• K1 Max Update

    I’ve now had this printer for over a year and I’m still getting orders for the RSA/ID holder, but after a few changes to the original design I can print one in about 25 minutes. Compared to my previous 2 printers, I’ve made very few modifications. The main modification I’ve added is the 270 degree…

  • piCorePlayer

    Since my previous post about piCorePlayer, I have replaced 2 of them that were running on a Raspberry Pi 3A+ with a 3D printed case. Raspberry Pi 3A+ with 5″ touch screen, an Adafruit speaker bonnet and speakers. The 3D printed case can be downloaded from Printables.com

  • K1 Max

    Last November, after receiving lots of orders for my RSA/ID Holder, I decided that I needed a bigger and faster printer. So I bought a K1 Max from Creality. What took 1 1/2 hours on my previous printer could be printed in less than 40 minutes.

  • Raspberry Pi 3A+ as a weather station

    This was my weather station and was powered by a Raspberry Pi 3A+ running Raspbian Buster lite with pywws. Unfortunately the base station kept losing connection with either the weather station or the Pi. So I’ve now replaced it with a Raspberry Pi running weewx that receives data from the weather station sensors using a…
