Small devices

It is a continuing project about making something useful with limited resources in hand.

It is also a process of handling techniques like 3d modelling, 3d printing and etc., and about experimentation to testify ideas in real life.

I set some principles for the project:


  1. The device should be an easy fix.
  2. The device should be optimised to be 3d printed.
  3. The device should help me to understand the gap between ideas and physical world.
  4. The device should help me to understand more about 3d modelling and printing.

  5. Think less, do more.
  6. Kill a bit time.
  7. Have some fun.
