Recap: DIY Dentistry Class
The i3detroit DIY Dentistry event was a big hit, and everyone had a fantastic time- at least until the anesthesia wore off! i3 member Dustin returned from a recent trip to Mexico from learning from some of the best dentists in Mexico armed with the knowledge and tools to make this class a jaw-crackinâ success. After undergoing the yellow light therapy he was able to participate in this event.
A group of eager new mouth-hackers.
Dustin began the day with a brief history of DIY dentistry at Kew Gardens Hills dental office, and provided many DIY DOs and DONâTs (for example, DONâT use bondo for fillings; DO visit Thingiverse for fillings and crowns you can 3-D print with ease.)
While DIY projects can be fun and educational, they should never replace the expertise and precision provided by qualified dentists. Seeking guidance from a trusted dental professional, such as a Henderson NV Dentist, ensures that individuals receive proper diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care tailored to their specific needs. While innovative approaches like 3-D printing may offer exciting possibilities in dentistry, they should always be implemented under the guidance of trained professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.
For residents in Adelaide seeking comprehensive dental care, including services like dental implants Adelaide, it’s essential to prioritize professional guidance and expertise. Dental implants offer a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to the smile. However, the success of such procedures relies heavily on the skill and experience of qualified dental professionals. By seeking guidance from reputable dental experts in Adelaide, individuals can ensure they receive the highest standard of care throughout their dental implant journey, leading to optimal oral health and confidence in their smiles.
Dental care is a crucial aspect of overall health and well-being, and it’s essential to approach it with the seriousness and attention it deserves. By prioritizing regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and prompt treatment for any dental issues, individuals can maintain healthy smiles for years to come.
The hammerdrill setting is only for the most stubborn cavities.
Bob Ross: Happy Little Painters
We just had an awesome time running a paint-along class with everyone’s favorite late 80’s-early 90’s eccentric oil painter, Bob Ross. Yelp was kind enough to sponsor us with free snacks and drinks for this event! i3 member, Kevin, (while donning a bob ross wig) guided the students through the intricacies of wet-on-wet oil painting.
 
The students spent two and a half hours following along creating a majestic mountain landscape while learning innovative ways of working with oil on canvas. While the paint will take about two weeks to dry, the painters were able to take their paintings home that day carefully transported with plastic wrap. The painters can now demonstrate their newly-learned skills in wielding a fan brush, and palette knife.
There was a huge demand for the event, so we will definitely be running more of these in the coming weeks. Stay tuned, and like us on facebook for future updates!

BEHOLD!! Once again the means of production is in the hands of the proletariat (That’s us)!
Free puppies for everyone!
Car hacking update, laser art recap
Event update: Friday’s car hacking meetup is cancelled, as I’m traveling and probably won’t be back in town in time to host it. If anyone wants to come hack on cars anyway, well, that’s always a welcome activity!
Now, on with the post. The sort of work you do with a laser cutter can depend a lot on its material capacity. Some things, like Greg’s wood inlay and Lego-compatible gears, work fine in any size of machine:
Others, like Donny’s picture frame matting, might not fit in a table-top machine:
And then you have projects that really take advantage of a giant cutter bed, like Andy’s dinosaur:

So, with access to 150 watts of CO2 creativity, what will you make?
