Hi, I want to say upfront that this will probably be pretty bad, since it’s the first time I’m writing a dev log like this… Anyway, for this project, I chose to work on a violin model using the web-based software Onshape. I’m roughly halfway through—or maybe just at the beginning… I mean, I have the structure down, but the hard part is still ahead. I need to do the finishing touches to make it look good and check that it’s properly converted into a printable file… uh… Yeah, I don’t have much else to say about it right now. So, sorry.
I continued working on the violin; I had already crafted almost the entire lower half and the ornamentation for the middle section.
devlod#3 I’ve just finished assembling some of the parts and the bottom section of the violin; now, all that’s left is the top section and the final finishing touches.
Developer Vlog #4 I’ve finished making most of the violin parts; now I need to assemble everything and add textures and finishing touches.
Devlog #5? I’ve more or less put all the parts together; all that’s left is to add textures, finishing touches, and a stand. I’m not sure if I’ll make a violin bow, too—I tried, but I really couldn’t get the hair right; if I do make one, it’ll probably be without the hair.
Developer Vlog 6 I’m almost done; I really just have a few final touches left and need to make it stand upright. I probably won’t have time to add an arch, since I really need to wrap up this project and get back to studying. I don’t know why—I didn’t do anything to it—but it decided to turn purple; I’ll check everything over and then close out the file and the project. So… this is what it looks like right now.
Dev Vlog 7 So… I’ve solved the color issue and handled the final touches. I’ll work a bit more on the finishing details, then build a stand to mount it on—and that’s it. It should be ready very soon; I think maybe two more updates from now. Hopefully, it’ll be finished sometime tomorrow.
Devlog 7 I’ve just about finished the final touches; all that’s left is to build the stand and add the very last details. I’ll be releasing it in the next devlog.
DevLog 9 I’ve finished everything; I’m publishing it now.

I’m currently building this bot (not just any bot) his name is Neptune. he suggests ideas for your projects which will win you hackathons, I generated a free API key from Groq and pasted it into the code and used Claude Code to refine it further
currently running through some errors so when a user says: “hello” it tells the user its intro and if a user says i dont like your ideas it again, tells its intro.
im posting the bot in nest so i can run it 24/7! i was running through some issues but now they are good and the bot is ready to go!
the bot didnt respond to me no matter what i typed and now its finally responding (yayy!) so now im adding the slash commands.
the bot wasnt responding to slash commands and just completely wasnt working so i did so much modifications and now its finally working!

Added “About Me” Page and Compleating the footer I added a new html that direct you to “about me” page, also added my github, instagram, and stardance profile on the footer under “contact me”
Adding a specialised individual project web Designing a frame that I can reuse to add more projects in the future, also I added an iframe to show my original project booklet Website Link https://engineering-portofolio-by-asta.netlify.app/
A bit of progress before the first class start I was bored and the class haven’t start so I did a small progress in making the second project’s mini site
Progress on the second project Oh boy, this one a big project, so I added sort of like a list of content that you can press to auto scroll to a certaid id’d div Adding a button to auto scroll to a certain div for the first time, it works well!
Stressing out with school Not much progress, just adding some stuff here and there, still stressed with school
Added 3D models on my second project Added 4 3D models of my old design before the final design is proceeded, also I don’t know why but the iframe 3D models structured automatically in the orders I never design (but I’m keeping it and implementing it on other design lol), it’s like an unintended bug that become a feature
Added reverse engineering on my second project This week is not my stardance productive week because I’ts mid-term exam week, so I just added a small update for the site as a streak saver lol
Ships:
My first shipping! I didn’t know that you only get 10 stardust for this mission’s initial shipping… and I’ve put hours in it… Basically! This is my personal website to show off my past projects to anyone, such as university admission team! Complete with page, and section so you can find me on social media faster and easier This is also a website starter that I (or others) can reuse in the future, it’s a frame of html and css that I can just copy and paste for future projects listing Demo link: https://engineering-portofolio-by-asta.netlify.app/ I didn’t use github website hoster because I’ve used netlify before for my other personal website (I stopped working on it because the structure is messy as its my first web project lol) Bugs There’s obviously some bugs along the way, but there’s an unintended bug that after some testing, I come to conclusion to keep it as a feature AI usage decalaration I use AI to find me font and format it to css so I can use it directly, similiarly, I give an AI my in a div structure and told the AI to reformat future I gave...

The main idea was to have everything I would need while studying in one place: a To-Do List, Pomodoro timer, weather, and music.

What I Built: :>To-Do List with adding, deleting and completing tasks :>Tasks saved using Local Storage :>25-minute Pomodoro timer :>Weather search using the Open-Meteo API :>Automatic location detection :>Humidity, temperature, wind and weather conditions :>Lo-fi music player :>Play/pause, volume and progress controls :>Animated Sakura petals Making It Easy to Use: I have deployed it on github pages and made sure it works smoothly so anyone can just open and use with no need of a tutorial. I made many changes to make user experience wayy better: :>You can press Enter instead of having to click the buttons every time. :>Tasks stay saved even after refreshing the page. :>The To-Do List scrolls instead of making the whole dashboard keep getting bigger. :>Weather can either be searched manually or found automatically using your location. :>The important information is visible without having to open different pages. :>I kept the layout compact so the whole project can be demonstrated on one screen. The Theme!! The Sakura theme my favourite part of the design. It is the entire reason I made this in the first place. I always imagined an app like this and I will use this theme in the future as well.

Then I added song progress control and refined the UI of the music player. Then I remade it 5 more times until what we have here. Still not satisfied. I did the. background again to make it look like the sky a little bit. Plain pink looked bad. I am going to make it again. Then started my nightmare. I tried to make my three apps into a dashboard so I created a new div and made it into a grid and then tried to fit all three inside the grid and make it look like it does now. Firstly I had to learn all about how this works and then I had to try it for the first time. The pomodoro and weather kept breaking. All their contents kept spilling out. No matter what I did it was not working. I could not understand what the error was so I wrote new rules at the bottom of the css and due to all that My css is now a 1000 lines long. I am afraid to clean it up because I don’t want it to break. There were so many problems with creating the dashboard. The background was moving when scrolling. The credits are now inside the music player for some reason. When adding the location detector I broke the code and spent 2 hours figuring out what the problem was only for it to be wrong linking of html id of a div.

Starting development on a to-do app. I believe it’s a good project for a beginner like me. For now I have added just added container, input box, add task button and the task list in the HTML. I have also done the basic CSS styling so it currently looks like the image below. After that I have added the basic function of a todo list in javascript. The button adds the text from the input text box to the test list which exists below. That is all I have done for now.

Hello everyone! I am done with the to-do list now. It now functions properly. You can add tasks, delete tasks. complete tasks. The javascript for it was very easy to do once I looked back at my previous project but the CSS destroyed me. I have spent so many hours on it. It is so difficult to design it because I don’t have a tutorial to copy the design from. Also damn is everything so difficult. I spend two hours trying everything to figure out how to add different properties to different things which were essentially in the same list because I had appended them from Javascript.

Finally added the pomodoro. It was more complicated than I thought it would be. I had to learn a lot of how JavaScript processes math.

Final Devlog!! I am finally done with this one! I have polished UI as much as I could. The CSS is a nightmare. I tried to change the entire UI but it broke the entire thing and I kept adding new attributes at the bottom instead to redoing the already existing ones so it became so messed up that I could not tell what was working and what was not. So I just kept adding until everything just worked out and it somehow works and I am not going to touch it. I also tried to make audio play instantly as site opens but failed.

I also added the scroll feature to the to do list so whenever too many tasks are added it will just become scrollable. And I removed the scroll bar because it looks bad. With this it is officially over. This project was way out of my league as a beginner. Thanks for reading!!!!!
Back to this after long! I have added a few features to the to-do list. Added task priorities which can be selected when adding the tasks and can also be edited directly on the task. Also added task filtering for filtering based on task completion and priority. Added similar css to match my theme as everyone loved the theme when i shipped. I plan to add more songs and also add more features to the pomodoro and weather app and then ship the update!

SORRY FOR BAD POST STRUCTURE, REALLY, I don’t know how to post devlog cleanly hehe so there are 6 pages home will appear when you enter the website, like some short introduction, projects, blogs, PHOTOS! yes, I love photography, so I will put my photos here, but I need a website to store my photos so I can use a link in the image tag, but idk which one is better :l, and the last one is a profile for more about me, like certificates and experience, something like that and I’ve done 3 pages for now (I’m really bad at deciding which final design I should use ;) ) in project, blog, and home(I’m not sure abt this one, and I will change some layout later cuz I didn’t like it) my favorite is the navigation that I made, and you need to use the TAB button then it will appear. I think that’s interesting btw, for the blog, I use Markdown. I know it’s not the best practice, but I just want to share my stories, and I use react for this project, and I’m not used to code in react and am trying to learn more thank you really
FINAL UPDATE My personal web is doneee!!! YYAYAY but I need some changes to the data. I still use dummy data to test things out (so it’s not the real one ok)
Added more data and made the design responsive! I’m having trouble fixing some elements so they fit properly on mobile, so I also cross-checked it on different phones :p
Ships:
It’s a personal also a portfolio website that I’m really proud of that I’m trying to achieve a game-like feel with the design, and the challenging part was making everything responsive and getting the layouts to work on different screen sizes while learning React :p...

ProtonOS hit phase 0.6; I just added the boot screen, and after that I added a small top bar where you can see the time and also a cute desktop wallpaper. Now I will add apps and VFS (Virtual File system) for my OS … looking forward to phase 0.7
ProtonOS Update (v-6.5) Added a clean top bar with a live clock and date. Created a lightweight Calculator app using Flexbox. Added smooth Y-axis animations for UI elements. Learned and implemented CSS pseudo-elements and @keyframes animations. Standardized the app UI—future apps will reuse the same interface, with only layout positions and underlying logic changing. looking forward to (v-7.0)
update on ProtonOS So today I finally made my first app a calculator for my OS. OMG, it was so hard and long to make a app i dont know how people are making os this fast oww … i am not using ai that much so it should take time haha .. well thanks for reading this devlog here is a nice picture of how the calculator looks
So update!! i changed the whole ui and made it SpiderOs instead of ProtonOs i am very big fan of spiderman and it is inspired by that only i am working on this Os FEATURES - so i added two apps one calculator and a notepad the notepad is underconstruction i am writing this code from hand without using ai much so it would be helpful if you tell me how it looks Features to add next - A file manager and a taskbar is what i will head for the next time ( Thanks for reading, peace!!)
so update i nearly completed my spidey os its more than done i added daily bugle , notes app , settings app a terminal those are under construction but yeah i did that not only that i also added niomorphism style and the best part a Daily Bugle app where you can read news on your os
update !!! its version (2.0) here i added multiple draggable windows with custom covers and also music player and a cool boot up screen and a lil mascot of spider man also a pop up screen on the left of the screen and now the webos 1 is done i spend nearly 2 months on this and now finally its here and i am going to ship it … thanks for reading
Ships:
so i finalized my webOs it meets all the requirement for the mission not only that it also has a very good readme file that you can read as well as it has several features that you spider man fanz will absolutely like and also can get a lil bit sad it has a lot of features some of them are still under construction tho i am shipping it and i will polish it on the next webOs2 mission . thanks for reading .

