Multi Color / Part Christmas Tree Vase versions and additional parts for 2022. STL’s are on this site, Source Files (FreeCAD), and more parts will be posted on my personal website with just a click to download, no requirements/login to get files.

**2022-12-05 Made some updates, larger parts with compression bolts to keep layers compressed.

Now that I’m painting again with shaking hands and unbalanced sitting and standing. I realized I needed an Easel that can…

• Have a fixed but easily moved bar over the painting that I can rest my hands on without touching the wet painting.

• Also need an Easel that could hold me up or support my weight when I lose balance or need support to stay up.

• A shelf under paintings for stuff.

• A flexible stand on the left for reference or tablets/screens. (Right now thinking of just using a monitor arm for this)

• On the right side 2 glass pallets, A long strip on top for raw out-of-the-tube paint with tubes stacked above 300mm x 100mm. Then below this a 2nd glass pallet for mixing and using 300mm x 300mm or larger.

• Hacking up 2 cool/warm adjustable LED lights to attach to the top of the frame with their adjustable arms. The one on the left has a magnifying lens with it so I can see details of the reference materials. The 2nd one will be over the mixing pallets.

• Adjustable angle for canvas mount, which can be vertical or facing up or down.

• Able to rotate painting as I’m painting to get different angles while painting, (upside down, on the side, etc..)

So its been since 1990’s that I touched Oil Paints. Tried some abstract paintings that confirmed what I knew, I’m a realistic artist, So I have been starting back up and working on Portraits.

Did some color studies 1^st, then some eyes, then my 1^st ever Oil Portrait. More on the way….

Miscellaneous 3D Prints and Source Files

Various source files for 3D printing. 3D prints that I have created that do not get a whole page on my site. Wide range of items will be included.

This Page will be updated over time as I add new ones.

Bricked 3D, the last printers you will need.

3D Printers that I designed.

Coming Soon!

3D Printable Terrain Maps that can also be CNC’ed. Most have elevations multiplied by 4.2 times to give height variations to view. Other wise they would just be a few layers thick total across whole map.

This Page will be updated over time as I add new maps.

Enjoy!

So I’m about to expose something about myself that I have not told anyone until recently. See I have found out over the years some people have been taken off on how I act socially. And some have thought the worst of me.

I’m on the spectrum of autism and what used to be call Asperger’s disease

I never fit in until after high school, my dark ages. Had many bullies and hatred towards me for being different. Missed out on many possible relationships, cause I could not pick up on social cues. Problems with work environments that relied on social interactions. And still continue to today, except the bullies part.

And for the all my past haters and miscommunications, I do not hold that against you or hold any ill will towards you in my life. I was different than you and at your time in life you took it out on me, I pray you have found peace and love.

The single fact is people on the spectrum are the best of us, we see things you don’t. We are all different. My word is driven by fact, not feeling. We are good people, we do not carry social baggage of the past.

Personally what finally got me to accept this, was the YouTube Algorithm starting giving me Autism video in my feed. And well I was blown away on how right on things are. What I taught was how we all acted was just how I and others like me act.

SO my life of masking to fit in with all of you is over. I now know how I’m different than all of you and I’m so sorry, I wish everyone could see things as people in the spectrum do. The world would be better and at peace, discrimination would be gone. The world would just be better if we had more people on the spectrum capable of masking and living in your world of hate and inequality.

Peace and Love to all, even past haters and bullies.

This is a total remake of my original versions. This time I made them in FreeCAD using a spreadsheet to control all aspects of the design for an easy and quick way to make changes.

A few years ago the area around my residents bloomed with all sorts
of mushrooms, then again in 2021.

Powered, Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) and More.

I have been working on these designs a few years ago and have plans for commercial plastic injection molded add-ons / that enable disposable and face respirators to be airtight. They require a scuba mouthpiece and nose clips.

Once installed ALL air goes through scuba mouthpiece and through air filters, NO leakage from side of masks or for people with beards (like myself and why I created these, so I do not have to shave my beard).

Due to COVID-19 I’m posting my 3D prototypes for personal use. With hopes of finding support and funds that I have no way to get myself.

I have been working on several different types of additive and subtractive systems. SO far only making them to the CAD designs.

Due to current world issues I’m just posting them to share.I would love to find funding to get these designs built and tested.

Here are some older images I took of various 3D prints. For the most part, it was the failures that look cool.

Awhile back I made a PC case out of LEGO.
