My first 3D project using the Prusa i3 Mk3 3D printer turns out great
After building the Prusa i3 Mk3 3D printer with the help of my daughter, I discovered that the most difficult part in 3D printing is making 3D models from scratch. Although I have made 3D models for use with CNC projects, I had never made a design using Autodesk fusion 360. There was a big…
Young student building a 3D printer and handling electronics as part of STEM education
A series of photos depicting a young, mixed raced girl undertaking the immersive experience of learning how build and understand how 3D printers work. The printer itself is shown during the build process, with parts still not assembled. All branding has been removed from the actual 3D printer to make it look as generic as…
Classic red arcade game joystick with animated stills in up, down, left and right movements
A video game controller or input device designed primarily for arcade cabinets. I made this vector design in the classic style of an 8-way, ball top joystick with a chrome metal shaft.

Retro Arcade Sign With Light Bulbs
I bought one of those arcade signs from Hobby Lobby a long time ago but just finally got around to mod it. The arcade sign comes with fake printed-on light bulbs and it’s made of tin. I wanted to add real light bulbs to it, but finding a set of cheap light bulbs was hard….

This became an option for me after leveraging the work of forum member Antos, and…

My Custom “Featured” Game Art For Use With Hyperspin’s Special Art Feature
I needed to highlight specific arcade games that I enjoy, in Hyperspin. So I started using the Special Art feature that displays the joystick, Free Play and Genre info.

Shapeoko 2 Build Is Under Construction
This is my Shapeoko 2 CNC Mill that I’m putting together. I’ve worked with laser cutters in the past and I’m hoping that knowledge base; helps me with this project. However, I’ve never built a CNC machine or worked with one. I don’t even know anything about CNC, so building it is taking me a…
USB Optical Rotary Joystick Made From A Zippy Joystick And A USB Mouse
I made a contraption to play arcade games which use rotary joysticks such as Caliber .50. My arcade cabinet (pedestal design) already has too many joysticks, so adding an authentic rotary joystick was not an option. I usually play games that require a regular ball top (such as street fighter), therefore, I needed a joystick…
Final Star Force Hyperspin Theme
I made a Hyperspin theme for the arcade game “Final Star Force”. It shows both fighters (the Blue-Nova and the Red-Nova) with shooting lasers and thrusters. The animation of the lasers and propulsion device were done in Flash and exported as swf’s. I also added a moving star field using the hypertheme particle system. Enjoy.
