This week it has been Spring Break at school so no driving to campus 2 days and even though I can sleep in during the semester, this week I can stay in bed even more.
I have spent the week working with my 3D printer - finding a project to print a spool holder for a massive 5 Kg spool of filament I bought since it was such a good price per gram. I also needed to find a project file for a re-spooler so I can transfer the filament on that big spool to smaller spools that hold 1 Kg because I can't put that large spool on the spool holder for Babs (yes I named it) - my Bambu A1 mini printer. It should be noted that the print files have to be for Babs too as the print bed is the smallest of all the Bambu printers. I have printed the larger spool holder and before I print the respooler, I am going do a test to see I can get the filament to feed into the printer when the spool is on the spool holder while next to the printer.
The next big project which has taken most of my time has been designing and printing a knock-off Skådis wall organization system - boards and containers to hold my JoolTool Wheels which have been residing in plastic ziplock bags in a drawer. Making containers to hold the wheels makes them easier to find and put back and frees up that drawer space. I have printed all the trays to hold the various wheels by type - polishing, grinding, sanding, etc. and now I am printing the pegboard(s). Again the size of the board, and the trays, is limited by the size of my print plate so I will have to print multiple board. I will then use those Command Strips to mount the boards on the wall behind my JoolTool, so I don't have to deal with screws or nails.
Later today I will start mounting the board I have printed and putting the containers up and then figure out how many more boards I need to print.
