Oh, why, hello there. How are you? I'm doing alright. A little tired I suppose.
It's been a good 9 months since the last post, and I've been busy crafting products at Sensitile Systems.
However, I've begun stirring once again, trying to plan out the next stages of life. So, I added two projects to my portfolio site: the Manta Garlic Press and the Mixmaster Model. Granted, these are both from 2012 and 2011 respectively.
I'm also working on updating the Manta Garlic Press at the moment. I changed the model to make it slightly easier to manufacture and then sent a digital file to the 3D printing company Shapeways. I also ordered a couple parts from Ye Olde McMaster-Carr in order to make the two parts of the garlic press connect and, well, work. Time and testing will tell if this project is worth more time. Perhaps I'll produce one in solid metal like my plan originally was, some 3 years ago.

Here's the Manta Garlic Press as it is now, a 3D Model. 3 years ago I attempted to CNC rout this model out of resin, but the router could not work to an appropriate fidelity (meaning that the holes for extruding garlic and the pegs for cleaning it out were impossible, even after practically doubling the size of the press)
I'll keep you posted. Maybe. Perhaps. Merhaps.