You can’t build a printer in a week. Yeah, I know. You’ve got eight or so days left. And you spent the last three grinding Geometry Dash. Yeah, 158% on nine paws, woo! And you’re not at all concerned about the time? The what? welcome back! it’s 12:08 AM on the morning of 9/22/2026, and boy did i realize the entire weekend and the extra day off disappeared in a blink of an eye. yes, i finally beat the level, now moving on to something way more difficult, but first, it’s time to address the bigger issue in the room. yes, technically fermion, but also time. pause the music, it’s getting a bit serious here. we have a solid 8 or so days left. we didnt spend the weekend well, i didn’t spend the weekend well. but hey, we can’t get that time back. what a mindset, instead, i gotta start actually spending my time efficiently. yes, i beat the level, but now, i need to take a break. not because of exhaustion, but because we literally don’t have enough time to play gd at the same time. its just not able to fit there. It’s not meant to be easy, you know. who is that guy in italics? idk, they’re kinda weird. anyways, question is, what now? 8 days. lock in. if we cant get this done by the end of stardance, id probably look into exporting this to a similar ysws, hopefully to finish it there in time for the winter season, because that’s a pretty fun time to build stuff before build season starts, and when college applications are mostly over! that said, back to the cad… ok, we need to sort out the motor support first, one second. ok, that should be good, ok, ive got a plan. but it requires the tool head to be both unbalanced, weirdly shaped, and quite low. of course, that’s if we’re still going with the small tool idea, we can always just slap three extra motors and call it a day, but thats too easy and probably more sane. theres no avoiding it, gotta get designing that now mfw 8.8cm for the available tool space (horiziontally) at that point might as well just have two tool heads that swap out with the motor and all at the front im thinking of a ton of possible configurations, lets write them out idea 1 z motors are in the front, belted to the lead screws corexy motors move to the side still doesnt solve the issue that the tool head areas front does look cooler no neat place to put the tool head idea 2 similar to the first idea in the the z motors and lead screws are belted together, but the z motor is above, facing backwards, belted to the lead screw, so that it can be at an angle (getting this to the other side would be wonky, but perhaps doable) this should move the lead screws closer to the sides, giving more space! (also look into different things that move on the t screw that are smaller, perhaps smaller than T8 lead screws?) huh. i seem to have forgotten to add yesterdays log to the website. oops. well, that just got added, some weird time stuff but yeah. well yeah, it’s 1:17 AM, and i think i like the second idea. checking the cad, it’s probably possible to fit this (its gonna be close?), so thats cool! anyways, yeah, good night!"}, {"post_id": 72098, "ts": "2026-09-22T05:14:03Z", "hours": 2.2067, "text": "9/20/2026 - 11th Update! missed one day, but miss two? i dont think so. anyways, dramatic opening aside, it is 11:25 PM, just celebrated cake day (a couple days late but still great :D), so yeah, in celebration of becoming yet another year older (my foot hurts), time to get cadding! (brb) ok, it’s 11:50 PM, might need to lock in, in other news, doggie just got 97% (again) and 91% on grief tonight! might want to tune in (if youre reading this from the future, today’s stream 390) anyways, first things first, we need to find a stepper motor ideally with lead screws built in (those exist?) (yeah, apparently so) ok, it’s 11:58 PM, gonna go watch a movie, brb! ok ive returned at 1:30 AM to focus on two things at once (i gotta get the sticker streak continuing), so yeah ok now what are the heights of mgn7c rails… why does no one have cad models for mgn7c rails that arent filled with other stuff… ok 1:46 AM and now im actually gonna be fully focused so, this might not be the most ideal setup. currently the motors really far in the back, however, theres no real mounting solution going on here, so here’s the dilemma. the motors too big. like. too big. additionally, this means that it kinda pokes through the back, or in a weird way. anyway this happens isnt very good, since the gearing has to go through the extrusion. obviously, we can do a hex adapter and do a spark here, but that’s not a good idea for obvious reasons (re: spark ) do we actually have to look into pancake motors? yeah, i think we do… also, one more thing, it might be a good idea to split the belts to be on both sides instead of just one, just to balance things out a bit got a little distracted with compact hotends , but yeah, went down a rabbit hole, we need ptfe tubes (spark did not have these), wow, theres a lot to do turns out, sourcing these things is super annoying! looked for nema 11s with integrated lead screws, all of them are mad expensive, probably just gonna use a shaft coupler, yep certainly am. anyways, lets do some math, the 45mm motors have (allegedly) 10Ncm of torque, should be enough with a T8 screw and having two of them (additionally, to help with lower layers, an idea that came across the other day was adding springs at the bottom) uh idt this is gonna reach the full range… anyways, it’s 2:43 AM, mostly a bunch of research and small adjustments, nothing too big today, hopefully more stuff tomorrow? that said, it’s 2:44 AM, good night!"}, {"post_id": 71588, "ts": "2026-09-21T03:27:26Z", "hours": 1.0172, "text": "9/18/2026 - 10th Update! it’s like 1:43 AM, wasnt gonna write a log for today, but might as well? anyways, added a stack, hopefully i remember to make those actually tensioners later 6.540 cm vs 5.162 cm, we should be able to tension up to 1 cm with this setup? hmm i really dont know how to do this setup, with two rods here? anyways, the corexy belts are added, just trying to get the tool base profile working? considering maybe using a linear rail here, or maybe even v wheels for the extrusion? (idk) mfw looking for MGN9C models and the specs dont include data on the screw hole size for some reason yeah uh the screw hole is bigger than the middle section of the extrusion, might have to use MGN7C at this point well, after a bunch of research, i think using the rail is the method, though, im not sure exactly how we should use it. mounting it above an extrusion is probably the best setup here, except 10mm x 10mm rails are like super niche or something since basically no one sells them (pla t nuts cant be too bad… right?) welp, not sure, not much cad updates today, mostly research? also, the reason i didnt start earlier today was because i sorta fell asleep today for four hours in the afternoon after coming back from school, oops, anyways, it’s 2:42 AM now and yeah, good night!"}, {"post_id": 70430, "ts": "2026-09-19T05:31:59Z", "hours": 1.6281, "text": "9/17/2026 - 9th Update! ok, we’re back! it’s 12:47 AM, enough talking, let’s get back to cad work! looking at the todo list, i think we want to finish the corexy definitions (mostly just the motor positions), i think im gonna try to add the belt paths in my free period tomorrow in school, tool base work needs to get started today, gotta consider a configuration, still considering if doing a tool changer by only switching the filament and the tool is the move (as in, if its the most feasible) anyways, cad time! (also, friendly reminder that we need to put a motor on the gantry somewhere) (how does one even start here?) so ive been thinking, uh, nvm, not that great of an idea. basically, what if we move the docking/tool area to the front, so that we can have the motor pointing towards the back (where the corexy motors are) for better storage. it’ll probably work, but that’s kinda a nightmare for supports? unless, of course, its super light hmm im actually seriously considering this, since its such a nice geometry (it also moves the printing area to the center, which should theoretically let us print there instead of aiming to print in the very outside/front area) (also, in theory, the back is heavy enough with two whole motors to balance things out, if needed, weights can also be added, but i dont think thats necessary) (insert fun geometry change montage) (why does my leg hurt) ok, so stuff has been updated and fixed, the idea is the motor points, you know what, lemme just cad it also, note, we kinda dont have a second linear rod for the purpose of, you know, cancelling our rotation, might have to add that soon ok, since we’re here, im thinking of using 6mm rods because 8mm might be unnecessary because we have the rods in pairs (specifically, the cantilever side of the lifted part), so we get that benefit fun fact, it might be possible to stash all the motors in the back. yeah its not necessary but it would be cool :p actually, i dont think im gonna do that, its also probably better to just keep the z motors at the front since we can actually have a belt path that way… new issue! if we place it in the front theres basically no space to put the tools for the tool changing ok, idk if the belt can even fit like that, but lets say it can (basically, it has to go under the corexy motors)… unless it doesnt… ngl it might be easier to have 3 motors for this, since they funnily enough perfectly slot in (maybe? not sure but its an idea) ok, so not too much done today, mostly just design changes and stuff, yeah, a good amount of fixes here and there hopefully tomorrow i can start earlier (since its friday and no after school stuff is planned for tomorrow?), that said, it’s 2:21 AM and yeah, good night!"}, {"post_id": 69973, "ts": "2026-09-18T04:46:58Z", "hours": 1.6919, "text": "9/16/2026 - 8th Update! hey! it’s 12:22 AM, we are back earlier than yesterday but not as early as i would’ve hoped, but that’s alright! ok, yesterday’s updatelog has been moved over, time to get to the cad! a quick check on what we need to work on: MOST - base and side heights (obviously) MOST - z lift (what!) (since this is super influential in the amount of space we get) SOME - corexy (upper layer stuff) (needed before tool stuff) motor positions! (this influences docking area spaces) NONE - tool base and docking area NONE - compact SOME - main electronics area well, let’s get to it! ok, i need to think of what the belt path looks like, we have the switch back stuff towards the front, of course, but for the back? i guess id probably just use a bearing to push it to the center, since i do need to consider im trying to fit this in a really tight space can we just put the bearings inside the motors shafts (shh) (not a bad idea except its probably a bad idea) so uh. we have a ton of geometry fixes to do. right now, theres not enough space in the middle, and the only real way to fix that is to stack the corexy stuff on top of the linear rods, not to the side (there literally just isnt enough space at that point.) it might sacrifice a bit of height but it’ll be able to have around 2.6cm extra space on the x direction seems like it’ll sacrifice roughly 0.7cm? but again, the stuff would be higher up so that might also cancel things out so uh. i think i gotta just redesign the whole thing at this point i think i might use thinner rods for this, idk, just a thought so uh, on second thought, how am i gonna make the belt go through a rod… (you go around it!) very good news! turns out, the calculations were a bit wonky, and now we should have like 9cm of height? maybe? this looks pretty decent for the pulleys? so yeah, that’s the current status of things! sorted out the lift stuff (i think?), and did some of the pulley stuff (so that we can add belts pretty quickly)! after that is probably tool base work? just remembered that the belts on a different layer (as in, its above), so fixed that and made it a bit more compact! reminder to self to add a tensioner at some point ok, stuff got updated, not too much changed, mostly just small fixes and changes here and there well, it’s 2:08 AM, a decent amount of stuff done today, i don’t think that we’re exactly done yet, so we are now technically falling behind schedule, but we’ll see how much can get done by the end of saturday?

