Voice-Activated 3D Printing

Most modern 3D printers are controlled using a small built-in interface, typically a simple LCD screen with a rotating dial to scroll through menus. It feels a bit like using an old-school video game controller: limited buttons, a two-tone display, and a clunky user experience.

While it works, the interface is outdated. In an era where we can talk to devices with tools like Siri or Alexa, why can’t we control a 3D printer in the same hands-free way? That’s exactly what this project sets out to solve.

Combing various tech, I created a system that lets you send voice commands to your 3D printer directly from your smartphone via an app. You can start prints, adjust settings like nozzle and build plate temperature, and more, all with simple spoken commands.

This project creates a supplemental interface that enhances accessibility, improves convenience, and aligns the 3D printing experience with modern smart technology standards.

Edodian Nightmare - A WebGL 3D Animation

The American Dream: A Juxtaposition

Why settle for the standard American dream - a white picket fence, house and all when you can experience the Edodian nightmare? Just don’t get too comfortable… a black hole has a habit of showing up and devouring everything in sight.

Technical Details

The swirling animation—where 3D mesh objects spiral inward and disappear into a central “black hole” is driven by an animation frame loop within a WebGL scene. Over time, each object follows a decaying spiral trajectory toward the origin. As they converge, the black hole itself gradually scales down and vanishes, marking the end of the sequence.

At the core of this behavior is the swirl() function, which computes each mesh’s position using trigonometric functions applied to polar coordinates. The radius decreases frame-by-frame, creating an inward spiral, while the angle is modulated using a phase offset to vary the motion across objects. The use of cosine and sine enables smooth, circular motion in 2D space (X and Y), while the Z-axis remains fixed. To determine when an object has reached the center, swirl() calculates its Euclidean distance from the origin. Once that distance falls below a threshold (5 units), the mesh is removed from the scene, giving the visual effect of being consumed by the black hole.

That Red Miata - Full Stack E-Commerce Web Application

That Red Miata - Founder

As an avid car enthusiast and owner of a 1995 Mazda Miata, I’ve always kept a pulse on the evolving intersection of automotive design and technology. In recent years, advancements in 3D printing have revolutionized rapid prototyping across the auto industry, even making their mark in high performance racing sport like Formula 1. Inspired by this shift and driven by my experience with 3D printing and DIY mechanic work; I began creating custom modifications for the Miata platform. This passion led me to found That Red Miata, a small venture dedicated to designing and offering unique 3D-printed accessories tailored specifically for Miata enthusiasts.
