thought I would try starting a thread for this! basically, what’s something recent (or recent-ish) that you experienced that you consider a “win”? could be something big, or something small! we’ll take all the wins we can get, here.

for me, the primary ones that are localized to my life would be that my dog made it through surgery okay last month and that I am trying to learn linux server stuff again and actually feel like I’m getting it a bit more. I love learning things, but I honestly feel like I’m terrible at this skill set in particular.

also, making this post! I have been around before but I’m relatively skittish in social spaces just because of previous experiences. haven’t had any bad ones here, just memories making it hard to shake and actually participate.

    I printed the deck box on 2 different printers, and the one with the better resolution definitely needed a little bit of extra room, but it was pretty easy. I just made the inside of the top .5mm larger than the outside of the bottom. No sanding needed! I use a deburring tool for removing brims and a heat gun for removing any stringing, but no other post processing.

    The earrings are all printed as one piece. 2 of my printers are 4 color printers, so that makes things like that a lot easier. Here is an image from Onshape:

    I’ve been been trying to design a proper case for my keyboard. Currently it’s just effectively two 3d-printed flat plates. While simple to design those plates, it was a nice opportunity to learn how to use FreeCAD and learn to appreciate parametric designs!

    Hell yeah! I tried FreeCAD early on, but it doesn’t work how my brain does. My next big learning thing is going to be Blender for more sculptural designs
