The Background Story : From a Homemade Music Studio to 3D printer RnD


Mel started DIY projects in 2018 with a Homemade Electric Guitar to kickstart Midnight Riptide, an online POP-ROCK-EDM band started by Mel and his internet friends. With 3 singles released worldwide, Mel wanted to step up into an instrumentalist from being a lyricist and composer. As high end instruments costs a fortune, Mel wanted to find an alternative which led him to start working on a Homemade Electric Guitar called Melocaster. Collecting reclaimed wood from old house and furniture and acquiring waste wood from nearby woodmill, Mel started building the 3D printer which was named as Meloprinter, later renamed to Melxlxtreme R1 which took more than 6 months of solid research to develop and upgrade.

MEL THUNDER AMP
The research on building homemade Amps lead Mel to develop a 100 watts Monster Amp called Mel Thunder Amp. 100% Designed by Mel, including the PCB, transformers, CAB, Preamp, Amp board, speaker protection, Power supply and the Mid Range speaker itself custom designed. The amp consists of a 3 Band EQ for Clean and Distortion Channels separately switched by a toggle with a bypass. Protected by fuses on Transformers primaries and secondaries.

It should be an interesting creature as well, my research led me to seahorse, a beautiful creation of nature.  THE SCULPTING My sculpting workflow evolved over the years,  a systematic, hence its time consuming but foolproof approach to perfection. Typically i sculpt 2-3 days straight, mostly skipping  breakfast as i get hyper obsessive. The sculpting path : Typically i could create a link and the body section, where then i can duplicate it, then scale it down and keep duplicating it up to the tail. That would save a lot of time and effort. But for the seahorse, This wasn’t the case. The body is curved, hence even after duplica...
