April is a fun month. Today, we went to the local event. Attendees and participants are tech enthusiasts, scientists, and artists. They share and collaborate on projects such as robotics, electronics, 3D printing, woodworking, AI, and more. I am not an engineer, but I am interested in 3D printing and woodworking.
I met cosplayers. I talked to Sheev Palpatine (in Star Wars). He whispered in my ear. 😄

This feels like a snapshot of pure curiosity in motion—and that’s what makes it so engaging.
I love how you’ve captured the spirit of Maker Faire Miami as a meeting point of worlds—where science, art, and imagination don’t just coexist, they collaborate. There’s something really refreshing about the way you place yourself in it too—not as an expert, but as someone genuinely open to learning and exploring. That honesty makes the experience feel more relatable and alive.
Thank you!😊
so cool! thanks for sharing Lili-san. i am interested in 3d printing too – i think it’s a notable thing to learn! Mike
Hi, Mike-san! Yes, I have two 3D printers at home. I made some. I want a new laser engraver, but it looks dangerous according to the articles I read. If I buy it, I will let you know 😊
?????!!!! that’s so cool Lili-san!
you’ve got to post the stuff you make. i am curious. how did you get into 3d printing? i imagine the machinery must be quite expensive!
Mine is cheap, around $300 or less on Amazon. Professional 3D printing is very expensive. SketchUp is for designing, and Cura is for slicing. Both are free software. I attended a CAD course a long time ago. My English was limited then, so I wanted to learn technical skills. Again, I am not an engineer (my family members are engineers). It is one of my hobbies…😅
i will look into this – thank you!
