It's time for trick (or treat) photography. People tell me I should smile more in pictures. Ah, maybe next year. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! #halloween #happyhalloween #trickortreat #3dartist #3dprinted #photography #illusion
Halloween picture. Trick photography portrait with half regular face and half a 3D printed skull from a CT scan. Lit with a red light.

Phantom of the Opera - my first time watching a silent film. Not shocking or scary by today's standards but still great cinematic story telling 100 years later. #phantomoftheopera #halloween #movies #silentmovies #horror #greatmovie #lonchaney
Still shot from the 1925 silent movie Phantom of the Opera. A close up of the phantom. He is dressed as the Red Death during his appearance at the masquerade ball at the Opera house.

Finding ways to continue projects in spite of chronic health issues. I've been looking for more streamlined ways of finishing 3D prints. Up on the testing block: acrylic paste to smooth prints. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #murphy #robocop #3dartist
Picture of 3D printed parts for a model of Murphy's head from the movie RoboCop. The parts re on a white surface next to a bottle of acrylic paste.

Getting into the Halloween spirit watching scary movies all month. Rewatching the '82 Poltergeist movie, I just noticed a head(s) sculpted into the tree that terrorizes Robbie. I love finding Easter eggs in my favorite movies. #80s #poltergeist #halloween #scary #movies #eastereggs #props
Screenshot from the 1982 Poltergeist movie showing the tree outside Robbie's window looking over Robbie's shoulder. Lightning flash lights up the tree and you can see a face, maybe 3 faces, sculpted into the tree.

Fix it in post. Wasn't sure if this area of the 3D print was salvageable. But 100 grit sandpaper and a half hour later and it's already cleaned up pretty nice. #lulzbot #3dfuel #robocop #murphy #3dprinting
Split pictureof a 3D printed part. The top shows the 3D printed part with a defect on a thin area. The bottom shows the same part but the defec is almost completely gone.

I'm not a hoarder, I'm an upcycler. I end up keeping a lot of things that I would normally throw out like this broken coaxial cable. I kept thinking, one day I'll find a use for it. I did. It's the perfect size for Murphy's servos. #lulzbot #3dfuel #robocop #murphy #3dprint #upcycle #scifi #replica
Composite image of a coaxial cable upcycled and used as the ends of a replica of Murphy from the RoboCop franchise.

This sucks (fumes). Just about done with my fume hood 2.0. big improvements from the first version. Bigger work volume, more light, more powerful fan. But I'm still keeping it green - up cycling boxes and shipping bags for the vent. #lulzbot #3dfuel #upcycle #3dprinting #3dartist #repurpose

Imagine...

#knightrider #scalemodel #80s #transam #kitt #imagination #drive #nostalgia
Looking over the front seat of KITT from the TV show Knight Rider. The dashboard is not lit up but you can see the gauges. The steering wheel is tilted as if making a high speed turn. The scene is lit by a single source creating a play of light and shadow across the scene.

Murphy deconstructed. Took time out to do some photography while I set up my paint/exhaust booth. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #robocop #murphy #80s, #cyborg
3D print or Murphy's head from the 1987 movie RoboCop. The pieces of the 3D print are spread out on a table with a grid pattern on it. The 3D printed face has its eyes lit up with red lights.

You gotta have balls to do a 3D print like this. Ball joints for the RoboCop Murphy head. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #robocop #murphy #funny

Limited seating. Carpeted KITT's interior floor and added seats. Slow progress but progress is progress. #scalemodel #knightrider #kitt #partwork #80s #cars #transam #pontiac

More RoboCop parts. This grill panel is proving deceptively tricky to print. #lulzbot

Art imitating life. KITT from the TV show Knight Rider had a fictional turbine engine. The scale model I'm working on has a turbine engine based on the real Chrysler Turbine Car engine from the early 60's. #knightrider #kitt #turbinecar #scalemodel

Gambling in Vegas. Took a chance 3D printing these parts supported only by tip. #lulzbot #3dfuel #robocop #3dprinting
3D printing long cylindrical parts supported only by tip. These parts are 3D prints of the servos on Robocops unmasked neck.

Taking a break. Encountered this odd 3D print layer shift. Only part of the layer shifted. Instead of reprinting, I fixed it by first breaking the model exactly at the layer shift, realigning the pieces, then plastic welded the part back together.

This is as close to being a mechanic as I'm going to get. Building KITT's front suspension and steering gear box. #knightrider #scalemodel #fanhomeknightrider
