Hello there! You've reached the portfolio-ish site of Ben Leduc-Mills. I like making, in many forms -- through music, woodworking, lasers, electronics, code, Lego, 3d printing, e-textiles, you name it. This website captures some of my career from interaction design, rapid prototyping & digital fabrication, open source hardware, software engineering, user research, and of course, AI.
Yes, I use AI everyday. For code, for design, and for research. No, I didn't use it for this website.
10.26.10 – UCube Z-Axis Cylinder
It’s a happy day, folks. I’ve got the first prototype Z-Axis for the UCube working. It took a lot of a error checking, conductive tape, soldering, and luck, but it seems to be holding together so far. Still need to clean up the wiring a little bit and design the end-caps/contacts between the Z-Axes and the smart board they’ll be placed on. Ah well, celebrate small victories I say.
Here are a few pics for proof:





Impressive. But what does it do?
