Pouring my passion for coding into open source/free software projects: audio plugins, language design, graphics and games

HexoSynth is developing great. Quick demo of time synced delay with trigger signals from the tracker. HexoSynth is a #modularsynthesizer written in 100% #rustlang. #audioprogramming

Getting back into #modularsynthesizer #dsp #Rust programming and work on the HexoSynth project more, here a more or less short blog article about it: https://t.co/2ajp9Bd3aM

Uploaded a little video about replacing the X gantry bracket on my WeirdCube #3dprinter https://t.co/7tkkSJkZbK

Finally completed the first working prototype of the WeirdCube #3dprinter. The article describes the last steps I took to finally make it print. I'm so glad it worked on first try,the results are beyond my expectations!

The 4th devlog for my journey to build my own 3D printer I named the WeirdCube. Read and watch me (videos at the end of the blog article) design and assemble the Core XY motion system on the WeridCube https://t.co/L5nV0O54Xa

The 3rd devlog for my journey to build my own 3D printer I named the WeirdCube. This devlog is mostly about the Z axis and bed gantry. https://t.co/8qF20D8fQu

I published a new devlog article for the WeirdCube #3dprinter project: https://t.co/sE1NuVLJah
The frame for this is now assembled! #3dprinting

[WeirdConstructor @WeirdConstruct1]

I started building my own #3dprinter the WeirdCube. CAD model of the frame is done now. In the coming weeks or months I'm going to assemble it and develop the other parts that are missing. https://t.co/NaqTJ40uNE​

The last week was another very busy week for me.I finished the design on the MakerGrid,worked on the #3dprinted spool holder,uploaded MakerGrid to Thingiverse&Prusa Printers and also experimented with the Raspberry Pi Pico a bit!Checkout my new blog post: https://t.co/4aMZaCunAG

I designed an angle joint for the MakerGrid. And with this part, I also printed my first in-place print. That means the joint is not snapped together afterwards, but printed in place and comes rotatable off the printer.

New week of weird constructions and a blog post: https://t.co/brj4iNyu2g
This weekend I developed the MakerGrid, a 3D printable clip based platform for prototyping/tinkering. I also contributed more stuff to the rp-hal Rust embedded ecosystem. #maker #3dprinting #raspberrypi

I've reimplemented the HexKnob for the new HexoTK and wrote/cleaned up examples for SD card access and driving an WS2812 LED strip on an Raspberry Pi Pico using Rust.

Hope everyone had a great new year! I certainly had and put some time into my homepage and first blog post about #3dprinting #maker #3dprinter read it at https://t.co/vcCiq1t8ij

An essential widget is the text entry widget for almost every GUI toolkit. So here I started work on a new entry for HexoTK. #programming #coding #gui #guidesign #rustlang

[WeirdConstructor @WeirdConstruct1]

Ported the WichText widget to HexoTK today. It's good that all the toolkits I tried used femtovg, so porting the drawing code, was the easiest task. #programming #coding #gui #guidesign #rustlang

The third iteration of the case design. I did add a light sensor holder and also had to gave the pico board more clearance. Also the alignment helpers on top were moved too much out and I had to make them smaller again. #rustlang. #maker #makers #rgbled #3dprinting #3dprinter

[WeirdConstructor @WeirdConstruct1]

After a morning of designing a case for the Raspberry Pi Pico and printing, I found a few things I need to adjust for the next iteration. As usual, most holes or measurements are too tight for the inaccuracies of the 3D printer. #maker #makers #raspberrypico #3dprinting

Here is the RGB LED cube connected to the #raspberrypipico for developing it's firmware in #rustlang. #maker #markers #raspberrypico #rp2040 #embedded #rgbled

[WeirdConstructor @WeirdConstruct1]

Soldering the internals of the RGB LED cube has been a small challenge but worked out fine. I was afraid the hot glue would not hold or the solder heat would melt the PLA. The hardware design took about 9 iterations to get to this state. #3dprinting #3dprinted #maker #markers

I've been working on the RGB LED cube project yesterday and today. The current goal is to make a little lamp that enables on dawn for a few hours automatically. Ultimately I want to make a bigger more modular and addressable lamp. #raspberrypipico #rp2040 #maker #rustlang
