Slowly but surely.~
Would love to have a T250. Would already be finished with all 5 signs at this point.

4 more of those signs and I finally get at least the resemblance of a system to my storage solution.

Started to go down the rabbithole of 3D-printable dollhouse furniture for my kid's impending birthday, and there is some charmingly unhinged stuff out there.

Those timelapses look really silly on small objects.

Working prototype deployed at the #allotment!
Nice little low-key arvo distraction... knocked this design up in #FreeCAD pretty quickly, first prototype print done... probably needs some minor improvements but feels like it is going to do the intended job.
This is an #allotment print! The purpose is to top a cane which will be inserted next to the centre of things like tomatillo and chilli plants and allow strings to be run down to support branches. We find that tomatillos are especially problematic for the weight of their fruit causing branches to snap off.
Now off to the allotment test it out in practice!
Win. Design works, once I took into account the taper. I have these Really Useful Boxes with a divider in the top. I wanted a good way to put things like end mills and taps in there without them getting disorganised. 15 mins with openscad, and 40 mins of printing later. A design that works. The one on the left was my first try, it doesn't fit in the space on the right, cos taper.
My most recent useful #3DPrint. An organiser for my desk. I saw the design on makerworld and thought it might be interesting to try it out.
Printed on a Bambu P1S with Bambu basic pla, and support filament.
Yay! That's definitely the best adhesion I've managed in a very long time 
The PETG seems to pick up moisture even during this brief 20-odd-minutes print, though - humidity is sky high here right now (currently 65% in my living room with the door open 
); without a dry box it may not be possible to print with this material at this time...
PEI sheet for the 3D printer arrived 
time to find out if it's an improvement 
Broke out the calipers for a quick bit of #FreeCADFriday action. Modelled a replacement plastic part for the @DoESLiverpool events room door handle. It's now printing on the 3D printer.
The temporary old-bike-inner-tube replacement that @huffeec and I installed at the weekend is working surprisingly well, but doesn't look quite as nice 
1. Design and print a modular bottle shelf in a 30-slot configuration.
2. Worry that maaaaybe transforming ~1.5kg of PLA into a shelf was a waste of money (even though it _was_ a fun project).
3. Check current pricing of mass-produced products of similar capacity.
???
5. Profit! (I saved 50%+)
Okay, so the timelapse feature now fully works. The camera is just trash.
(Also: anything below 70% cooling fan speed seems like a bad idea for PETG, the most left thin towers never recovered and the overhangs look awful)

Ok, some more hints. What am I #3Dprinting?

If you wanna know how fucked up things will get if 3D printing goes (back to) full proprietary, as many fear is what Bambulab is working towards - well, I recommend you try to work with Stratasys GrabCAD... 
This is so god damn weird behaviour… the more infill I add (which is applied every second layer) the faster it goes on that layer. On layers where he only prints perimeters #PrusaSlicer limits the print speed to 15mm/s for some unknown reason. I can't find the weird setting responsible for this…

Yesterday some folks here on Fedi were talking about modern architecture and I went and browsed through some photos of the Gropius House. I noticed a unique little pencil tray on the desk in Ati's Room.
It's a simple design based on a repeating pattern of segmented circles, but I thought it was neat and I hadn't seen one like it.
Here's my version. @FreeCAD file included, libre license.
