Building the Prusa Mini+ 3D printer

Here are some shots of building the printer. You can get it in kit form or pre-built with minimal assembly. Because I am a masochist, I elected to do the former. Total assembly took around 8 hours, I had to go in reverse for a bit because I had placed a stepper motor in the wrong location, but luckily they supplied gummy bears to go along with the build.

MFOS analog synth: Jesus take the wheel!

I tested the power supply yesterday and today connected it to the rest of the synthesizer. And wouldn’t you believe – things appear to be showing some signs of life! A couple of LEDs are not blinking – I would find it hilarious if I wired them up the wrong way – but VCO 1, the white noise generator, the, ADEG 1 and ADEG 2, and the LFO, are all putting out the correct waveforms. VCO 2 is doing something completely weird that is going to be “fun” to debug.
