#3Dprinted doodad at #makersasylum for holding whiteboard markers at a more ergonomic angle without drying out the inktip. Prolly needs a few tweaks and iterations. The springy bits to hold the pen and marker are not as springy in PLA. Maybe I need to try TPU. Designed in @freecadnews.bsky.social

The #makersasylum #AMS for the @bambulabglobal.bsky.social #P1S 3d printer had a broken off piece of filament that clogged up the delivery tube. Just 2 screws to disassemble the unit & clear the offending piece. Pretty nice, clean design.

What's this? Oh, nothing much. Just KICAD VERSION 9RC2 dropped! We are only a couple weeks away from the final release. Test out the nightly builds now and see if you can find any showstoppers that we can fix before that happens. forum.kicad.info/t/stable-ver...

It feels so awesome to be riding on these roads once again in #Moira #Goa ! Legs and lungs didn't complain despite the long cycling hiatus.

Booyah!! Every major release of @kicad.org keeps pushing the envelope. I'm so glad I decided to opt for #kicad way back in 2009. Can't wait for ver 9.

OK- here we go. Sorry for the delay, I was not prepared for the exertion required in the thrill-a-minute adventure that is… CACAO FERMENTATION. Yes, this will actually take 5 days. After that two days of drying. I’m not making this up. Nothing happens. Really. You’ll see. Anyway, off we go!

a man uses a large knife to open a cacao pod. It’s the same feeling as opening a cantaloupe, but far more weird and fun. Alt text is awesome, we are secret friends here!
