I'm into 3D printing, laser engraving, CAD design and Automation.

The symptom was slightly slower speed and the cable melting near the battery. Completely invisible until I took the blade off. At least it was an easy fix.19 Jun 2026 05:52 +0000at://did:plc:77eqpnmnqrf4qdbf3mcdmfhl/app.bsky.feed.post/3momnnrjn7c2thttps://bsky.app/profile/coryrhoades.bsky.social/post/3mmnk3paayk2mI used to say "It's photoshopped, for sure.

Usually at Amateur radio festivals I have some 3d prints with me, but primarily focus on my live onsite engraving with my xtool f1. This year I think I'll have a small selection that you can order for engraving only.14 Apr 2026 02:01 +0000at://did:plc:77eqpnmnqrf4qdbf3mcdmfhl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjgbxv2sws26https://bsky.app/profile/coryrhoades.bsky.social/post/3mjgb6hsrfs26I was curious how much bigger of a crystal dragon I could print on the H2S vs my old P1S. Am not disappointed, over 3 feet!14 Apr 2026 01:47 +0000at://did:plc:77eqpnmnqrf4qdbf3mcdmfhl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjgb6hsrfs26https://bsky.app/profile/coryrhoades.bsky.social/post/3mje23vhfuk2cThis cracked me up. A part I designed (carb air filter adapter) got banned from this one track. They made some funny claims about the performance. On 4 dynos and 7 motors it always added 10-13 horsepower. The day after this ban, we sold more than any prior day.13 Apr 2026 04:35 +0000at://did:plc:77eqpnmnqrf4qdbf3mcdmfhl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mje23vhfuk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/coryrhoades.bsky.social/post/3mjduj6qky22cLaser engraving some hat patches too13 Apr 2026 02:55 +0000at://did:plc:77eqpnmnqrf4qdbf3mcdmfhl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjduj6qky22chttps://bsky.app/profile/coryrhoades.bsky.social/post/3mjdnsorlu22tToday we're making wall mounts for crown vic shocks.13 Apr 2026 00:55 +0000at://did:plc:77eqpnmnqrf4qdbf3mcdmfhl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjdnsorlu22thttps://bsky.app/profile/coryrhoades.bsky.social/post/3mjbggcsui22wAnother recent project I've wrapped up - Helmet dryer with scene tray.12 Apr 2026 03:38 +0000at://did:plc:77eqpnmnqrf4qdbf3mcdmfhl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjbggcsui22whttps://bsky.app/profile/coryrhoades.bsky.social/post/3mjb7js56fc2wI recently revised a design for a storage container to instead work as a storage solution for gears. 5 sets per box, and since it's based on a standard grid they're stackable.

Made this template for my xtool f1 slide so I can engrave 7 metal business cards at a time, which is nice. Just some simple tabs to hold it together, since it's longer than what I can print.05 Nov 2025 21:41 +0000at://did:plc:77eqpnmnqrf4qdbf3mcdmfhl/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4vzckdsak2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/coryrhoades.bsky.social/post/3m4m4qio7kk2xRandom silverware holder for split sink.

I ended up throwing away the idea of having a lip to make assembly easier and instead made a clamp... "Die?" I guess? I put each half in their side (the eye socket is press fit), some dabs of CV glue and clamp shut. Much better than the clumsy rods.30 Jul 2025 00:59 +0000at://did:plc:77eqpnmnqrf4qdbf3mcdmfhl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lv5g72hyhc2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/coryrhoades.bsky.social/post/3lv5fy3xg2k2iPublished my first STL, world's simplest model.
