Looks great! I’ve gotta live vicariously through other growmies posts for a week still. Steroid shots are next week than I should be able to get some more done.
Is that the same custom printed speaker I saw a post about last week or so?
Thanks much. Here's hoping you feel better soon!
Indeed it is, functional prints for life.
Trying to hold on until my surgery, steroid shots are so I don’t need to rely on pain killers, but they come with their own complications. Trying to find the right pacing in the mean time, but I hate not doing something if there’s stuff to do. It’s a struggle.
I’ve seriously contemplated getting one, so many things I could make and use, but I also wouldn’t have the time, that would probably be a winter only type of thing. But once it’s setup and I’m comfortable, obviously wouldn’t be hard to quickly set something up or tinker with files in bed on a tablet as well. But than that would flare up the carpal tunnel anyways, so waiting until after the surgeries before even testing that water haha.
I hope you're back to your normal physical self soon.
As far as the 3D printer goes, there are three main types of categories of people with printers at home:
If you're modeling it will be mouse and keyboard, but a SpaceMouse will improve ergonomics. All you're really using the keyboard for is number input.
If you find yourself in the functional print crew, don't be surprised if you wind up printing things to help in your garden. Some of the PVC fittings holding together my arch are now printed parts (less effort to model and print a replacement than drive to the store) and the hooks the "gates" to my fence hang on are also printed. Once you get in the habit of finding things you can print you'll be finding them everywhere.
