Maker Meraki

I'm Meraki and I make stuff with 3D printers, laser cutters & engravers, and CNC routers.

Day job: Cybersecurity.

Let's make all the things!

@3dpNero Myspace? I'm going back to Orkut.

@3dpNero As a former Digital Forensics consultant for work living out of hotels, hotel wifi is universally terrible from the cheapest to most expensive boutique hotels. If you're traveling, get a mobile Hotspot or add-on for your phone plan as needed. Much more reliable and safer too.

@joeltelling @UncleJessy4Real Inadvertently terrifying! 😅

Seeing a #YouTuber who has publicly stated they don't use #Klipper explaining Klipper and its features on #YouTube seems wrong to me. 🤷 They are cool, but not an authoritative or experienced source. #3Dprinting

@CNC_Kitchen @VoronDesign @LDOMOTORSJASON You're part of the Prusa- Voron conspiracy now! 😅 I enjoyed the video!

Hot on the heels of @makersmuse great laser safety video, here's earings I made for my wife's sorority on the @xToolOfficial D1 Pro 20w. I used the xTool enclosure, it was properly vented through a carbon filter then outside, and I read the MSDS of everything I cut/engrave.#maker

@makersmuse @3dpNero I was surprised to see @TwoTrees3d_ put out the TS3. That's one of two enclosed diode lasers I know of, and the only affordable one. I hate seeing posts on FB laser groups like "Why is my machine corroded?" when they've been cutting PVC! 😬

[Maker Meraki @MakerMeraki]

@xToolOfficial Thanks! This is the best diode laser I've ever used!

[Maker Meraki @MakerMeraki]

I'm up at 3am prototyping earings for my wife's sorority's upcoming Founder's Day. I love my wife more than sleep, and I keep my promises. The @xToolOfficial D1 Pro 20w works like a dream, freeing up my CO2 for other work. #diodeLaser #laser #xtool

@3dpNero I hope he feels better soon.

[Maker Meraki @MakerMeraki]

Look what arrived today! Two people from @UPS delivered it today. I had no advanced warning, buy I'm happy! I'm not sure if my wife believes me thay i paid for this months ago! 🤣 @BambulabGlobal @Kickstarter backer 2322.

Still (im)patiently waiting for my @BambulabGlobal X1-Carbon combo...

[Maker Meraki @MakerMeraki]

@TBDatwork @SeiKukuTB @Deadwolf921 @SheRatesDogs I'm conflicted. My wife and I have a 20y age gap. I did NOT want to fall into the old man/young woman trope. There's an inherent power dynamic w/ age gaps. I dated 33-45 b4. She wore me down. We're married w/ a child, and absolutely devoted to each other. Text guy is predatory.

@esun3dfilament hi. Did you stop making Peak Green ABS+? I've been trying to buy sine November 2021, but it's been out of stock and now isn't even listed anymore on the single spool purchase page.

[Maker Meraki @MakerMeraki]

@travman13 @xtool @MakerDeck @pezliz @BrittSithlord @fixumdude @BuildersMark_ @thezolon @tripodsgarage @AstroPrinter @JERRY_3DHP @SubSector3d @BillieRubenMake @TheEdgeofTeck Very nice spoil board. I've really been appreciating #TheClackShack jig setup for the D1 Pro. Very smart design.

[Maker Meraki @MakerMeraki]

@thechadx2 Getting past the simulated sexual assault, I think it's pretty clear that moron has never "properly unf unted" in his life. Even if he got consent, it's clear he doesn't know how to do anything but play with his own pathetic "joystick." 🤣 What a sad little boy.

[Maker Meraki @MakerMeraki]

@Polymaker_3D @ABlahstar84 I've never used that particular color, but I've never had a problem with any of your matte marble PLA or other filaments. And, if I did, I wouldn't put it in 25 of my printers (I only have 21 in my farm); two is enough. I think this partial user error. 🤦‍♂️

[Maker Meraki @MakerMeraki]

Covid sucks. Finally woke up fever free and feeling better with no meds today. 8 hours later, and fever is back. Thankfully, during those 8 hours I got caught up on a lot of client design work, but now I'm heading back to bed. I miss my family.

[Maker Meraki @MakerMeraki]

@VantisX @BambulabGlobal And speaking of the Bambu FB group, someone posted the latest update from Bambu's blog on all the KS units shipping out from the factory, and it was deleted by the admins! 😅

[Maker Meraki @MakerMeraki]

@VantisX @BambulabGlobal Also note that the FB group was ~90% "where's my printer?" posts. Those were banned by admins and posts dropped significantly. So while numbers may not be accurate, a significant portion of backers are less than happy.
