I have a Thing-o-Matic with a heated build platform and Greg's Hinged Accessible Extruder. I got it in the fall of 2011 and have been printing ferociously ever since. I design objects mostly in Sketchup and enjoy sharing freely on the Thingiverse. I mostly prefer to create functional objects, but I also enjoy creating science fiction props, and other more whimsical designs. I believe in elegant solutions to problems that have gone through a design-test-redesign process. While my designs are free, I am available to be hired to put this hobby to practical use!
