Ever since I started making stuff out of Lego Technic, I’ve had a shortage of frame and panel pieces. Since we got our 3D printer, I’ve been trying to find 3D print files for those parts. Then yesterday, I found some print files for a bunch of Lego parts. I wanted to print the framesContinue reading “Making Lego Parts”

Since earlier least year, my grandfather and I have been trying to get his old wire welder to work. The welder used to be in his old plumbing shop, and we found that someone had used it a little bit and put in the wrong size wire. After we changed the wire to the rightContinue reading “Welding”

A while ago, papa call mom to ask her if we could help him put up the poles for the zipline. Ben got there first, and helped papa mix concrete to hold the pole in place. The plan was to pour some concrete, stick the zipline pole in it, and then put in a cardboardContinue reading “The Zipline”

We got Some DIY gem ornaments a few days ago. The ornaments are like color-by-number and haveContinue reading “Our Christmas Tree Ornaments”

Back on January 12th, I tried making a snow cat with Lego Technic. I got it to drive on snow but the motors didn’t work in the cold. Then I decided to turn it into a tank and put a Nerf gun on it. I finished the first version of the tank by the endContinue reading “My Lego Tank”

In our room, we each have shelves next to our beds for our stuff. My brother Hank filled his with random junk and old Star Wars Lego sets that he got from one of our 27-gallon buckets of Lego. He also likes to horde junk, like broken penguin ornaments, and use random things to makeContinue reading “Our Room”

On Monday, I put up our fake Christmas tree. It is 9ft tall and it weighs a little over 70 pounds. It is made of four sections. It has three different light modes: white, multi color, and slowly changing from white to multi. We had to get a new tree because the one we gotContinue reading “Our Christmas Tree”

Last month, I 3D printed a cat feeder for our cat, Angus. The one I chose to print has three parts: a funnel with a tray for him to eat out of, a tank to hold the extra food, and a lid. I printed the lid and funnel with black filament. I ran out ofContinue reading “Our Cat’s Feeder”

A few months ago, I made a bed for our cat out of some shelves. Then, a month or two later, I put a second floor and an attic on it. He usually sleeps on the second floor because he can look out the window. He used to sleep on the bottom until I addedContinue reading “Our Cat’s Bed”

On Christmas of 2022, we got a 3D printer. It’s an Anycubic Kobra Max. It can print 17 inches tall and has a 15 by 15 inch base. It can print PLA, ABS, PETG, and TPU filament. Here I’m printing one of nine pieces for a Scrap Mechanic piston made by Fizz_Mechanic3D that I foundContinue reading “Our 3D Printer”
