One Month
It has been just over a month since I returned to TO. So far I had settled in a temporary condo rental and quickly had a mini design studio set up, bought a very old car from a childhood friend, seen over 30 condo units and just nearly bought one last week! Made considerable progress […]

Two Weeks
Just a bit over two weeks had passed since I returned to TO. With the help of many friends here, I had quickly settled in. I had quickly set up a mini studio in the condo after one week and had started working on some 3DP projects remotely in the second week. All this was […]

More Farewells
Hastily finished up an experimental project with 3D printing movable type characters. Successfully printed the functional “stamps” as small as 28pt using a smaller 0.2 nozzle. Happily met up my studio neighbor, an old printing company that still has a huge archive of antique movable type characters, to show them the prototypes and also to […]

Still Prototyping…
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 […]

Mid-Autumn
Went back to my parents’ place for dinner on Tuesday because it was Mid-Autumn and I hoped they wouldn’t feel too lonely on the festive day. My parents were arguing over little things throughout dinner. The argument didn’t stop as they drove me home after dinner. I felt miserable seeing my parents bickering like that. […]

Before I Go Back to Canada…
Finished off my PP (Plant pots & Polypropylene) recycling project with more 3D printing tests and one last IG post. Cleaned up the studio mess resulting from the project and packed up many empty spools to pass to a friend who will hopefully be able to make many spools of recycled plastic filaments after I […]

PP Recycling
Took a day off on Monday. Took a trip to TST to get some art inspirations from HKMOA. The last time I was in the area was probably about half a year ago already. Spent the whole day there to see all the art and design stuff I wanted to see. Took my time to […]

Shifting Gear…
Finally finished with the redesign of a temporary clothing rack at home to replace the old collapsing one. This new design actually collapsed a few times during assembling, hopefully it will stand for at least a month or so until I move out of the apt and out of the city. Also made considerable progress […]

Studio Visits
Finished the studio cleanup just in time for some studio visits this past week. A brother from church whom I met recently visited on Monday afternoon. After the visit, I treated him afternoon tea and visited his office since it’s only 10 min walk from mine! An old CUHK classmate, who’s now an associate professor […]

Studio Cleanup
Designed and made a couple of shelving units at the studio using some old Ikea boards, papertubes, and custom 3D printed joints. The extra shelving units added some much needed space for organizing miscellaneous things at the studio. After a few weeks of dedicated work, the studio is now more or less cleaned up! My […]
