    Feit SEC3000/CAM “bricked”

    Recently had to repair a bricked Fiet security camera. If too long of a WPA password is used it will cause a buffer overflow and the camera will crash which results in an endless boot-loop.

    3D Printed Zipper

    My motorcycle jacket is well past its end of life but I keep it on support. The original metal zipper slider (aka car) started bending internally until finally it wouldn’t work any more. I replaced it with a 3D printed version. Modeled in FreeCAD. Printed in PLA+. I planned to print in something else but…
