or so—I print slower than the printer is probably capable. Spliced with Orcaslicer.
I made a crate for puppy! He keeps outgrowing the ones we bought, so I made a large one out of his playpen panels that should be big enough until he's fully grown.
The floor is a sheet of plywood. I put vinyl wrap on it for waterproofing (turns out it's too fragile, by the time I made the rest I made a couple of tears).
For the top, I made a lip out of PSE wood (I think 25mm), to give more rigidity and allow fitting a hinged top.
Cabin hooks for the door, but they turned out to be too loose, so I added a Brenton bolt.
Today I jumped back on this project that has been on pause for about a year :)
Turning cheap defective desktop speakers into a set of wireless Bluetooth stereo speakers.
Got the idea from this video from DiyPerks.
I'm trying to recycle as much as I can:
Desktop speakers were defective and given to me by family,
Bluetooth receivers are from old earbuds,
Batteries come from and old powerbank,
Charging module from old vapes (still need to figure out a few things about them, not sure I'll end up using those).
The only thing I bought so far are amps for the audio output tu the speakers.
Any input or advice is welcome :)
I'll keep you updated with more details if anyone is interested
Do progress updates, or even ideation posts, fit this community?
Motivations:
I don't ton of free time, which means when I finally finish something I'm much more likely to share the end result and not get into the details that eventually got me there. IMO the details, especially the failures along the way, are a lot more interesting than just the result and provide more opportunity for teaching/learning
Big projects can be daunting. Talking about the journey will help others be more willing to set off on their own journey
It's a quickie, but I think it turned out cute! My friend recently got a Hartford Whalers jersey and when I saw this little friend I couldn't help but make him into a little 3D model! I hope you all enjoy!
This is known as a Colpitts oscillator and I soldered this up last night after dinner. To my surprise it worked on the first try! With the component values I used it oscillates between 0.7-2.8V at a frequency of 1.28 MHz.
