Like last year, I set a goal for myself to create and share artwork online every week of 2021.

At the beginning of this year, I set out to create and publish some sort of artwork online each week.

Keeping all the users in a shared prototyping space safe, while still allowing them to work efficiently, is hard.

My Othermill Pro is great for rapid prototyping of PCBs, plastic or metal parts.
