With my flying season on hold, I’m tackling some projects that will improve my shop and my videos. In this one, I install Raspberry Pi based cameras over two of my work spaces.

Making a Film Slate
Organizing many video and audio sources can be a challenge, one that is solved by using a film slate. In this video I show how to make a simple slate with 3D printing and the materials I have on hand.

Patreon account has been shuttered
Thank you to the supporters who have helped me through Patreon!
With the pandemic still ongoing, I’m unable to fly this year. This has slowed the pace of my builds and with it my videos. To be honest, I feel guilty taking your money. So I’ve retired the account indefinitely.
I’m still building, and still shooting video, so you will continue to see new updates. I’ll just do them at my own pace as I have something interesting to support.
Shop Updates
Rocket projects are progressing at a furious pace, but there are no videos to show yet. Since a lot of time has been spent getting my rocket shop up to speed, I thought I’d show you a bit of what’s been happening to get the shop ready for rocket building.

New 3D printing blog posts
It’s been a busy time with the 3D printer. In addition to some heavy duty runs printing Saturn V parts, I’ve solved issues on 2 different fronts, resulting in not one but two different blog entries! Check them out here: https://www.davesrocketshop.com/?page_id=148
