I’ve been trying to make a lego golf playing automaton for about three years, and I keep running into issues with the system that brings balls up from inside of the model to the surface, and keep having to completely redesign the mechanism. I’m now starting on my fourth redesign.
I'm getting my ass kicked by trying to recreate a pop tube kids toy using 3d printing so that I can use the bistable mechanism elsewhere in headphones pads. I could probably do it in a horizontal orientation, but I want vertical, and everything turns into a spring so far, so I feel ya ATM. Those little details are such a pain. I'm on FreeCAD file 2, body 7, and just swapped my typical 0.6mm nozzle for a 0.25mm... We're gettin serious now!
My homelab is probably the longest running, but it runs things that I depend on, so I can’t say it’s much of a side project.
Probably Tesseract since I absolutely figured my interest would have fizzled out long ago.
Definitely my homelab as well. What started as a single AMD freenas server 10 years ago has spawned into a full rack in the past few months that I will soon be operating my business from, as well as personal self hosting.
Nice! I run a few things for local businesses out of my lab, but they’re mostly charity to keep them from setting up on Facebook lol.
I maintain a handful of RimWorld mods, going on about 6 years now. They’re in a pretty stable and mature place so they don’t take too up much effort, but I do check for Steam commens a few times a day, to make sure nobody found any bugs or major issues.
Sincerely, thank you for what you do!! Mod authors like you are why this game has been so awesome for the past 10 years (I miss those email links to the new game version download).
I’m not sure I could say I’m the sole producer, most of my mods are cases where the original author has stepped away from modding and I saw an opportunity to add some improvements of my own while carrying on the torch (I stand on the shoulders of giants and all). I think I’m most known for Camping Stuff and Snowy Trees, since those are the mods that I started with, but I’ve since adopted a few more, but if you’re interested in the full list, here’s my Steam / GitHub
Planet Piss /s
My bedroom electronics maker lab setup probably qualifies. I’ve rewired LED’s and added some printed wire guides for my laptop stand’s Ethernet cable. I also hung my SMD parts bins, and built shelves for my DMM and scope. I started that around 6 months after I was disabled, so 10 years ago.