it would be more compact to just have two rods with the belts running on the side, which should offer the same level of support (the only worry i have with that is basically the back would have to be pretty strong) basically, a C shaped structure of that size (with the gap being the front) has the potential to be wobbly (as exemplified by the early assembly of the spark frame). ngl, i can’t really remember if it was super bad, i think after tightening the screws it was actually pretty strong anyways, point is that it might be worth it to have an extra extrusion on the front (though, i dont think it’ll be necessary given the amount of gussets and stuff at the back) now, how will the rods be installed? on spark, it was basically friction fit, except it wasnt really a fun experience (fun fact, to install the z rods i had to put all my weight on the part, yes, i also had to add the bearings by jumping on the parts). this is not optimal. obviously. one solution can just be using heat inserts and just driving the screw to clamp it, or just use a giant clamp. idk which one i like more, im personally not a big fan of having massive blocks at the ends with screws sticking out, so i think it’ll be more of a clamp style thing theres no way i listened to two full albums tonight, one second… ok, so enough chit chat, let’s get to the mastersketch! so uh, linear bearings are actually massive, gonna expand height to 7.5cm why am i actually locked in (why is this also appearing deceivingly straightforward), anyways, need to find some motors, then gonna end it there! nema11 31mm length nema11 45mm length anyways, gotta decide on one of those, then the cursed geometry to combine the stepper motor, linear rods, and aluminum extrusions together ok, so we just have one of the pivots being stationary, i think? probably the back corner? and then the sliding one does the force and yeah well, that’s about it for today! lots of planning, but also a good amount of cad work (at least for around 1.25 hours of work!)! well yeah, hopefully i can start working on this earlier tomorrow (had to get home today by train, probably not the best move), but yeah! it’s 1:37 AM, so yeah, good night!"}, {"post_id": 67866, "ts": "2026-09-14T04:41:28Z", "hours": 1.7453, "text": "9/13/2026 - 5th Update! it’s 9:44 PM, im back! hope you didnt think i was gonna miss today :p ok, so the reason why i cant really start working, and im really stumped, is that fermion’s more of a packaging problem. for spark, the whole thing was easily tunable (as in, heights were changed a BUNCH during the end, which being parametric really helped out), but fermion has to “work”, of course not first try, but the order we do things really does make stuff work out or be super painful later on i think im not gonna use linear rails again (what!) because, well, i really dont enjoy having to import random parts from outside, and working around them is a real nuisance (along with the fact they are really pricey sometimes, given that we would need like 3 for the corexy and 4 for the scissor lift) hmm it might be best for me to start with front facing points instead of side heights, basically a front facing profile first, well, let’s go then! (instead of locking in, the narrator went straight to catching up on messages and quite some time has passed (10:01 PM and now its 10:14 PM)) so uh, the whole things gotta be mirrored right quick check that t nuts for 1010 sorry had to quickly get rid of an insect, anyways, why are 1010 extrusions intrepreted in inches??? im gonna implode (onshape doesnt have 1010 profiles) good news is that 10x10mm extrusions do exist on amazon, except theres no standard for them shoutout to this thing on amazon, first place with actual decent drawings for this ok, good news, the profile is now in onshape, most details are in, just except for the fillets (the listing thing doesnt provide that information, and onshape doesnt want it to exist). however, this is probably for the best for performance (cope) ok, for the sake of clarity, let’s name the parts: central: the part that remains stationary to the ground, so the electronics and the build plate build plate: the build plate, which sits above the electronics z scissor lift: the part that makes the z move, but NOT the subject itself (basically, the scissor mechanism) upper platform: the subject that gets moved, so the corexy and tool bay tool/docking bay: the docking bay for the tools shouldnt be that hard? yeah, fairly straightforward. anyways, thats the standard i guess im gonna use for the cad woo 3mm gt2 belts actually exist! found some here on aliexpress anyways, for this corexy setup (no, we arent cadding it yet, im working on side heights right now), we’re NOT gonna be fitting the belts inside/between the rods (did i mention that already? i think i did, we’re using rods), but instead we’ll make them side by side, one second a little doodling later, here’s what i mean! ok, so here’s the order we should mastersketch in, since ive been twirling around the cad for like a good couple minutes now base and side heights (obviously) z lift (what!)

The start of the end. If you had less than a year with the stuff you’ve grown up with for the past three years, what would you do? If everything changes, what would you do? What would I do? welcome back and yeah, it’s the day before the start of my senior year. fermion would be quite a way to kick it off :D, there hasn’t been much progress on this at all, and im very sorry for this. after all, a bunch of unkept promises, unfulfilled dreams, you get the idea, isn’t really plesant. so, stardance ends in 21 days. i have multiple essays and applications to finish up. 21 days, somewhere around 500 hours, probably less. how am i gonna split up my time? the goal, at least for the rest of september is to first finish river by the end of the week (its only cleanup and updates at this point), and to submit it! then, for the rest of the month, i’ll work on trying to, well, cad the whole thing in two and a half weeks where have i heard this before? oh yeah, i dont have much confidence i could do it by the end of stardance, and that’s fine. well, it actually isnt, but hey, hopefully moving projects works by the end of it all? (ill still aim to finish) of course, ill do last minute stuff after the deadline, probably the day after (like the wiring diagram), but lets not think that far yet! bzz yep! first photo, that’s currently my ideas for now. there’s no way to actually scuplt or imagine it in 3d (i mean, i can sketch, its just gonna be messy with so many iterations), so it’ll have to be a krayoncad (yes we’re using that again!). it’ll probably be some mashup of random stuff, but it’s just to get a conceptually idea, of course, then we’ll hopefully start mastersketching by next week. speaking of which, how do you balance this with school? lemme reference the spark logs… bad news guys, uhh… last time i tried doing this in a month, it became six months (not counting research), with the time before being a one week attempt (which got nowhere). so, we got stuff to do 9/10/2026 - 9/12/2026 Finish and submit river KrayonCAD and refine ideas Idea Refining (1 day) 9/13/2026 - 9/19/2026 Mastersketch (3-4 days) Physics Work (1 day) Subsystems (Basic) (2-3 days) 9/20/2026 - 9/26/2026 Subsystems (Detailed) (5-6 days) Fixes (1 day) BOM Assembly (1 day) 9/27/2026 - 9/30/2026 Electrical (1 day) BOM Assembly (1 day) Buffer (1 day) But that’s impossible! It’s basically constant work and unrealistic scheduling, with almost zero free time. yeah, that’s the issue. to pull this off, i (quite literally) need to work everyday on this, along with balancing school, essays and applications, homework, and robotics (woo), so this is quite truly a challenge. but hey, no one got anywhere stay in their comfort zone, and, frankly, ive been in mine for far too long (the second half of this summer) so, see you on friday? or saturday, idk anyways, it’s 11:57 PM, here’s to ambition and the will to challenge, and yeah, good night!"}, {"post_id": 65167, "ts": "2026-09-10T03:31:05Z", "hours": 0.755, "text": "8/27/2026 - 2nd Update! well, it’s actually 1:31 AM on 8/28/2026 (yes, i just finished up the river bom stuff for today)… also, seems like, similar to spark , the strange gaps in time also exist (no ill stop disappearing for weeks. i think.) anyways, i need to lock in on avarious things before school starts, this being one of them. my goal’s to start sometime in the september, preferably before school starts, though no promises! anyways, today’s gonna be yet another yap session, what do i have in store today? ive been researching! at least, as far as youtube videos gets you… but yeah, lots of ideas recently! last time we talked about the overall structure itself (scissor lift z axis, corexy, similar belting), but this time i want to talk about tool changing! here we go! spark tool changing barely “worked” the latch system had WAY too many parts (some fell off during transport lel) the latch system required rubber bands that did not exist or could possibly exist (it needs to be kept in the middle of the track) the only way it worked was if the latch had a default state in the middle (which, as just mentioned, it did not) the tools were MASSIVE well, they’re pretty normal sized, but still, it’s not ideal they also break stuff when they fell, and they were not fun to assemble please no more impossible screws that need to be hand turned the single motor idea was pretty nice however, functioning nicely is… yeah essentially, tool changing did not really work as well as i envisioned (which was expected!). so, what’s gonna change? well, one really nice idea, as noted above, was only having a single motor, as that saved on both price and tool size. however, the sacrifices it made was not really great (this was also partially due to a bad extrusion gearing)… but what if the filament path was its own tool? im gonna be a bit honest here, i was inspired by the INDX project, but im gonna take my own spin on it! (as in, imma still design everything myself, the only thing im borrowing is the idea of sharing the filament gearing). to be clear, the idea im borrowing is the gearing releasing the filament, swapping to the next tool, and grabbing it again (with wired, not passive heaters!) of course, that’s a design challenge in of itself (were also probably still gonna use PLA). also during this time, ive been looking at various extruders, i came across this from triangle lab again, but im not sure if i want to stick with it, the main goal is to have a hotend that’s both compact and can get easily blasted by fans! speaking of fans… we still need to decide on that, i havent done much research into it, but having one for each tool sound about right? anyways, the goal is still the same as spark, with 3 tools (maybe well add more if it makes sense and space allows), and maybe even a z probe? (ill be a switch lel) anyways, for docking, we’re probably gonna use magnets. yeah, for real this time? anyways, to detach, it’ll probably be a simple latch hook- WOAH WOAH WOAH. what i meant by that is the tool going into, sliding on a screw, and detaching!

(im actually out of words, see the picture!) now, a quick search shows that this idea has been done before, which is a good sign (both because of design convergence and that it’s been proven to be possible). yes, its a little sad that it’s not super unique of an idea, but hey, corexy isnt exactly a new idea, the innovation comes in execution! (and the idea of course) (additionally, there arent many scissor lift 3d printers antways) point is, imo this is the best way to compact it, espexcially because of size constraints. only issue i have is that the design needs to be very rigid somehow… anyways, electronics go below the build plate, tools on the top in a row, gantry can fold there (hold on theres no way it can get there, actually nvm), dokcing areas are there too, print area is more of a rectangle, scissor lifts on the side exact numbers and more ideas soon, just scribbling stuff down, but it’s 3:01 AM, so yeah, good night!"}]...

