#3dprinting

389 posts217 participants17 posts today

This just tickled my funny bone today. Hubby and have started a daily blood pressure tracking thing. I leave our BP machine on the breakfast table.

We started using a melon, from the fruit bowl, to rest our arms on to raise them up to heart level.

Today Hubby told me he was 3D printing something to use as an arm rest.

Me. So we can eat the melon now then. :)

Also, LOL that he is looking for any excuse to 3D print things. :) #MarriedLife #3DPrinting

Hey #MiniaturePainting peeps, how do you feel about the different paint #storage solutions and what different sizes of bottles do you end up with.

I'm finally working on getting back to it after *many* years, and am trying to prep and get set up. Aside from general #craft paint 59ml bottles I've grabbed a Vallejo bottle and one of the squat GW citadel base ones for reference.

Saw some #3DPrinting solution in a recent video, but I think I need to design my own.

Thinking about getting into #3dprinting. Kid has multiple friends who have some of various levels and quality and has been learning Blender and is excited by the idea. And PLA is compostable in Seattle which removes some of the waste concern. What nice but not super advanced printers do you like?

Project #minirack is done :)
The goal was to have a nice "living room capable" 10" rack to hold my #homeassitant box with a touch display for smart home control, a network switch and a UPS.
And no it is not living in the livingroom now, nor was it planned ;) I could have moved the network wiring to the back/inside, but in the end it needed a little nerd factor.

Mostly made from laser cut plywood in #kumiko pattern that I spray painted black, and some 3D printed parts. All self designed/built except for the metal rails in the corners.
And did I mention it's ALL powered by USB-C PD internally? 😍

Next project I've been doing quietly in the background... Custom designing Gridfinity storage and such for the PaintPal system.

Still a lot of organizing to go, but finally have enough shelving to hold things in a handy place. Where the minis temporarily are is to hold paints I am using while painting instead of all over the desk.

I may print the back extensions so I can go 4x5 deep for paint brushes organizers and such.
