A former client approached me to scale up a custom minifig I made for him about a year ago. I kinda got carried away and scaled up the LEGO minifig up to 10 times! At the other end of the scale, I started experimenting with a smaller 0.2 mm nozzle and successfully shrunk down DEXTER by half the size! Decided to try printing my recent prototypes of HK street signs using the different scales, that turned out to be a lot of fun.
Went out to Kwai Chung to help a plastic recycling friend set up a giant 3D printer. We got the printer running and printed its first sample object. Although the print quality was not too satisfactory, it can certainly be improved with more tuning and experience over time. It was a milestone and I can foresee future collaborations with him to print objects 3 to 4 times the size of what I’m capable of at my studio!
With less than one month to go for my return to Canada, I’m still prototyping and helping others instead of cleaning up and packing stuff. Luckily, my sister said she’ll be going to a week long trip with my brother-in-law in mid October, so I‘ll be postponing my trip yet again to late October. Had an informal family meeting with my parents and sister over dim sum on Friday and my plans seemed to have gotten final approval. That brought a little relief from the anxiety I’ve been feeling regarding the upcoming big changes.
May God continue to guide my steps and grant me peace in facing upcoming challenges. 🙏🏻