8/10/2026 - 1st Update! yes, im sure you have tons of questions lol disregarding the overarching question that every first log has to solve (what is this?), i do know that river is incomplete as of now. i havent really had any motivation to finish it, but i do plan on it, sometime this week. but for now (and a while now), i feel like its progress is currently slowing us down a bit. regardless, im gonna complete it, but i have a ton of ideas i want to write down and document, so that i actually have a readable progress update, instead of coming in with a full design (because, after all, that’s not as interesting or as educational as seeing designs converge into an idea!) one more note, it’s currently 2:03 AM on 8/11/2026 right now, but i’ll push this for 8/10/2026! so, the question you’re probably wondering now, what is fermion? well, it’s technically a successor to spark, which was more of a learning opportunity, looking at it retrospectively, and it’s not easy or expected to get everything correct first try, so here we go, spark v2! with, a different name! ok, skip that, we got branding made already (yes ive been busy lol) similarly to last time, after just around 2 weeks, i have returned to present you the raw concepts of fermion, tihs being arc 3 of year 3, following spark (build) and river ! here we go compact. like, really compact way back when, i came across alex’s (qcoral) project neutrino , which i later discovered was inspired by positron! both are meant to be compact printers that fit in a standard filament spool box spark needed a whole new suitcase to travel to open sauce it was also a huge suitcase and would barely close unless the top bit was moved and held in a certain way basically, not very convenient to travel with tool changing of course, with such a small form factor, this is gonna be the bulk of the issues, aka, smart and compact design just like spark, triple nozzle is the plan, maybe a fourth tool for z probing, which we should try to get this thing, if those two are done, might make this the world’s smallest (to my knowledge) folding (ill get to this) tool changing 3d printer, which would be insane (it might also be the first to fit in a filament box upon compacted) of course, im getting ahead of myself (cant wait to realize the overscope), how are we pulling this off? that’s for the next commit to answer lol ok so im back after a quick second, this time on github mobile, so where was i? oh right, the architecture! whatever we do, we have to have an incredibly compact extruder setup and xyz motion. unfortunately, i dont have all my ideas anymore, but heres the roguh process. (im actually out of words, see the picture!) now, a quick search shows that this idea has been done before, which is a good sign (both because of design convergence and that it’s been proven to be possible). yes, its a little sad that it’s not super unique of an idea, but hey, corexy isnt exactly a new idea, the innovation comes in execution! (and the idea of course) (additionally, there arent many scissor lift 3d printers antways) point is, imo this is the best way to compact it, espexcially because of size constraints. only issue i have is that the design needs to be very rigid somehow… anyways, electronics go below the build plate, tools on the top in a row, gantry can fold there (hold on theres no way it can get there, actually nvm), dokcing areas are there too, print area is more of a rectangle, scissor lifts on the side exact numbers and more ideas soon, just scribbling stuff down, but it’s 3:01 AM, so yeah, good night!
8/27/2026 - 2nd Update! well, it’s actually 1:31 AM on 8/28/2026 (yes, i just finished up the river bom stuff for today)… also, seems like, similar to spark , the strange gaps in time also exist (no ill stop disappearing for weeks. i think.) anyways, i need to lock in on avarious things before school starts, this being one of them. my goal’s to start sometime in the september, preferably before school starts, though no promises! anyways, today’s gonna be yet another yap session, what do i have in store today? ive been researching! at least, as far as youtube videos gets you… but yeah, lots of ideas recently! last time we talked about the overall structure itself (scissor lift z axis, corexy, similar belting), but this time i want to talk about tool changing! here we go! spark tool changing barely “worked” the latch system had WAY too many parts (some fell off during transport lel) the latch system required rubber bands that did not exist or could possibly exist (it needs to be kept in the middle of the track) the only way it worked was if the latch had a default state in the middle (which, as just mentioned, it did not) the tools were MASSIVE well, they’re pretty normal sized, but still, it’s not ideal they also break stuff when they fell, and they were not fun to assemble please no more impossible screws that need to be hand turned the single motor idea was pretty nice however, functioning nicely is… yeah essentially, tool changing did not really work as well as i envisioned (which was expected!). so, what’s gonna change? well, one really nice idea, as noted above, was only having a single motor, as that saved on both price and tool size. however, the sacrifices it made was not really great (this was also partially due to a bad extrusion gearing)… but what if the filament path was its own tool? im gonna be a bit honest here, i was inspired by the INDX project, but im gonna take my own spin on it! (as in, imma still design everything myself, the only thing im borrowing is the idea of sharing the filament gearing). to be clear, the idea im borrowing is the gearing releasing the filament, swapping to the next tool, and grabbing it again (with wired, not passive heaters!) of course, that’s a design challenge in of itself (were also probably still gonna use PLA). also during this time, ive been looking at various extruders, i came across this from triangle lab again, but im not sure if i want to stick with it, the main goal is to have a hotend that’s both compact and can get easily blasted by fans! speaking of fans… we still need to decide on that, i havent done much research into it, but having one for each tool sound about right? anyways, the goal is still the same as spark, with 3 tools (maybe well add more if it makes sense and space allows), and maybe even a z probe? (ill be a switch lel) anyways, for docking, we’re probably gonna use magnets. yeah, for real this time? anyways, to detach, it’ll probably be a simple latch hook- WOAH WOAH WOAH. what i meant by that is the tool going into, sliding on a screw, and detaching! (see the rest of the logs in the image! yeah, im sorry i yap a lot lol) anyways, it’s 2:17 AM, so yeah, for now, good night!
9/9/2026 - 3rd Update! It’s 11:31 PM. It’s been a full month since Fermion was announced to the infinite depths of the internet. It’s the night before the first day of school, senior year. The final year. The start of the end. If you had less than a year with the stuff you’ve grown up with for the past three years, what would you do? If everything changes, what would you do? What would I do? welcome back and yeah, it’s the day before the start of my senior year. fermion would be quite a way to kick it off :D, there hasn’t been much progress on this at all, and im very sorry for this. after all, a bunch of unkept promises, unfulfilled dreams, you get the idea, isn’t really plesant. so, stardance ends in 21 days. i have multiple essays and applications to finish up. 21 days, somewhere around 500 hours, probably less. how am i gonna split up my time? the goal, at least for the rest of september is to first finish river by the end of the week (its only cleanup and updates at this point), and to submit it! then, for the rest of the month, i’ll work on trying to, well, cad the whole thing in two and a half weeks where have i heard this before? oh yeah, i dont have much confidence i could do it by the end of stardance, and that’s fine. well, it actually isnt, but hey, hopefully moving projects works by the end of it all? (ill still aim to finish) of course, ill do last minute stuff after the deadline, probably the day after (like the wiring diagram), but lets not think that far yet! bzz yep! first photo, that’s currently my ideas for now. there’s no way to actually scuplt or imagine it in 3d (i mean, i can sketch, its just gonna be messy with so many iterations), so it’ll have to be a krayoncad (yes we’re using that again!). it’ll probably be some mashup of random stuff, but it’s just to get a conceptually idea, of course, then we’ll hopefully start mastersketching by next week. speaking of which, how do you balance this with school? lemme reference the spark logs… bad news guys, uhh… last time i tried doing this in a month, it became six months (not counting research), with the time before being a one week attempt (which got nowhere). so, we got stuff to do 9/10/2026 - 9/12/2026 Finish and submit river KrayonCAD and refine ideas Idea Refining (1 day) 9/13/2026 - 9/19/2026 Mastersketch (3-4 days) Physics Work (1 day) Subsystems (Basic) (2-3 days) 9/20/2026 - 9/26/2026 Subsystems (Detailed) (5-6 days) Fixes (1 day) BOM Assembly (1 day) 9/27/2026 - 9/30/2026 Electrical (1 day) BOM Assembly (1 day) Buffer (1 day) But that’s impossible! It’s basically constant work and unrealistic scheduling, with almost zero free time. yeah, that’s the issue. to pull this off, i (quite literally) need to work everyday on this, along with balancing school, essays and applications, homework, and robotics (woo), so this is quite truly a challenge. but hey, no one got anywhere stay in their comfort zone, and, frankly, ive been in mine for far too long (the second half of this summer) so, see you on friday? or saturday, idk anyways, it’s 11:57 PM, here’s to ambition and the will to challenge, and yeah, good night!
9/12/2026 - 4th Update! hey hey hey it’s 3:52 PM on saturday, and happy to say that we’re barely following schedule! after 9/9/2026’s update talking about shipping river, got back to work and wrapped it up and shipped it across 9/10/2026 and 9/11/2026! it’s submitted for review, so i theoretically dont need to do much about it now (maybe some firmware stuff but not much), so yeah, time to focus on this now! the goal for the end of today is to have a krayoncad and refine to concept, so that we actually have something in 3d to look at the linkages and stuff! well, brb, one second, back at 4:06 PM, let’s go! yeah so we basically have a 200mm x 200mm space to work with, with like 3mm of wiggle room, with 7 (ish) centimeters vertically (im measuring a polymaker spool box btw) idk why onshapes a bit slow today ok, if the motors are on the front, it lets a little place in the front which would be neat but that shifts all the weight to the front which isnt really good, but if the tools are in the back, thatll help with the load but its still goofy, but what if we just move the scissor lift to the back? well that just reverses the entire printer, its the same thing as moving our tool bay to the front, which would shift the space to the back but not be very nice with balance idk, text blob of thinking well, this is what i have so far! it’s not exactly the best, theres a lot of goofy stuff (and stuff i havent considered, specifically where the z motors are gonna go), but i think its a good start? ok, heres a list of all the issues i currently have with this z axis what??? (like seriously what is going on here) need to have an actual concept for the motion currently is just a “linear rail” and a lead screw (represented by the belt) in that orientation tool area the tool size is kinda unrealistic but still maybe possible? its probably better to have a fan on the tool bay area that stays there than have one that moves as in, fans on the tool for the cold end, then a fan per tool in the docking area, not one that moves across tool base theres no space for the stepper motor (at all) theres a very low chance all the gearing will fit but we’ll see dimensions are unrealistic unless the rails are the actual supports (probably will need 1cm x 1cm extrusions, need to look into the structure and support stuff), the widths are not correct z scissor lift the z scissor lift is kinda goofy in numbers (expected, since we cant really do that yet) ok, it’s 5:42 PM, brb… (quick commit) (bro yapped too much, the middle part of this updatelog is in the first screenshot) yeah kinda tired right now, idk, ok, 11:25 PM now, gonna go watch a movie, see ya! ok, 1:20 AM now, i think this is a good start, gonna sleep on it for tonight and hopefully refine the idea overnight? idk, letting the idea process for a bit usually helps out! that said, good night!
9/13/2026 - 5th Update! it’s 9:44 PM, im back! hope you didnt think i was gonna miss today :p ok, so the reason why i cant really start working, and im really stumped, is that fermion’s more of a packaging problem. for spark, the whole thing was easily tunable (as in, heights were changed a BUNCH during the end, which being parametric really helped out), but fermion has to “work”, of course not first try, but the order we do things really does make stuff work out or be super painful later on i think im not gonna use linear rails again (what!) because, well, i really dont enjoy having to import random parts from outside, and working around them is a real nuisance (along with the fact they are really pricey sometimes, given that we would need like 3 for the corexy and 4 for the scissor lift) hmm it might be best for me to start with front facing points instead of side heights, basically a front facing profile first, well, let’s go then! (instead of locking in, the narrator went straight to catching up on messages and quite some time has passed (10:01 PM and now its 10:14 PM)) so uh, the whole things gotta be mirrored right quick check that t nuts for 1010 sorry had to quickly get rid of an insect, anyways, why are 1010 extrusions intrepreted in inches??? im gonna implode (onshape doesnt have 1010 profiles) good news is that 10x10mm extrusions do exist on amazon, except theres no standard for them shoutout to this thing on amazon, first place with actual decent drawings for this ok, good news, the profile is now in onshape, most details are in, just except for the fillets (the listing thing doesnt provide that information, and onshape doesnt want it to exist). however, this is probably for the best for performance (cope) ok, for the sake of clarity, let’s name the parts: central: the part that remains stationary to the ground, so the electronics and the build plate build plate: the build plate, which sits above the electronics z scissor lift: the part that makes the z move, but NOT the subject itself (basically, the scissor mechanism) upper platform: the subject that gets moved, so the corexy and tool bay tool/docking bay: the docking bay for the tools shouldnt be that hard? yeah, fairly straightforward. anyways, thats the standard i guess im gonna use for the cad woo 3mm gt2 belts actually exist! found some here on aliexpress anyways, for this corexy setup (no, we arent cadding it yet, im working on side heights right now), we’re NOT gonna be fitting the belts inside/between the rods (did i mention that already? i think i did, we’re using rods), but instead we’ll make them side by side, one second a little doodling later, here’s what i mean! ok, so here’s the order we should mastersketch in, since ive been twirling around the cad for like a good couple minutes now base and side heights (obviously) z lift (what!) (since this is super influential in the amount of space we get) corexy (upper layer stuff) (needed before tool stuff) motor positions! (this influences docking area spaces) tool base and docking area compact main electronics area so uh, how does one even have a scissor lift with a screw in the middle? i forgot to press record. well, yeah, its been a bit, i took a bit of a break, it’s 12:38 AM, i think im gonna stop here for today! of course, there’s still lots to do, but yeah, seems like a good place to stop for today! it’s 12:39 AM, and yeah, good night!
