In order to perform a large engraving on my Glowforge, I developed a simple tool for tiling any image into smaller chunks that the Glowforge can handle. The tool runs in your browser and can be used for your own images as well!

Customizable 3D Printed Dowel Jig
I've read that dowel joints are nearly if not as strong as mortise and tenon joints. The mortise and tenon joint requires expensive tools (specifically a table saw and a router) and the know how to make them, but dowel joints can be made with just a drill. The tricky part, though, is getting your dowel holes lined up on each piece. With my dowel jig widget, you can configure a jig for your specific situation and 3D print it at home or for an affordable price online.
Gear Shifter Knob And 3D Printed Threads
I designed and 3D printed a gear shifter for my car. An engineer experienced with direct metal laser sintering wanted to to make his own out of titanium. In exchange for the model, he made me one as well. Read about how I barely managed to tap threads into it and see how you can do it yourself in a stainless steel version.

Arduino Web Widgets For Rich Learning Experiences
O'Reilly Media's Oriole platform provides a rich learning experience by combining video, text and interactive coding widgets. To me, it seemed like the perfect way to teach Arduino, but interfacing with Arduino from a browser is tricky business. Read about how I managed to get a simple example going that includes writing code, uploading it to your Arduino and using your Arduino to interact with widgets on the page, all from your browser window.
