Tinkerer’s Toolkit
summary
A rapid inventory of working things and outcomes: web VR with A-Frame and Hololens via HoloJS that render usable prototypes fast, Formlabs resin printing for high‑quality parts, Inventables CNC and the handheld Shaper for on‑desk fabrication, AxiDraw pen‑plotter and knitting‑machine outputs as tangible artifacts, micro:bit plus Johnny‑Five for quick electronics, and a machine‑learning foosball opponent that actually learns — concrete tools, code, and a busted electronics count that prove what stuck.