9/14/2026 - 6th Update! ok, ill admit, it’s pretty late, it’s currently 12:22 AM on 9/15/2026 (but that doesnt mean progress cant happen!) quick glance at the schedule 9/13/2026 - 9/19/2026 Mastersketch (3-4 days) Physics Work (1 day) Subsystems (Basic) (2-3 days) i doubt that itll be possible to finish the mastersketch in two more days (not counting today), considering the meetings and stuff, so mastersketch work might take up the entire week, but also, making all the subsystems in a week was also super unrealistic anyways, may the cad resume! so, ive been thinking about the structural integrity, what does the extrusion actually do (other than forming some sort of support structure)? it would be more compact to just have two rods with the belts running on the side, which should offer the same level of support (the only worry i have with that is basically the back would have to be pretty strong) basically, a C shaped structure of that size (with the gap being the front) has the potential to be wobbly (as exemplified by the early assembly of the spark frame). ngl, i can’t really remember if it was super bad, i think after tightening the screws it was actually pretty strong anyways, point is that it might be worth it to have an extra extrusion on the front (though, i dont think it’ll be necessary given the amount of gussets and stuff at the back) now, how will the rods be installed? on spark, it was basically friction fit, except it wasnt really a fun experience (fun fact, to install the z rods i had to put all my weight on the part, yes, i also had to add the bearings by jumping on the parts). this is not optimal. obviously. one solution can just be using heat inserts and just driving the screw to clamp it, or just use a giant clamp. idk which one i like more, im personally not a big fan of having massive blocks at the ends with screws sticking out, so i think it’ll be more of a clamp style thing theres no way i listened to two full albums tonight, one second… ok, so enough chit chat, let’s get to the mastersketch! so uh, linear bearings are actually massive, gonna expand height to 7.5cm why am i actually locked in (why is this also appearing deceivingly straightforward), anyways, need to find some motors, then gonna end it there! nema11 31mm length nema11 45mm length anyways, gotta decide on one of those, then the cursed geometry to combine the stepper motor, linear rods, and aluminum extrusions together ok, so we just have one of the pivots being stationary, i think? probably the back corner? and then the sliding one does the force and yeah well, that’s about it for today! lots of planning, but also a good amount of cad work (at least for around 1.25 hours of work!)! well yeah, hopefully i can start working on this earlier tomorrow (had to get home today by train, probably not the best move), but yeah! it’s 1:37 AM, so yeah, good night!
9/15/2026 - 7th Update! uh, it’s even later than yesterday, it’s actually 1:37 AM right now. anyways, you think id miss an updatelog :p (no, this isnt a continuation of yesterday’s session, its actually been a whole 24 hours) not much talking, i want to get at least half an hour of cad done today! ok, so for the rods on the z lift, we need to have limits, and we gotta define the ending blocks at this point… also, we’re gonna be using whatever screws the motors use (unless theyre somehow too big for our purposes), just because its, well, optimial i guess my sourcing adventures have told me about the F4-9M thrust bearing. idk. so uh, imma ignore that and try to solve it, one second ok, good news, we now have a solid 5cm of build height (in the worst case scenario, how low the tools are is the biggest influence for this, this statistic assumes the worst case that the tool reaches the very bottom). yeah. so. we do need to optimize the scissor lift bit to squeeze more height in ok, so it’s 2:27 AM, did a bit of z and corexy work today. yeah, we’re running pretty close to deadline, ill see what i can do tomorrow, hopefully with an earlier start? also, another note, the build plate representation was done yesterday (but i just put it below the rollback bar for things to be more accessible while working on it) so yeah! it’s 2:30 AM, so yeah, good night!
9/16/2026 - 8th Update! hey! it’s 12:22 AM, we are back earlier than yesterday but not as early as i would’ve hoped, but that’s alright! ok, yesterday’s updatelog has been moved over, time to get to the cad! a quick check on what we need to work on: MOST - base and side heights (obviously) MOST - z lift (what!) (since this is super influential in the amount of space we get) SOME - corexy (upper layer stuff) (needed before tool stuff) motor positions! (this influences docking area spaces) NONE - tool base and docking area NONE - compact SOME - main electronics area well, let’s get to it! ok, i need to think of what the belt path looks like, we have the switch back stuff towards the front, of course, but for the back? i guess id probably just use a bearing to push it to the center, since i do need to consider im trying to fit this in a really tight space can we just put the bearings inside the motors shafts (shh) (not a bad idea except its probably a bad idea) so uh. we have a ton of geometry fixes to do. right now, theres not enough space in the middle, and the only real way to fix that is to stack the corexy stuff on top of the linear rods, not to the side (there literally just isnt enough space at that point.) it might sacrifice a bit of height but it’ll be able to have around 2.6cm extra space on the x direction seems like it’ll sacrifice roughly 0.7cm? but again, the stuff would be higher up so that might also cancel things out so uh. i think i gotta just redesign the whole thing at this point i think i might use thinner rods for this, idk, just a thought so uh, on second thought, how am i gonna make the belt go through a rod… (you go around it!) very good news! turns out, the calculations were a bit wonky, and now we should have like 9cm of height? maybe? this looks pretty decent for the pulleys? so yeah, that’s the current status of things! sorted out the lift stuff (i think?), and did some of the pulley stuff (so that we can add belts pretty quickly)! after that is probably tool base work? just remembered that the belts on a different layer (as in, its above), so fixed that and made it a bit more compact! reminder to self to add a tensioner at some point ok, stuff got updated, not too much changed, mostly just small fixes and changes here and there well, it’s 2:08 AM, a decent amount of stuff done today, i don’t think that we’re exactly done yet, so we are now technically falling behind schedule, but we’ll see how much can get done by the end of saturday? anyways, yeah, that said, good night!
9/17/2026 - 9th Update! ok, we’re back! it’s 12:47 AM, enough talking, let’s get back to cad work! looking at the todo list, i think we want to finish the corexy definitions (mostly just the motor positions), i think im gonna try to add the belt paths in my free period tomorrow in school, tool base work needs to get started today, gotta consider a configuration, still considering if doing a tool changer by only switching the filament and the tool is the move (as in, if its the most feasible) anyways, cad time! (also, friendly reminder that we need to put a motor on the gantry somewhere) (how does one even start here?) so ive been thinking, uh, nvm, not that great of an idea. basically, what if we move the docking/tool area to the front, so that we can have the motor pointing towards the back (where the corexy motors are) for better storage. it’ll probably work, but that’s kinda a nightmare for supports? unless, of course, its super light hmm im actually seriously considering this, since its such a nice geometry (it also moves the printing area to the center, which should theoretically let us print there instead of aiming to print in the very outside/front area) (also, in theory, the back is heavy enough with two whole motors to balance things out, if needed, weights can also be added, but i dont think thats necessary) (insert fun geometry change montage) (why does my leg hurt) ok, so stuff has been updated and fixed, the idea is the motor points, you know what, lemme just cad it also, note, we kinda dont have a second linear rod for the purpose of, you know, cancelling our rotation, might have to add that soon ok, since we’re here, im thinking of using 6mm rods because 8mm might be unnecessary because we have the rods in pairs (specifically, the cantilever side of the lifted part), so we get that benefit fun fact, it might be possible to stash all the motors in the back. yeah its not necessary but it would be cool :p actually, i dont think im gonna do that, its also probably better to just keep the z motors at the front since we can actually have a belt path that way… new issue! if we place it in the front theres basically no space to put the tools for the tool changing ok, idk if the belt can even fit like that, but lets say it can (basically, it has to go under the corexy motors)… unless it doesnt… ngl it might be easier to have 3 motors for this, since they funnily enough perfectly slot in (maybe? not sure but its an idea) ok, so not too much done today, mostly just design changes and stuff, yeah, a good amount of fixes here and there hopefully tomorrow i can start earlier (since its friday and no after school stuff is planned for tomorrow?), that said, it’s 2:21 AM and yeah, good night!
9/18/2026 - 10th Update! it’s like 1:43 AM, wasnt gonna write a log for today, but might as well? anyways, added a stack, hopefully i remember to make those actually tensioners later 6.540 cm vs 5.162 cm, we should be able to tension up to 1 cm with this setup? hmm i really dont know how to do this setup, with two rods here? anyways, the corexy belts are added, just trying to get the tool base profile working? considering maybe using a linear rail here, or maybe even v wheels for the extrusion? (idk) mfw looking for MGN9C models and the specs dont include data on the screw hole size for some reason yeah uh the screw hole is bigger than the middle section of the extrusion, might have to use MGN7C at this point well, after a bunch of research, i think using the rail is the method, though, im not sure exactly how we should use it. mounting it above an extrusion is probably the best setup here, except 10mm x 10mm rails are like super niche or something since basically no one sells them (pla t nuts cant be too bad… right?) welp, not sure, not much cad updates today, mostly research? also, the reason i didnt start earlier today was because i sorta fell asleep today for four hours in the afternoon after coming back from school, oops, anyways, it’s 2:42 AM now and yeah, good night!
9/20/2026 - 11th Update! missed one day, but miss two? i dont think so. anyways, dramatic opening aside, it is 11:25 PM, just celebrated cake day (a couple days late but still great :D), so yeah, in celebration of becoming yet another year older (my foot hurts), time to get cadding! (brb) ok, it’s 11:50 PM, might need to lock in, in other news, doggie just got 97% (again) and 91% on grief tonight! might want to tune in (if youre reading this from the future, today’s stream 390) anyways, first things first, we need to find a stepper motor ideally with lead screws built in (those exist?) (yeah, apparently so) ok, it’s 11:58 PM, gonna go watch a movie, brb! ok ive returned at 1:30 AM to focus on two things at once (i gotta get the sticker streak continuing), so yeah ok now what are the heights of mgn7c rails… why does no one have cad models for mgn7c rails that arent filled with other stuff… ok 1:46 AM and now im actually gonna be fully focused so, this might not be the most ideal setup. currently the motors really far in the back, however, theres no real mounting solution going on here, so here’s the dilemma. the motors too big. like. too big. additionally, this means that it kinda pokes through the back, or in a weird way. anyway this happens isnt very good, since the gearing has to go through the extrusion. obviously, we can do a hex adapter and do a spark here, but that’s not a good idea for obvious reasons (re: spark ) do we actually have to look into pancake motors? yeah, i think we do… also, one more thing, it might be a good idea to split the belts to be on both sides instead of just one, just to balance things out a bit got a little distracted with compact hotends , but yeah, went down a rabbit hole, we need ptfe tubes (spark did not have these), wow, theres a lot to do turns out, sourcing these things is super annoying! looked for nema 11s with integrated lead screws, all of them are mad expensive, probably just gonna use a shaft coupler, yep certainly am. anyways, lets do some math, the 45mm motors have (allegedly) 10Ncm of torque, should be enough with a T8 screw and having two of them (additionally, to help with lower layers, an idea that came across the other day was adding springs at the bottom) uh idt this is gonna reach the full range… anyways, it’s 2:43 AM, mostly a bunch of research and small adjustments, nothing too big today, hopefully more stuff tomorrow? that said, it’s 2:44 AM, good night!
9/21/2026 - 12th Update! You couldn’t build a printer in a week. You can’t build a printer in a week. Yeah, I know. You’ve got eight or so days left. And you spent the last three grinding Geometry Dash. Yeah, 158% on nine paws, woo! And you’re not at all concerned about the time? The what? welcome back! it’s 12:08 AM on the morning of 9/22/2026, and boy did i realize the entire weekend and the extra day off disappeared in a blink of an eye. yes, i finally beat the level, now moving on to something way more difficult, but first, it’s time to address the bigger issue in the room. yes, technically fermion, but also time. pause the music, it’s getting a bit serious here. we have a solid 8 or so days left. we didnt spend the weekend well, i didn’t spend the weekend well. but hey, we can’t get that time back. what a mindset, instead, i gotta start actually spending my time efficiently. yes, i beat the level, but now, i need to take a break. not because of exhaustion, but because we literally don’t have enough time to play gd at the same time. its just not able to fit there. It’s not meant to be easy, you know. who is that guy in italics? idk, they’re kinda weird. anyways, question is, what now? 8 days. lock in. if we cant get this done by the end of stardance, id probably look into exporting this to a similar ysws, hopefully to finish it there in time for the winter season, because that’s a pretty fun time to build stuff before build season starts, and when college applications are mostly over! that said, back to the cad… ok, we need to sort out the motor support first, one second. ok, that should be good, ok, ive got a plan. but it requires the tool head to be both unbalanced, weirdly shaped, and quite low. of course, that’s if we’re still going with the small tool idea, we can always just slap three extra motors and call it a day, but thats too easy and probably more sane. theres no avoiding it, gotta get designing that now mfw 8.8cm for the available tool space (horiziontally) at that point might as well just have two tool heads that swap out with the motor and all at the front im thinking of a ton of possible configurations, lets write them out idea 1 z motors are in the front, belted to the lead screws corexy motors move to the side still doesnt solve the issue that the tool head areas front does look cooler no neat place to put the tool head idea 2 similar to the first idea in the the z motors and lead screws are belted together, but the z motor is above, facing backwards, belted to the lead screw, so that it can be at an angle (getting this to the other side would be wonky, but perhaps doable) this should move the lead screws closer to the sides, giving more space! (also look into different things that move on the t screw that are smaller, perhaps smaller than T8 lead screws?) huh. i seem to have forgotten to add yesterdays log to the website. oops. well, that just got added, some weird time stuff but yeah. well yeah, it’s 1:17 AM, and i think i like the second idea. checking the cad, it’s probably possible to fit this (its gonna be close?), so thats cool! anyways, yeah, good night!...

