And it wouldn’t be a day ending in “y” if I didn’t try yet another vase shape. I like this one a lot – I think it’d be very stable outside in a breeze.

Another Day, Another Vase
A translucent, glossy red vase sitting on a fake wood shelf against a stone wall. The vase is wide at the base, tapers outward and then back in to a narrow opening. -
Blinky Lights!
I had an idea today and thought I’d tinker with it for a bit. Pretty pleased with the results so far, I think it’s worth pursuing…
A red maple leaf inset into a black background. The light is pulsing behind it. -
An Odd Arrangement…
Squares with wires. Lots of red. cylinders with… rolls of… solder in them?
This is what it looks like when I try something new!
View of a bench with 20 square molds, eight of which have different shades of red, some with wires sticking out. One with a mix of blue and green, one with a mix of purple, pink, and white, and one with a round blue mold with a stark red in it. Several smaller molds near the camera with different shades of red in them and another blue circular blue mold. Near the back are five various 3D printed cylinders with different patterns and colours, the closest one to the camera has a stack of rolls of solder in it. -
New Products On Display!
Spent some time today at North Forge doing some epoxy resin proof-of-concept work with Konawoodcraft, had a great time and learned a lot. Looking forward to revealing my first resin products!
Added two new dry-arrangement vases to my display at the North Forge Makers Market in Winnipeg’s Exchange district. Too much stuff for one shelf now!
An assortment of 3D printed items on a white three-level shelf with wooden legs. At the back are marker/pen racks, some Dyson cordless vacuum adapters and DeWalt battery protectors, Two translucent red vases, one with vertical ribs and one with no ribs that has a single embossed maple leaf, several flexi-rex dinosaurs of different colours and one large one, and several flexi-octopus models in green and glossy multicolour. -
Back Up And Running (Again)!
It was a lot of work to get the CR-10S clean and working again, but it was worth it. Worked on some more prototypes and with Canada Day coming up I’ve been working on some new products. I’m pretty happy with this – it’s not in-your-face but it still has a message.
A glossy red vase with an 11-point maple leaf imprinted on it about 1/3 of the way up. -
Bit Of A Problem…
Working on some Canada Day products today. Things were going very well but then I left the printer running while I did a workout and when I got back to check it… well, you can probably figure it out.
Opened CR-10S hotend assembly with large blob of PETG stuck around the hotend, under the silicone sock, and generally just making a big mess. -
The Printer’s Been Busy!
More successes and failures. But I really like how some of these filaments look!
Eight cylinders with different colour patterns and several different upward coiling ribs on a grey shelf. The colours of the cylinders range from bronze to white to blue to purple, with a metallic sheen. -
Good News Today!
I’m booked in at two sales now! Really looking forward to telling you about them!
Picked up some more supplies and one of those Square readers today. Things are going well!

New Product Added!
My wife has markers. A lot of markers, and while a box or fabric case is great for carrying them around, it’s not so great for organizing them. So today’s new product is a marker rack that holds 54 Tombow, Sharpie (narrow), or other similar-sized markers.
My wife got the first one, the second one went to my little display at the North Forge Maker’s Market:
A small display of 3D printed items under a yellow and black North Forge sign. -
Exciting News!!!
Booked my first craft sale today! Really excited, a little nervous, but mostly really excited! More news about this soon!
