Yes, we’re building a 3D Printed Newtonian Telescope called Hadley. It’s being printed in PETG and in the video below, I give a quick tour. My build isn’t done yet, but it’s darn close. In the next video I’ll be discussing aligning (collimating) the optics and hopefully have some first impressions to share. More info …

When I started off in the 3D Printing world in November of ’22, I knew it would be neat to be able to print trinkets here and there, or maybe a Telescope or two. But to be able to help a neighbor in a bind? I didn’t expect that. On Tuesday I saw a request …

For a long time, I held off getting a 3D printer for several reasons. The first is that I really felt like I just wasn’t ready for Yet Another Hobby. My life wasn’t together, and my finances weren’t either. I know that 3D printing can be expensive, and I just didn’t have the discretionary income …

Hey everyone, I’m very sorry for the long absence. It’s been a while since I’ve written, and so much has changed.

The QRP Labs QDX is an incredible piece of radio engineering, but the first revision had a flaw that ultimately destroyed a some of the Revision 1 radios. To be clear: Unless you bought out of the first batch of 500, this does not apply to you. The second and upcoming third batches do not …

We’re still alive! November and December have been very busy months. In that short time I both decided to find a new job, found a new job, and started the new job. I’m back into doing what I love best: Fixing things, and writing things. I guess you could just say I’m wired that way. …
