A new concept I’m starting to learn in my Coursera course on React Basics (view post series here) is React “States.” States in React is an interesting way of storing the “state” or current information about a variable or function. ⓘ As a new topic, I’m still learning how React works. For an actual professional,…

Designing LED Mounts
The concept: An easily detachable clip-on assembly to the legs of the drone. Has mounting for up to LED modules shining in all directions. A diffuser is mounted on the bottom to enclose the whole assembly. With some inspiration from Stan Humphries’s design, I was able to get started designing in Fusion.
Meta Front-End Developer Course | 2 Months in
What made this assignment different from the other courses was the peer-reviewed grading. This is where I had some issues with Coursera. The downside is that they only support uploading HTML and CSS files, for the final project, making it challenging to review my peers’ websites
The Fusion 360 Experience: Turning Ideas into Reality with Printrbot 3D Printer
I recently wanted to learn more about Fusion 360 3D designing. To further my 3D modeling experience, I started another project, this time to redesign one of my existing 3D printers from scratch. It started with looking at the Prusa Mini+ and how the X gantry worked. The Prusa Mini is an FDM 3D printer…
Best 3D Printer Model Sites
When getting introduced to 3D printing, it was a little challenging to find the right 3D model site where I could find accessible/affordable 3D models. After almost two years of experience with 3D printing, I’ve found my favorite spots to find fun and exciting designs that others have made. Here’s my list: Want to see…
First Successful Print On My New Printer!
Yesterday I finally got a successful print-off on my new printer, the cr-10 s5, after many weeks of troubleshooting and learning how this printer works. I realized that the problem was that I had made these mistakes which led to clicking on the extruder motor. I got a print to successfully finish and not have…
Reversed Fan Wiring For my Creality 3D Printer
When I purchased my 3d printer, I bought it from a previous owner who was in the middle of upgrading the hotend and the extruder configuration and had not thoroughly tested it. After looking at the fan configuration, I noticed that the extruder fan had not been on when the printer turned on. Instead, the…
Customizing my 3D Printer Boot Screen
When working on my printer yesterday, I had to change the firmware to accommodate the new bl touch, and I wanted to update my Marlin version to a newer one. Marlin is the flavor of code that a lot of 3d printer firmware runs on. So I used firmware from TH3D Studio for my specific…
(Short Read) How I fixed the X-Axis Stabilization Issue
I had an issue when installing a DDX (Direct Drive Extruder) to my ender 3. It was not stable. The extruder kept wobbling, and I could quickly move it up and down, which was not normal. I tried tightening most of the bolts holding the mainframe of the extruder mount to the belt, but none…
Troubleshooting 3D Printer Issues
In my last blog post, I wrote about getting a new 3D Printer, the CR-10 S5. As of this moment, I am awaiting the arrival of the Pei sheet coming in the mail. So I thought I’d take this time to work on my smaller printer (the Ender 3), which I had upgraded to a…
