Welcome to the major effort of tearing out all of the old high and low voltage wires and components, in preparation of building back up with the new design.

My photographer friend Patrick has an awesome Nikon 200-500mm zoom lens. The hood that he connects to the end of the lens to protect from the sun has cracked after extensive use. I looked at it and said "How hard can it be to design and print a new one?" We all know what happens after that, but frankly it was fairly straightforward with my middling Fusion360 skills.
The lens model is "AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR". This hood may fit other Nikon lenses or other manufacturers who follow a similar bayonet pattern.
Sliced with Simplify3D on medium setting and 100% infill, it takes 12.5 hours to print and needs only a touch-up with an xacto knife to smoothly snap onto the zoom lens.
This is the lens:

I singlehandedly saved the Universe, for ice cream! A friend of a friend needed a new gear for an ice cream scoop with an ejector feature, so I designed the part in Fusion 360, set up the printing parameters in Simplify 3D and printed it in very durable ABS plastic on my 3D printer. Things did not go smoothly along the way, but everything turned out nicely in the end.

Welcome to the February 2022 Hua Hin Thailand train line construction drone flight video update.

OK, let's get flying.

We're past the halfway point of the year, but a lot has been going on and I need to catch you up.
The short version is I've moved to Barcelona and I'll be upgrading my electric Porsche 914 to Tesla battery modules.

The Silicon Labs CP2102N USB chip does not flash LEDs that are connected to the LED flash pins... so I walk through downloading the utility to update the chip's configuration. They seem a bit dim so I replace the LED's current limiting resistors.

Welcome to the April 2022 Hua Hin Thailand train line construction drone flight video update.
This month Geoff makes his first solo pilot flights as I've started my long overseas trip. I'm currently in Oman and went on a dolphin and snorkeling trip, say Hi to to Flipper and his friends!
OK Geoff, let's get flying!

I'm on a 2 month roadtrip around America and Canada and I'm trying to visit as many space, SpaceX and Elon Musk places as I can along the way. Today is a big one, the SpaceX rocket production and launch site in Boca Chica Texas. This is where SpaceX is building their next-generation rocket system called Starship that will launch satellites and take people and caro to the Moon and Mars. I've been watching video feeds on the site from Nasa Spaceflight, Lab Padre and Tim Dodd for a long time and now I get to see it all up close and in person.
