I've been working on a DIY motion capture suit and wanted to post a video blog about it. While this first video was a learning experience for video editing, I'm hoping future videos explaining the project will be far easier to do. This project uses MPU-6050s to track each limb's rotation and have computer software translate it for use in VR. My hope is that this will lead to cheaper full-body experiences that are also not limited to the HTC Vive and Valve Index.

After using the magic power of spreadsheets and a newly aquired digital caliper, I was able to properly calibrate my 3D printer. I decided to print a different calibration object as a test since this tested all axis at a much higher value. Sure enough, looks like it worked. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XLNSFpWMio

No, seriously, I'm terrible with it. Keep it away from me. Debating on doing streaming, so here's a highlight. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzvYmFQqHkM

Attempted to print a sunken mug I found on Thingiverse. Sadly the handle broke and discovered how badly calibrated the axis were. For some reason, OctoPrint stopped recording the footage early instead of the entire print job. A giveaway that the axis aren't calibrated is that the head is dragging on the layers when moving around, which scrapes along the printed surface. This is also how the handle snapped off. I'd recommend to anyone new to 3D printing should invest in a digital caliper to more properly check the calibration test results. Also, check to see if there are any filament guides for your printer (I found some on Thingiverse for my printer), as they can greatly help in more accurate prints and less of a chance of clicking.
