I finally got my 3d printing setup complete in my fabrication lab. I picked up an LCD to serve as the display for the raspberry pi. This permits me to visually see pronterface on the screen to monitor that stats from a distance.

I’ve also hung a closet rod above it to hold the various filaments. This is working pretty well, but pronterface is a tad choppy on the pi.

One of my other hobbies that I don’t blog much about is photography. It has taken a bit of a backburner lately. I have an upcoming trip to Alaska, and I’d really like to be able to photograph wildlife. After much consideration, I went with a Canon 100-400L lens. The push/pull design is a little strange, but works satisfactorily. I’ve rented this lens before and it produced solid results. Hopefully it will yield some memorable photos.