The encoder works by assigning each letter of your input text a numerical value. Then, the numbers are arranged into pairs like this: [8 5][12 12][15 0]. Finally, these small matrices are multiplied by a key matrix. This multiplication gives you the final result for the encoded message. The decoder works by taking numerical input and transforming it into a decoded message. The numerical input is also arranged into pairs. These pairs are then multiplied by the inverse of the key matrix. Finally, using the numbers you calculate for, you translate into their alphabetical equivalent. Did that make no sense? Do not worry! My website also includes a page explaining the process behind using matrices in cryptography. It does not only include text, but also little silly graphics to help you understand better. The goal isn’t just to have decoder, but also to spread my love of math to others!! Challenges: The biggest challenge I went through was that my code was not working according to my math. Instead of multiplying my pairs by the key matrix, it was multiplying them in the incorrect order. This caused the resulting output to be very off. Thankfully, was able to determine what to swap to make my encoder work. The best part: my favorite part of this project was creating the graphics. Even if they are not a major part of my project, they still add a cute whimsy to it!", "repo": "https://github.com/SILVENDz/matrixencoder", "demo": "https://silvendz.github.io/matrixencoder/"}]...

Cleaned up the site, fixed some very minor bugs, but the core of the site is set in stone.

Ships:
Ellery is being shipped. I spent the last stretch cleaning up the codebase, removing unused features, tightening the documentation, and making the reasoning behind each finding easier to verify. The goal was never just to make charts. It’s to help people understand what their data actually says, and trace every conclusion back to its evidence. The goal is to simplify the messy data....

Hi So finally I added resizing the cards with a draggable UI gesture, and added themes thanks to skue’s suggestion (ty kind soul 😁) and a system stats card as well as a website/app shortcuts card because I had no idea what else to add. I added a dark, green, brown, blue and pink theme which differ to the original light (which is technically beige) theme, my personal favourite is the brown.

I’ve gotten feedback from the ship (tysm for all the feedback) and based off it I’ve made some changes to air and am also planning to change more. First of alll the to do card is now called the notes card since you can add multiple pages for different kinds of notes you may want to quickly jot down, this was my own volition not any feedback.

This one took a while. I made a list generator card because I needed a way to actually remember what exercises to do, but it can be generalised for any sort of random list generation that you may need to do consistently.

Hello I’ve added swipe and click gestures to the news card to make it possible to navigate thru the different news articles, which was a good feature that my friend suggested so thanks to him. I’ve also decided what I want to do for v1.2 and possibly even a v2 since it seems like a large enough deal to release a new version 😱 Here’s what i’m thinking: for v1.2: – unit converter – world clock – public ip – random number generator – countdown – calc – qr code generator/link shortener (maybe) – colour picker – word of the day so basically more cards, but theres a reason: for v2 – spaces, basically different layouts of cards that can have different cards – temporary cards, summoning and focusing cards for sort amounts of time and then dismissing them I think this might be a good roadmap for air. I hope you will enjoy using the new air app as much as I will enjoy making it :)
Hi I’ve created a unit conversion card. I initially created my own conversion system which I thought was alright but then I found out that Foundation has built in conversions so I remodelled it to just be a UI front.
So I’ve made new cards now, an RNG card because why not and a configurable world clock. Nothing really too hard with these, tbh they are very simple cards; but they are meant to be so that’s most likely gonna be good for a future update iykwim ;)
Ive added two new both pretty simple cards, an IP card that shows your public ipv4 (and 6 if available) and a qr code generator card for any reachable web address. It took a while to figure out how to generate the qr code but coreimage has a way to help me render it. I’m not really sure how else to add to the IP card, but the QR code card has a bunch of customisability features including changing the colour and style of elements in the qr code whilst still being readable. The card can also export the code as a png :)
I finally got around to adding things to air, since im also doing another ysws thing, but I’ve finally got around to making the temporary card system; it basically acts as a overlay over the normal UI and can be opened using Cmd + K . There’s a search bar to search thru all registered cards. I plan to add spaces either tonight and tomorrow, and then air will be ready to ship again :)
Ive finished spaces, which have configurable keybinds that let users navigate through different layouts of cards. Different spaces can have different names, use different themes and have different cards. Adding this actually let me fix a few bugs that I didn’t know I had, mainly with the keybind recorder where after a keybind was set, if a valid keybind was still typed on the keyboard (after the alleged recording state was over) it would rebind it anyway.
Ships:
air is a lightweight macOS dashboard that collapses your morning routine into one glance. There’s no more opening five different apps just to check the weather, news, and what’s on today. Genuinely made organising my day so much easier since now I have a place I can easily access to see what I have left in the day and just stats about the day in general. The audio player was definitely the hardest part, having to quickly rundown on AppleScript and then also learn how to interact with macOS’s Now Playing system. I ended up finding an external CLI tool called nowplaying-cli by Kirtan Shah and others to pull metadata from it. I’m very, very happy with how this entire project turned, this is to date the best Swift project I’ve ever made by far, but I only plan to improve from here. Air requires a computer running at least macOS 26 and using an arm processor (so Apple Silicon) to run. macOS may also show a security warning on first launch, if it does just right-click the app and choose open to get past it.

Genuinely made organising my day so much easier since now I have a place I can easily access to see what I have left in the day and just stats about the day in general. Version 2.0.0 is here. Yay! I’ve added a bunch of new cards, those being the list generator, world clock, unit converter, RNG generator, public IP viewer, and a QR code generator. I’ve also added a few new features, those being temporary cards which let you view a single card as a floating overlay without adding it permanently to your dashboard; and spaces which act as separate card lists which support different themes. It was pretty difficult doing figuring out the QR code generator but I eventually made it work well. Air v2 now supports a minimum of macOS Sonoma (14), which is earlier than previous versions so that’s a good thing too. A project demo video will be available to watch on the projects ReadMe if you can’t/don’t want to download it :)...

It’s been a journey, from initial planning, leg design and prototyping, PCB design, and finally outer shell appearance and sensor integration. The most challenging part of the mechanical CAD was making everything fit! The robot is pretty compact, and the electronics take up a ton of space.

