I’m Saahbs aka Mike Sabala. This here is my very own corner of the internet, free of external control, expressing my personal opinions and published without any warranty.

My Motto:

“Endorse your beliefs, not people or organizations which align (at the moment) with them, while remembering that ends do not justify the means”.

Quotes:

  • “Less is more” – Mies van der Rohe
  • “Keep it simple stupid” – Kelly Johnson
  • “Measure trice, cut once” – proverb

Webcam Privacy Cover, 2026-May-16 Sat, "Simple Generic 3D Printed Design"
Webcam Uncovered
(Webcam Uncovered)

I needed to replace a notebook webcam with an external unit. The one I had on-hand did not have a privacy cover, nor could I find a simple one on any of the 3d model repositories.

Requirements were minimalist design and functionality. While I found units specifically designed for this Logitech C525, they all featured intricate attachment brackets and required post processing after printing.

Instead, I spent half an hour to design a fully parameterized cover, one printed with in-place hinge and without supports.

C140 KSNS Flyin, 2026-May-03 Sun, "Wheels and Wings Food-truck Flyin"
Salinas Foodtrucks Flyin
(Salinas Foodtrucks Flyin)

This weekend was a low pressure, low ceilings VFR, windy and bumpy. Due to maintenance and weather, I couldn’t fly my aircraft for over a month, so I was excited to finally get into the air. Aircraft performed flawlessly, I did 10kt+ crosswind component landings and enjoyed hours in the air!!

KTM Duke390 for Sale, 2026-Apr-18 Sat, "I've Outgrown the Baby Duke"
2017 Ktm Duke 390
(2017 Ktm Duke 390)

I’ve been 2nd owner of this KTM Duke 390 for over six years and put 9k miles on it. It never failed me and taught me a lot. This was my fourth motorcycle and now is replaced by sixth - the Honda CB750 Hornet.

My asking price is $2,900, but I’m realistic and flexible. This bike is ready to go, nothing needs work, just jump on it and enjoy. This is a perfect first bike or an extra bike for those after work but before dinner quick mountain “brrraaaps” 🏍️.
