This is my first articulated model. Pretty happy with it. It looks good, has a nice rattle when it shakes its tail, and feels durable.

I printed this nifty, compact, case to hold SD cards, adapters and micro SD cards. Not perfect but it will do the job.

One of my relatively ancient Arduino project’s micro SD card apparently went south. The project uses the oddball Arduino Yun board and provides an info display the family relies on so hopefully I can get it going again.

I think I finally have PETG setup halfway decent. I like the way this baby Groot turned out.

Running the Retraction test on my printer trying to get it dialed in for PETG. I’m at the stage where I feel a bit lost tweaking settings trying to get there.

My first attempt at a PETG print was the ubiquitous Benchy. Turned out decent even before cleaning it up. I have yet to print anything tall. I need to look for something interesting.

🤞 Trying to 3D print with PETG filament for the first time

Feeling accomplished on the morning of the first day of the new year: managed to find an obscure Wi-Fi setting on our router that restored expected performance. 👏🏼

People often regret things they do on New Years Eve. For me I regret binging on Lays… Exciting night eh?🎆

One of the first set of 3D prints I made was a case for my Pi Zero 2 W and Pi camera. I’m running OctoPrint to manage my printer and the camera lets me monitor the print from another part of the house or even when I’m away. Handy since things sometimes get out of hand. https://octoprint.org/

After having success with a number functional 3D prints I decided to try my first figure. Overall it turned out OK but baby Groot’s left arm is partly missing and replaced with spaghetti. Trying to figure out what went wrong. For now we call it a combat injury.

It was not a bad morning

Yesterday I used Cura to produce an STL file of a 2” storage cube. Today I used Fusion 360 to remix a drawer organizer which seems to be printing fine. Feeling powerful😝 But in reality still a complete n00b

My first ever 3D printed model, the classic Benchy. I think it turned out great. Now to try some more ambitious prints.

😟 Making my first ever 3D test print

Merry Christmas y’all from a 20ºF/-6ºC North Texas🎄🎅🏼 Whatever you have planned today I wish you the best.

Our kids used to wake us up to open the presents. Now they’re teenagers and the roles are reversed. 😀

TIL about wttr.in which can display current weather and forecast data in a terminal window. E.g. "curl wttr.in". Supports a ton of options. Refer to https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in.