Because I only have time for one shot at the board, I’ve exposed pads for each extra GPIO pin on the ESP, as well as adding solder pads for the address select on the sensors. This will allow me to change the IIC address of each sensor if needed. I’ve also included 10 extra GND, 3V3, and simply “blank” header pins for future expansion.

I will include my best guess of what is going on, but to be completely honest, my code should not be doing that and I don’t know why it is. To figure this out, I had the very high tech strategy of taping a whiteboard marker to the leg, and tracing the path it drew in stance phase. Long story short, I have validated (on two configurations) that it works (and on the last tests I got super straight, vertical lines, as if my robot had a ruler), and have to get PCBs manufactured so it’s time to move on. I moved to the main body and housing, and got my spider design cooking up. After Fusion “lol nope”d all my loft plans, I made a very sketchy completely blue sketch and divided the loft profile into 4. It worked so I will clean it up tomorrow, then plan electronics mounts.

I set up a matrix revolve function so that the robot wouldn’t push itself sideways (see very beautiful sketch). However, that revolve function did absolutely horrendous. My robot’s leg traced a ln(x) function in the x, y, and I have genuinely no idea why. Then I tried a very simple coxa offset, and that didn’t work either.

Finally got my robot leg V2 done in cad. going to test tonight or tomorrow when the 3d print finishes up. I wired up a test for one leg (three servos, PCA9685 and ESP32). I then coded the configuration for the robot legs, and wrote a quick servo centring program so I could assemble.
It’s Alive! Did way too much math. I got the inverse kinematics fully working, allowing me to get the leg to any (z, y, z) in reach. Then I used python to generate 870 000 points it could reach and plotted a point cloud in CloudCompare. I then derived and implemented a composite cycloid trajectory to have smooth(ish) steps. By the end, I got my test leg to take its very first steps! One video shows a walk mode (there is some shake due to backlash, although I think it will be reduced with ground pressure) and the second shows “run mode”.
The servo “broke” :(. I started testing different step configurations to allow my robot to not hit itself while walking (kinda important). During this (and of course while I was demoing it walking), my MG996R decided to shut down. I disassembled the leg and opened up the servo, expecting a blown internal circuit, only to see nothing weird. I then tried the same (previously failed command), and it worked. I did some googling and found the culprit was likely thermal overload, and the driver/motor shut itself down so it wouldnt break. The one piece of good news is I now have an excuse to swap in a slightly refined femur backing, and that a leg swap can be completed in under 15 minutes.
Currently trying to test a simple walk for interference. I realized when slicing a leg that my MG996R servos would have way too little torque, so I upgraded them to 40kg servos. I settled on a 375mm long robot, with the front leg on a 30 degree angle. I set up a matrix revolve function so that the robot wouldn’t push itself sideways (see very beautiful sketch). However, that revolve function did absolutely horrendous. My robot’s leg traced a ln(x) function in the x, y, and I have genuinely no idea why. Then I tried a very simple coxa offset, and that didn’t work either. I taped a pen to the robot’s leg so that I could see the path that it was walking, and found that for some reason, a zero degree offset produced a straight y (“straight”, the experiment held error). Again, I have genuinely no idea why, as the code I’ve set up should make that test path the red line in my sketch. If you see something I don’t please let me know. Anyway, I wrapped up the 10h by putting together the second leg. I’ll post another devlog shortly (hopefully) that shows (hopefully) a working step gait.
As promised, here’s a video of the two legs working together. Interestingly, the middle leg is off by 30 degrees almost exactly, which would explain the “correct” forward legs at zero offset. I have to scour the program though, because I’m still not sure where it is coming from. As far as I know, the inverse kinematics have been working fine.
Made some good progress. Firstly, I finally fixed the legs. They now move in straight lines, so that the robot can move forward. Turns out I had to rotate by (or to?) 150 degrees for a -30 and 135 for a -45 (off by 180 degrees, which is interesting). I will include my best guess of what is going on, but to be completely honest, my code should not be doing that and I don’t know why it is. To figure this out, I had the very high tech strategy of taping a whiteboard marker to the leg, and tracing the path it drew in stance phase. Long story short, I have validated (on two configurations) that it works (and on the last tests I got super straight, vertical lines, as if my robot had a ruler), and have to get PCBs manufactured so it’s time to move on. I moved to the main body and housing, and got my spider design cooking up. After Fusion “lol nope”d all my loft plans, I made a very sketchy completely blue sketch and divided the loft profile into 4. It worked so I will clean it up tomorrow, then plan electronics mounts. PCB design next week, fingers crossed. Anyway, enjoy a preview of the robot running at you, and some images of a first draft for what it might look like (hopefully not too much like a cybertruck, lol)
Back to the CAD grind. I started making the robot body, before looking at how much time I had left and switching gears to the PCB so it can be ordered. I still have a bunch of work to do on the body, but I used a chunk of time to make some custom footprints and layouts/schematics in fusion electronics (very very annoying and finicky but i got it working). I got STEP files for the microcontrollers from grabCAD and manufacture pages, then placed my footprints around them. Note that the PCB is not how it will go together, I just put all the components down to show the footprints I’ve finished.
Finished the schematic for the top board of the PCB. To make the best use of space, I’m splitting the board into two 80x80mm boards, stacked vertically. The top board houses all the sensor/sensor mounts, and the bottom will be purely for servo and PCAs. In an attempt to make my schematic readable, I’ve subdivided it into subareas. Because I only have time for one shot at the board, I’ve exposed pads for each extra GPIO pin on the ESP, as well as adding solder pads for the address select on the sensors. This will allow me to change the IIC address of each sensor if needed. I’ve also included 10 extra GND, 3V3, and simply “blank” header pins for future expansion. The Lidar will be handled by a chassis-mounted Raspberry Pi Zero W, which will also handle real-time IK, cycloidial calculations, and step planning (using the equations I’ve derived earlier).
Started cooking up the PCB routing of the ‘pod. I’ve just about finished up the top board PCB. I would say this is the most complex PCB I’ve done, and Fusion free limits me to 2 layers. I’ve tried to preserve as much of the bottom layer as possible to use as a giant anti-IIC-noise ground plane. Some bottom layer traces are I believe unavoidable, just due to the size constraints (both from the ‘pod’s shell but also the fact that I don’t want to give JLCPBC like $100) that you can see in blue. Design for the robot is slowly wrapping up, there is a slight possibility initial design is completed by the end of the long weekend! Then it’s assembly and as much programming as I can fit in. If you have any name suggestions for this guy, please comment them!
Finished both PCBs and consolidated into THE STACK. This separates high power servos from my sensors. I have DuPont connectors and screw terminals to connect the two boards. I managed to fit the whole thing into the robot and align it such that the IMU is centered in the robot along both the x and y axis. That should help to simplify my data later. While the board intersects right now with the body I will fix that, so it just drops in and screws down. everything has headers and can easily be popped out if something goes wrong.
The Hexapod’s CAD is DONE! Or at least V1 is finished. I integrated the PCBs into the main shell, added a battery component, put in a bunch of sensors and LEDs, and generally finished up the CAD. This is a pretty big milestone, as I can now 3D print, assemble, program, and test my creation. Over the next few days, I will be taking this guy from the screen into the real world. It’s been a journey, from initial planning, leg design and prototyping, PCB design, and finally outer shell appearance and sensor integration. The most challenging part of the mechanical CAD was making everything fit! The robot is pretty compact, and the electronics take up a ton of space. I ended up hanging the Pi from the top of the robot to get everything to fit. I think I will have enough space for wiring, but it will be close. That is the main reason why every PCB trace is overspecced, so I should, in theory, have minimal temperature rise.
The hexapod is assembled! While I am sad that my initial goal of having it walking is unfortunately not complete, I am at the stage that all is left is programming. The last month has been hectic, but I have now started university. Over the next few months, I aim to bring the hexapod to a demo-worthy state, finding gaps of time between my engineering workload. Anyone who is interested in this project, please feel free to check out the GitHub! It, like this project, is a work in progress, but work will be made (I need this project done before my first Co-op term, lol). I’ve attached an image of the assembled hexapod. Over the next little bit, CAD files will make their way over to the repo, in case anyone is looking to build it. As this is likely my last devlog, I wanted to extend a sincere thank you to the organizers of Stardance. Being able to spend the summer working on a genuinely exciting project, while being surrounded with many others doing the same thing, is an amazing experience. I feel like having this organization helped me make real progress on my project. Good luck to all makers, and watch the GitHub for any (non-regular) updates I manage to fit in!

He decides to take a gamble on a popular story that’s been spreading about all planets having tangible gravity cores at their centers, and decides to find one for himself. Accompanied only by his robot assistant, G.R.A.V. (Great Robot Assistant of Vitri), Vitri flies out into deep space and lands on a planet named Zeta-C5, where he uses special abilities, such as turning gravity on and off, to explore and make his way towards the planet’s core. Difficult obstacles and even unexpected foes block his way, but he’s got to get through no matter what. Dev Messages: orivio: SUPERORBITAL has been a really fun introduction to Godot! Though challenging at times, designing the levels around our unique mechanics was pretty fun, and I think overall the game turned out pretty great! Obviously it is only an alpha release, so I plan on working together with Obe Dot to polish it a ton, in terms of artwork, music, story, etc. Expect lots more content to come! Obe Dot: Developing this game has been an amazing experience. This is my first big gamedev project, and I’ve learned so much. I really hope to work more on this project in the future, while also improving my art and programming skills. Much appreciation to Hack Club for creating this event! Try out the game on our itch, or watch the provided gameplay footage and/or trailer!

