Our Loom Project Is Getting Very Interesting!
I am finding that 3D modeling and printing custom looms involves many more variables than I ever imagined. There are so many choices to make even from the first step of beginning in Fusion 360, and the terminology is taking me a while to learn. I am finding that it is hard to do something […]

Version 1 of our new Loom – THANKS Ammon and Andrew at UVa’s Scholars’ Lab Makerspace!
Printing It was so much fun watching the first version of our Baby-hat Loom as it printed. I feel like it is mine –even though I needed a LOT of help with working in Fusion 360 and then slicing the model to prepare for the actual printing. I wanted to quickly print a “mock-up” to […]

Thank you, Charlottesville Tomorrow, for putting us on the Google Earth 3D map!
I sure learned a lot when I stopped by Charlottesville Tomorrow‘s beautiful new office on the downtown mall recently! Brian Wheeler gave me an enthusiastic demonstration of the new 3-D models that they are beginning to add to Google Earth in Charlottesville Tomorrow’s Visualizing Our Community Initiative. I think we have all learned recently with […]
