Raspberry pi recently announced its latest model of the Raspberry Pi. It’s called the Raspberry Pi 400. It’s not clear that it is available for purchase yet. I heard about it first from a podcast called SQPN that discusses technology. It is basically a Raspberry Pi put into a keyboard, so the Raspberry Pi 400…
Hoverboard?
Two Saturdays ago was “yard sale day,” and my Mom, my little sister Sophie, and Johanna went garage sailing with my friend Adrian’s family, and one of the things that Adrian got was a free hoverboard. I had assumed that this hoverboard was broken, so I asked if I could borrow it to try to fix…
Ender-3 Has Arrived
Yesterday the Creality Ender-3 arrived. In a post I did last week. I explained that I had ordered an Ender-3 off of eBay. It took about a week to arrive. I was excited to open the big box and start assembling. Assembling the printer was easier than I had expected, after a few bumps of…
Using an iPod Touch as a OctoCam?

And what I like the most about the game is that the community can…
Octoprint Apps

TinkerCad
Recently I found an online 3d modeling program called TinkerCad. I found Tinkercad through fusion 360 (which my brother Gideon uses), which is a more complex 3D design program by Autodesk. TinkerCad is fun because it is super simple, but it’s also different from most other programs. For example, you can use one shape to…
