Did some funsies on this iteration by selectively masking and copper pouring. The silkscreen with copper under vs without doesn't do as much as I was hoping, but I'm pretty happy with the effect overall!

Trying my hand at 3d printing keycaps to be used on the StrataPad. My custom dye sub from Signature Plastics cost me about $10.25 per board since this is pretty low quantity. 3D printed costs me under 10 cents per set. Not as much detail as dye sub caps, but it's close enough.

Was set to order a new round of StrataPads but remembered we just got into the Chinese New Year, so I guess nothing's happening until Feb haha v1.1 has some good updates to it, including a new (more robust) power switch, some small layout changes, and some artwork changes (that I hope work)

Weekend design project was for some brackets to mount my wife's Govee lights to the back of her monitors. Problem was that the back of the monitors are curved, so we needed something compliant that could match the curvature better. They're working well so far! www.printables.com/model/113643...

Got some new firmware for the StrataPad for Helldivers 2! Fixes some issues I'd been consistently struggling with and should make the BT pairing process a bit less miserable github.com/MatchstickWo...

Nabbed a few new filaments over Black Friday from Atomic Filaments! Deets in the Alt-text

From Prusa: "MK4S Kit for $729 (VAT excl.) / €819 (VAT incl.) MK4S Assembled for $999 (VAT excl.) / €1,099 VAT (VAT incl.)" Damn, shawty, okay!

The only thing I'm worse at than remembering to file my QMK PRs is remembering to file my VIA PRs... But hey, NormiePad is on its way to being properly VIA compatible!

this is beyond amazing news

A very cool feature

I hate putting up Christmas lights, saw Govee had a sale on their outdoor lights and took a leap. Since my house doesn't have a great place to mount them as is, I remixed a bracket to straddle the eave joists. Once I actually get them installed, I'll put the files up on Printables!

Been away for a hot minute! Here's what I've been up to: - Parametric prosthetic finger that works between 5th percentile female and 95th percentile male - A WLED stop light for my son to keep him from waking us up at 5am (it didn't work) - NormiePad, just a standard number pad keyboard (Cont...)

The Pixel Watch 2 has a charging stand! Adapted my original design to fit the new Pixel Watch 2 Charging puck and works for both right-handed users and lefties!

Almost ready for the Everett Maker Faire! Got some signs for the stuff I'm bringing and a shirt I dye sublimated myself

Planning to open source the design when I'm finished with development, but here's Phase 3: remote actuation of the prosthetic finger design using TPU hinges

I love these little fingers as fidget toys

New short about a project I've been meaning to start for a while, a set of prosthetic fingers for my grandma! :) youtube.com/shorts/64DRZ...

Signed myself up to host a booth at the first ever Everett Maker Faire with a bunch of other Makerspaces, Makers, and Vendors! I haven't done anything with Matchstick Works in the Meatverse before, so I'm pretty excited and a lotta anxious... 😅😅😅
