My dad gave me his old Roland D20. I have several of his other keyboards, but this is the one I remember the most. The best part: those floppies STILL WORK. I got to hear old files of me learning how to work the sequence. #memorylane #floppydisk #roland

I hate social media challenges. In protest, for the next seven days, I'm going to post anti-social photos, without people or color.

We're testing the #notaflamethrower at @barnacules house and for some reason the neighbor kids are interested...?

Alright, @barnacules, @mrsxaqaria and I are somewhere near you with your gear. We're holding it ransom! 😈

No, it is NOT a flamethrower. #notaflamethrower

Ah... Organized filament! Thanks, @joeltelling, for the excellent idea. After heading to @matterhackers to pickup a 0.8mm nozzle, I got these down to ~1h15m pretty bracket.

The creature has reached the final leg of his journey. I applaud your efforts little creature.

It is clear my initial assumptions were correct. His nap must have been to build up energy for the climb. Climb safe, little creature.

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2xI1BV8

The creature has not moved for some time after curling into the fetal position. Perhaps some assistance is in order.

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2LUpdcb

Curious. As I continue to observe the creature, it appears to be making its way down the hall.

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2J6aRIe

Observation continues. It appears the poor creature has tired out a bit and is taking a nap.

The socks that shed from my children's feet appear to have gained sentience overnight, attempting to assemble themselves into a more complex creature. They will require greater observation.

Box Fan Filter Clips

I've seen several people using 20" box fans in their shops with filters on the intake side to help reduce particulates in the air.  I had taken to the idea, but was simply using the suction to hold the filter in place.

Once I finally got frustrated at the filters falling once I turned off the fan, I started looking for alternate solutions.  My first attempt was a bent piece of wire that hooked over the fan handle to keep the filter from falling.  While it functioned, it was loose enough where moving the fan would cause the filter to fall.  From there I looked online for 3D printed parts to use, but most of them are larger clips that would take too long to print.  At that point I decided to model and 3D print a small retainer piece to hold the filter in place.

I used Fusion 360 to create the model for this part.  I made to to accept the screws that hold the fan grill in place, sitting slightly recessed below the grill.  I quickly realized I needed to access the screws, so I added the hole at the top is to allow your screwdriver to fit down

I've printed them several times with several different settings on my Ultimaker 2+.  From 0.15-0.25mm layer hight with a 0.4mm nozzle, to 0.35mm layer height with a 0.6mm nozzle.  I used Grass Green PLA from Gizmo Dorks, as well as ProtoPasta Highfive Blue HTPLA.  They all seems to print well.

I posted the file to Thingiverse and Bob Clagett's I Like to Make Stuff Facebook page.  A couple people said I should start selling them - and I promptly said, "No."  I really don't want to worry about tracking sales, dealing with broken pieces or incompatible fans, etc.  Instead, I offered to send a few their way for free.  In exchange I'm asking for their feedback.  Hopefully they work well on their fans!

Post-Holiday Family Game

Like a larger percentage of the United States, every year at the end of December we begin the tradition of packing up the Christmas decorations.  We spend the better part of a day pulling decorations off of the tree, remove stocking hangers from the mantel, and gather up the miscellaneous holiday clothes to get stored for another 11 months.  It's at this time we begin our post holiday game of find the forgotten decoration.

Invariably, no matter how hard we try - or how long we leave the decoration boxes out to catch the remnants - the moment we push that last box under the stairs to hide until the following November, we find something we missed. It happens every year to the point it is turning into tradition!  Happy New Year!  You're up, Mrs. Xaqaria!
