End of Summer
I started playing basketball again after moving back to Canada. It’s all thanks to a friend (ex-coworker) who introduced me to his special group of basketball friends who have met each other from playing in the same court for over 10 or even 20 years. Yesterday was the last time a few of us will […]

Canada Day Week
Finally completed the “bunk bed” and put in the finishing touches to conclude the den renovation project. That was my major accomplishment during this past memorable Canada Day week. The week was made memorable without needing to leave the comfort of my own home. First came a full rainbow after some light rain the day […]

June
Have been continuously working on renovating the small den at home. The DIY “bunk bed” I imagined had a little stability issue and I had to design some new custom 3D-printed components to strengthen a small cantilevered cavity. The issue had now been successfully overcome and I should be able to put in the finishing […]

Home Studio
It has been about a month since the site visit, but I still haven’t heard back from the owner of the studio space I hoped to rent. I started designing and renovating the small den in my condo. It will eventually be transformed into a space for work, storage, and a second bedroom for myself […]

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 […]
