#3dprinting

Our featured creator does 3D printing. Have you ever? (Share a pic)

I bought a cheapish printer several years ago and printed everything under the sun. It's been mostly idle for a few years, always with some fixable but annoying thing that I caused by trying to upgrade it. I fix that, print a while, break it again, and a few more months go by. Maybe the coolest things I printed were for my wife at the time, who is a classicist and history teacher. This is the Gayer-Anderson cat, a Bast(et) statue found in an Egyptian graveyard, now in the British Museum. She is very nearly life-size (the original is about 31cm, I think, and this one is maybe 28 or 29). She sits on my ex's desk "to judge the students."

I moved to a new instance, here's my re- #introduction

Hello people. I'm Ari, although I'm better known by my nick APz or apzpins in the social media. This is my pinball and retrogaming account.

I'm an IT guy by day, dedicating my free time to keep #pinball alive. My hobby has turned from owning a single game at home to an #arcade full of them over the years, with my partner @quester helping me run it.

Lately I've been leaning more more towards the restoration and maintenance of the games. I especially love early solid state pins.

I'm a very #DIY -spirited person, often having to come up with creative ways to fix something that's been long obsolete. I do a lot of #3dprinting, tabletop #cnc and #laser'ing, among other things.

In addition to pinball machines, I'm into mechanical and video arcade games, #retrocomputing, owning plenty of machines like #Commodore, #Atari, PCs and old servers.

I run a #Peertube instance to archive my video projects at https://video.apz.fi/

I mostly post in English, but I'll reply in other languages where I can, I can do #Finnish and conversational #Spanish.

I love animals and I often post pictures of our cats.