Setting up basic movement and levels for my platformer (guys I KNOW the sprites look bad)
I added Jump Cutting, Jump Buffering, and Death to my platformer
I added a level that teaches you the jump cutting mechanic in my 2D platformer game. I’m also experimenting with new character sprites.
I added another level with a lot of spikes, platforms and timing!
I made this cool background for my game’s menu. I learned about shaders from the book “The Book of Shaders” by Patricio Gonzalez Vivo and Jen Lowe, and some of my shaders were inspired by the content in that book. The star effect was inspired by this very helpful reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/1m0czqd/starry_background_in_this_many_lines_of_shader/
I made better running and jumping animations for my 2D platformer.
I just finished a new tileset for my 2d platformer.
I tried adding a parallax effect, but it didn’t turn out how I wanted. I fixed a bug with the camera scale not being a whole number ratio. I’m starting to add the last few mechanics to the game, which involve Black Holes.
I added input control remapping for my platformer game. We also added more dialogue.
Added a save file system
Added some great audio settings
Made new run, idle, and jump animations and added the final layer
I’ve added a few more challenging levels. I also almost finished up the sprite work on the protagonist.
Added some more levels to my platformer game, and pretty much done-iffied the player sprite and sound effects
I’m bettering my backgrounds, bettering my visuals, bettering my levels!
I’m redoing the level system to clean up the spaghetti code situation. My teammate redesigned one of the characters, and I added it to the game.
Well, I tried to refactor the entire world system, but I gave up. It was just taking way too long. I guess I’ll just have to deal with the spaghetti code for now. I did finish the level select screen, and I think it looks pretty good. I just have to rename some of the levels because they are named very generic things.
Greatly improved the facility’s tileset by adding details and more background elements.
Polished the levels even more, added new art assets, and fixed some minor tile inconsistencies. I also drew this boulder, which currently doesn’t look that great, but I’ll improve it later and add it somewhere where it fits in the game. I showed this game to my grandma, and she was able to figure out the controls pretty quickly, so I see that as a win.
Fully refactored the level manager. After a few hours, I have finally cleaned up all the code for level transitions. Now, the code is easier to understand and maintain, and adding new levels takes significantly less time and effort. I added comments on all the related code to make it even easier to read. I also fixed a few bugs in the process. For example, trying to open the menu during a level transition used to put the game in a glitched state, but I fixed that now. I moved towards a cleaner architecture where the scene root (play.tscn) manages the game state, and the pause menu asks the play scene to open the menu, instead of just going ahead and doing it. It’s possible that this refactor may have broken some other aspects of the game, so I’ll have to look over everything later, but right now, it seems to be working fine.
Started refactoring the player movement script. I’m starting from scratch, so I only have basic horizontal movement yet. I added an input sequence recorder to make it easier to replicate bugs, so you can record a sequence of inputs and then play them back again.
Redoing the Player Movement I remade the player movement system from scratch, because my previous implementation just wasn’t working. It was buggy, and the movement didn’t feel good to play. My new movement system is not entirely complete, but it already feels much better. For one thing, the variable jump height is much smoother, and stopping a jump midair doesn’t feel as abrupt. I added coyote time, jump buffering, air friction, and faster falling for game juice. I still need to fine tune the settings, and get some more people to playtest the movement. There are more movement mechanics I need to add, such as dashing, but I want to get the basic movement completely down first.
Created a rough draft of the intro cutscene, and composed music for it The intro cutscene/storyboard I used libresprite to make a basic idea of what the intro cutscene should look like. I still have more to add, and as you can tell, the text is practically illegible. Yeah, libresprite doesn’t have a text tool. But I’ll fix it soon and it’ll look awesome. The intro music I made this song using FamiStudio with the EPSM expansion and FamiStudio’s default instrument pack. This let me use the instruments I wanted while still sounding retro-ish. My brother helped me work on the song, because he’s way better at music than I am. I still need to revise the song more, this is more of a first draft. Any feedback would be appreciated lol
Added more to the opening cutscene I don’t want to give away the intro until the game is ready, but I’ll share parts of what I made. This first frame took me the longest, over 2 hours. I planned to animate the guy standing up and walking, but I now realize that that’s probably not feasible. I think it will look great anyway though. I might improve some little parts of the drawing. Creating a cutscene manager in Godot I set up an AnimationPlayer to direct the cutscene, and it’s actually quite easy. I do need to align my crossfades correctly and sync everything with the music.
Improved Game Juice and Improved Visual Effects Game Juice I started working on adding the little details to the movement that make the game way more fun to play. I added a few freeze frames when starting a dash, which was inspired by Celeste. I also added a bit of camera shake to give the player even more feedback on their movement. Visual Effects This part was really satisfying. I made a shockwave warp effect around the player when they perform a gravity switch, which looks great. Then I made the black holes look better by distorting the background. Frustrating Bugs I’ve been having a lot of movement bugs that are tricky and inconsistent to replicate, and I can’t figure them out yet. Next Steps I still need to get the AnimationTree to work, but that should really be quite easy. I still have to redesign some levels.
Refined the Gravity Switch Shockwave Even More It made the shockwave effect go by faster, and be properly centered on the player. This makes the shockwave feel just right when playing the game, and gives the gravity switch the perfect amount of impact.
Fixed a Tricky Level Transition Bug I was experiencing this frustrating bug where, if you try to run back and forth between levels too fast, you can fall off the map. I expanded the camera boundaries to see what was happening better, and slowed down the game a bit using Godot’s awesome tools. I solved the bug by reordering the level transition code. On the first slide, you can see the original bug, and on the third slide, you can see the fixed version.
Greatly improved the Level Select screen by making animated level buttons I used Godot’s Tweens to make the level select buttons rotate and pop when you select them. The effect isn’t perfect yet, but it’s getting there. What do think of the effect?
Finishing the Movement and Experimenting with Dynamic Lighting I finally got all the movement mechanics down. I still might refine the black holes a little bit, but first I want to redesign some of the earlier levels. My teammate suggested dynamic lighting for our game, and while it looks cool, it seems to difficult to set up completely for our Stardance release.
Redesigned Old Levels to Work Better With New Player Movement With player movement out of the way, I can get to making even better levels. This one in particular, which you can see below, is a level I’m quite proud of. I took inspiration from Hollow Knight’s Path of Pain a little bit. I don’t have much left to do, but I definitely want to add some better sound effects.
Added checkpoints to the levels If you find that the game is too challenging, you can turn on checkpoints in the settings menu. This lets you respawn at the nearest checkpoint after dying, instead of starting the whole level over again. I hope that this option can make my game playable by more people of different skill levels.
Greatly Improved Sound and Level Design I found it suprisingly easy to make good sound effects for my game. I dropped a rock on the ground and recorded it, and now, that’s the sound that plays when the player lands on rocky terrain after falling. I took a screwdriver and hit it against a bunch of things until I found something that sounded good. It’s a fun process! I also worked more on level design, by balancing everything so that the progression felt natural. I am almost finished with the final level, which I hope will challenging but fun.
THE FINISHING TOUCHES Yo yo yo, I am very close to shipping my game. I only have a little bit more to do. I’ve been working on improving the cutscenes, for example, making the colors look better and improving the perspective. I still have more work to do though, of course. Next up, I’m going to polish some of the movement mechanics some more, and then I’ll get some friends to playtest it.
FINALLY fixed an annoying physics bug, improved the intro cutscene, and made the black holes look better I’m very happy to say that the dash/platform bug I was experiencing previously has now been solved. The player used to clip out of bounds if you dashed into a moving platform, but now, the player will get teleported back to where they were before. I also did some work on the intro cutscene, and while it isn’t yet finalized, I think it looks much better. Also, I made the center of the black hole a perfect circle now.
Finished Up the GitHub Readme, Game Trailer, and Itch.io page! I did all the last remaining steps to finishing the game before shipping. I made a trailer of about 1 minute, and wrote a section of the GitHub Readme about the making of SuperOrbital. I’m going to ship now!
Ships:
SUPERORBITAL: The Quest of the Anomaly After months of hard work, @orivio and I finally present to you SUPERORBITAL. What on earth is a SUPERORBITAL? SUPERORBITAL is a 2D platformer where you play as Vitri, the only human born without gravity. After years of being ostracized by society, Vitri sets out on a mission to change things for the better. He decides to take a gamble on a popular story that’s been spreading about all planets having tangible gravity cores at their centers, and decides to find one for himself. Accompanied only by his robot assistant, G.R.A.V. (Great Robot Assistant of Vitri), Vitri flies out into deep space and lands on a planet named Zeta-C5, where he uses special abilities, such as turning gravity on and off, to explore and make his way towards the planet’s core. Difficult obstacles and even unexpected foes block his way, but he’s got to get through no matter what. Dev Messages: orivio: SUPERORBITAL has been a really fun introduction to Godot! Though challenging at times, designing the levels around our unique mechanics was pretty fun, and I think overall the game turned out pretty great! Obviously it is only an alpha release, so I plan on working together with Obe Dot to polish it a ton, in terms of artwork, music, story, etc. Expect lots more content to come! Obe Dot: Developing this game has been an amazing experience. This is my first big gamedev project, and I’ve learned so much. I really hope to work more on this project in the future, while also improving my art and programming skills. Much appreciation to Hack Club for creating this event! Try out the game on our itch, or watch the provided gameplay footage and/or trailer! Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WPKXYqy1FI Gameplay: https://youtu.be/-zq8ps87daI?si=sUK4_9BedT1OdXU8...

What on earth is a SUPERORBITAL? SUPERORBITAL is a 2D platformer where you play as Vitri, the only human born without gravity. After years of being ostracized by society, Vitri sets out on a mission to change things for the better. He decides to take a gamble on a popular story that’s been spreading about all planets having tangible gravity cores at their centers, and decides to find one for himself. Accompanied only by his robot assistant, G.R.A.V. (Great Robot Assistant of Vitri), Vitri flies out into deep space and lands on a planet named Zeta-C5, where he uses special abilities, such as turning gravity on and off, to explore and make his way towards the planet’s core. Difficult obstacles and even unexpected foes block his way, but he’s got to get through no matter what. Dev Messages: orivio: SUPERORBITAL has been a really fun introduction to Godot!

Got webview added and a working URL bar! next step is adding downloads and bookmarks (and the stuff a browser needs) then adding stuff like screen reader and stuff like that
Got bookmarks and tabs done (for the most part) i still need to polish it a bit more but so far so good!
Added settings page AND a thing to save and load settings
Got this so it kinda works
Got TTS working (but its always enabled) probably gonna skip the magnifying glass because it is not as easy as i thought it would be but tts almost fully works
No Visual changes but i added it so imgs are able to be read with tts my next steps are optimizing the system and adding downloads and loading things
Made UI for settings and url bar WAY better (they are in the menu button in the taskbar) but this is a huge update for UI and i think i fixed Talkback imgs support crashing the app (idk if it even works rn tbh)
Added downloads and made first build! removed cookies button from menu as it did not work but cookies do
Hey!

I made a web browser focused on accessibility it features build in talk back and is intended for users who can’t read or have a hard time reading or seeing such as someone in my family they are the main reason i started this project so they could access the internet easier i asked them what their dream browser was and they said a browser with built in accessibility features such as talk back so i added built in accessibility features that was probably the hardest part but then i let them try it they said it was good and they enjoyed it i hope this project can help many others and not just one person
Well… This is the last ship I was gonna do more and I will continue working on this out of stardance but I had a fun time making it and learned a lot and how to make electron and java script this also helped some other I hope!

Computer vision turret prototype that tracks people in real time using YOLOv8. Chest‑aiming, sticky tracking, and red‑hat filtering included (so you can put on a red cap and not be shot!). Just the body tracking right now but i plan on making the full turret soon!
Ships:
I am making a computer vison AI tracking desk turret! hope you like it, this phase is just the AI and computer vison code but I plan on making the hardware soon after submitting for funding!...

Supra Tooler 1.0 has been released. This is the first version of the python script. It has keyboard shortcuts that move the mousecursor to useful locations like top info bar on Mac to check the time.
