		<description><![CDATA[Feeling a little nostalgic today, I dug up an picture of a project that I undertook during my undergrad years. If I recall correctly, this was made while I was in an Experimental Multimedia unit in 2000 and we were learning how to hook up physical sensors to a computer (using an EZIO board and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, not that kind of e-famous. I&#8217;ve been working on a little project lately. It&#8217;s nowhere near complete but after performing the first mechanical test, I figured that I put it up on Thingiverse anyway as a WIP. The project in a nutshell is to produce an animatronic tentacle that responds to one&#8217;s mental state. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I replaced Ubuntu on my laptop with Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). During this time, I haven&#8217;t been doing much printing, just waiting for the geared stepper and other parts. This also meant that up to now, I haven&#8217;t attempted to connect to the Cupcake via LMDE. Anyway when I attempted [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just yesterday, my geared stepper from MakerGear arrived. I&#8217;ve already upgraded my electronics to Makerbot&#8217;s Gen 4 set, so for the firmware and electronics standpoint it was pretty easy. I made a 6-pin to 10-pin cable to hook up the Gen 3 stepper driver. The MakerBot wiki didn&#8217;t give much detail if it was supposed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A week or so ago, I decided to switch over to Skeinforge 007. Mostly because the Raftless script only works with that version. Skeinforge being Skeinforge, it didn&#8217;t carry over all its settings and I had to manually transfer them by hand. Having said that, thanks to the built-in profiles, there was one that for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always wanted a laser cutter. If I could get one, I&#8217;d do so in a heartbeat&#8230; but I do not have a few grand of pocket change to splurge for one, nor do I see myself being in such a position any time soon. But just today I heard about the Lasersaur. It still [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After tons of wrangling, I&#8217;m slowly getting closer to my goal of producing prints of an acceptable quality (and doing so consistently). I had printed Zaggo&#8217;s whistle, but due to extruder issues (as explained below), it was missing a few layers, causing the finished product to be fragile, but if you pressed the layers together [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you thought the Cupcake build went too smoothly over the last few days, think again. It&#8217;s all action and adventure here in the workshop! Seems that the Cupcake needs a little adjustment. The pinch wheel on the extruder occasionally slips, but moving the idler wheel further in and tightening it even more seems to [...]]]></description>

Well, almost&#8230; I have no endstop triggers at the moment, but from what I&#8217;ve been reading, they are not essential. Initial tests seem promising. The extruder works, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have read my last post on the Cupcake CNC, you would have heard of my firmware woes. Basically, what has happened was that I fried the boards (both the motherboard and extruder controller) during hotplate reflow soldering. It seems that the AUD$10 hotplate was simply too crap and the temperature spiked high enough [...]]]></description>
