Busy Junque-making
I love to experiment in my 3D prints. I design and make Junque just to push my design imagination and CAD skills as far as I can. Sometimes I have the printers doing new tricks as well. I can also “break” FUSION and OnShape (CAD software) performance with very large Boolean calculations. Most of the…

Bold Bowls
I got on a bowl making kick for a while. Experimenting with complex CAD designing. Bowls are rather easy so do get a bit carried away making them. I have far more than any one person would have a use. But my spouse does like to give them to her friends. That’s good as I…

Most of them are variations of the same recipe: carbon fiber plates, aluminum standoffs, and four arms sticking out in an…

Watta Bottles
These were inspired by an Apache native American Indian pinion pine pitch water bottle basket I saw on Antiques Roadshow. Not an exact copy. Not even close. But the shape is similar. Looks like a bud vase to me. or a small water bottle. It is what it is. Printed with PLA

Welcome
Thanks for visiting The JunqueMaker! I call myself a “professional hobbyist”. That’s because I am officially retired from my professional contracted time/labor-based income stream and can now do exactly as I please, but with no pecuniary gain. I do not have just one hobby. I have quite a few. Almost all of them are creative…
