I've been printing a good bit of ABS lately... But on the larger print jobs, was getting frustrated as I was getting some lifting/warping on my prints... even with the heated bed. That and the smell wasn't all that great either... Just the nature of the beast with ABS.
So, I finally broke...

The case seems really...
After searching for an open-air pc case, and only finding a few offerings (from Thermaltake, Lian-Li, Feros, InWin), then researching fully DIY build projects, I was inspired to design something on my own. I wanted something that had the quality and polish of the branded cases, with a more...
Hi,

Basically a feasibility / sanity check. What I would like to build is a keyboard matrix (5x16 if possible) which connects to and is read by the Pi Zero's GPIO pins, then acts like a standard HID keyboard via Linux gadget. Ideally built in such a way that one could also still be able to switch...
This DIY ceiling mount VR system is brilliant. Anyone that has ever used a VR headset like the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift knows that the cables can be kind of a pain in the ass. Well, this guy has a brilliant idea to keep your wires out of your way and it only cost about $15! Thanks to Johnny...
