#7 - The hardest mechanical issues I've had to debug have always been solved by simplifying the problem - making a jig or a model that isolates the issue. Sometimes the process of making the tools itself reveals the solution.

#5 - I always thought that ID drawings had to be really beautiful, but I've been surprised how effective lo-fi, high-speed doodles and cardboard prototypes have been. The point is to unblock a decision, after all.

#2 - 3D printing has quietly gotten way better over the last 10 years! Many people do not realize when a poetry camera prototype is 3D printed. Some, when learning it is, think it's better quality than generic Amazon plastic stuff, which makes sense. The tolerances are better.

100 things I've learned about hardware by building poetry camera
#1 - Hardware has gotten faster! Rapid aluminum tooling can take ~1 week and create thousands of units, if you're willing to sink in ~10-50k

Perhaps the best part of working on poetry camera is that it’s got me writing poetry again

For most of my 20s, I had a fear of birthday parties and avoided hosting them. What if no one shows up? A couple years ago I decided to face my fears and start having birthday parties again. I am so happy that I did! For my 31st birthday party we did natural dyeing #earnestpost
