Printing 42 keys at once

I’m working on creating some gcode to create a whole set of key caps in one print, it is getting tedious to print them one at a time, and my past experience with my printer proves that printing a bunch of separate pieces increases the chances of failure. I don’t want to end up with 42 keys that are half done and a ball of filament. figuring out the coordinates # [1] To figure out the coordinates I printed one key cap, and manually jogged the printer in position to knock off the cap, then sweep it out of the way. [2] print head in position to knock [3] Position before the knock [4] Position after the sweep gcode # [5] I opened the gcode split it into start.gcode, end.gcode, and part.gcode. start.gcode # [6] ;FLAVOR:Marlin ;TIME:1488 ;Filament used: 0.265511m ;Layer height: 0.12 ;MINX:105.708 ;MINY:101.231 ;MINZ:0.12 ;MAXX:113.512 ;MAXY:118.776 ;MAXZ:17.04 ;TARGET_MACHINE.NAME:Creality Ender-3 S1 Pro ;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 5.8.0 M82 ;absolute extrusion mode ; End...

My Reader Project

In 2024 I built my own reader after years of being bitter about google killing reader more than a decade prior. Seealso All the way back in 2020 I made a post on what I wanted to build into my own reader. It went long forgotten until I tried to make this post and slugs clashed. Reader-2020 [1] Built on markata # [2] I built it on top of my own static site generator markata [3], feedparser (🐍 Parsing RSS feeds with Python [4]), some jinja templating, and tailwind. After putting all the work I have into markata, it makes projects like this fairly easy to build out with just a custom loader to load new posts in.

I've added htmx to my blog

I’ve added htmx [1] to my blog. It’s extra bloatware that I long avoided, but it’s so damn convenient. Ok so it’s not bloatware, but it’s not the theme I was going for. I wanted my site to be as lightweight as possible. I had at one point gone too far and had Mb’s of react that did not provide any value for the end user. can it be done with jinja # [2] {% with feed = markata.feeds.recent_thoughts %} {% include 'feed_sm_partial.html [3]' %} {% endwith %} Feed Partials # [4] markata [5] pre-release 0.8.1.dev10 has been released with support for feed partials on pypi [6]. It’s now part of my blog # [7] Commit aa233 [8] added support for recent posts on each page to be loaded off of this partial.
