Running #BarbackV2 at #makerfairebayarea this weekend is really driving the desperation of getting the next revision out. Cleanability is still a nightmare and more an more of the 3mm hardware is getting stripped out, pretty soon the motor arch will be barely hanging on. I'm getting close on the new tray design and really hope to start building parts of it this week. But had a blast pouring, got a lot of feedback and ideas for solving many of the other small problems.

Whoa! What a Saturday at Maker Faire Bay Area! We were so busy all day that I never got a chance to post anything! Here’s what our booth looks like, we’ll be there one more day, tomorrow (Sunday) until 5pm!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, I’ve had so many great convos and seen so many fun things! We’ve already sold out of a few Glowie shapes and the @wizard Pixelblaze Beautiful Box Kit!

We’ll be bringing all of these to Maker Faire Bay Area next weekend! They can be finished as a necklace, fish hook earrings, or lobster claw earrings for hooking onto hoops, your choice. #glowies #alpenglowies #ledjewelry #makerfaire #mfba2025 #makerfairebayarea

Mastodon Information Directory! I'm hoping to find people (groups or individuals) doing cocktail or beverage robotics attending #makerfairebayarea this year. I'd like to bring #BarbackV2 to show off and if I could jump in with a group doing similar stuff that'd be even better! Otherwise roam around and serve mocktails?

Who else made it out to @makemagazine #MakerFaireBayArea last weekend? I brought up the #MakerFaireOrangeCounty #GiantLiteBrite games to share with everyone there and it was a blast! Even Pooch got in on the fun! #Maker #3DPrinting #LEDs #Repkord
