Every weekend I get a little bit more done. Building out the wall, filling the fittings kit, and making 3MF projects for frequently used groups ( eg:shelf, braces, screws, and snaps all in one project)

Of note: I realized that printing stacks is more stressful than printing single tiles, and ties up the printer for longer. I get 4 tiles in 21 hours when stacked, and one tile every 4 hours when printed solo. Printing single tiles also allows me to pivot and print something else between tile printings.

I had to do something.

Printing some longer hooks, and then a shelf for batteries

Picked up a Pioneer on the aftermarket. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but OMG!

This is a phenomenal duffel, the shoe hole swallowed my JG 719AXs without a squeeze, and everything else just falls into place. Leather, fittings and canvas all feel like they will outlast me (and they probably will)

I'll play with it on weekends, then load it properly for a Labor Day weekend trip. Probably will use it for extra gear this winter

Printing some layer interfaced stacks, PLA and PETG on my Qidi Q2 / Qidi Studio. Followed the directions on the YT video.

I keep getting "unable to print due to missing layers" warnings, but I can still print, both the test piece, and now some 8x8 plates.

What's going on, do I need to fix it, and how do I do that if so?

I designed and 3D printed these in the past couple of years. Realize I need to make a couple more, and maaaaybe do a little bit of dusting 😁

All of them were made "down and dirty" meaning I needed something that day, quickly. The only one I spent any real time designing was the Rey stand, as I wanted stepped heights for the tops of the stored lights.

Was going to be productive, but I've been productive all week.

Or workflow. Prepping my coffee beans for the week ahead, I realized I'd bean working "backwards" since I began traveling down this rabbit hole of home espresso.

Previously, I set the tubes on the right (because they sit up on the shelf above the machine which is on the right)

Today I reversed the set up, and the flow was seamless. Left hand holds the cap and moves the funnel, right hand holds the jug of beans, pours into left hand which drops beans down into the funnel until I've got the correct weight.

Left takes funnel out, right lifts tube, left screws cap and places tube. Move on.

Nothing earth shattering. Pretty mundane, really. It got me thinking though: how many of us bork our workflow because of traditions (working left to right, rather than right to left for example)

Anyway. Have a Sinister day, fellow lefties

Draw your own water, and your own conclusions about the design storm 👀

i3MK3S just chugging along, doing the work. One dozen ramped gridfinity-style cups. I'm repurposing two parts cases to be pill storage for my gf. 18 bays each. Two more plates yet to be printed (one in orange, for morning meds, one in clear for mid day)

Nothing fancy. Got tired of scattered plastic mason jar lids. I use seven of them every weekend, making overnight oats for the week ahead. This keeps them neat until I need them. Unexpected bonus was the thumb spot at one end (I mis-measured, but it's useful for picking it up)

OK. I'm build-illiterate, but I love this case and want a screamer of a PC built into it.

Use case: CAD/3D Printing/ Internet/ Home projects.

Case is a Corsair C70 Vengeance... looks like something you'd see in a movie about war...green, latches, lots of airflow.

Motherboard is a MSI Z270 SLI I'm told there's an i5 cpu on it

Needs GPU (or two?) ,RAM, probably a bigger power supply, (currently 600W Thermaltake). Needs HDDs several of them. Perhaps SSD's, IDK, illiterate remember?

want to run at least dual monitors, or UW +2

What's the best approach? restore/retrofit, or rip it out and put in what?

Delivery driver. Saw these on my truck this week!

Lefty Umnumzaan.

Decided to sidestep the stress and worry of aftermarket, and go with retail. Glad I did.

Busy weekend ahead, this one's going to get a workout!

Picked up a Sportkilt for lazy days at home. Nothing traditional about it. Quite happy with the velcro closure at the waist. Pockets are average at best. Figured I'd go with a non-trad "sporran" to make up for the pockets.

Could go up a size, but this was ebay'd. Not for out and about. Very comfortable!
