Atticus
Jun 15, 2021
We had to have Atticus put to sleep yesterday. I met him when he was 2-3 years old, adopting him from the Richmond SPCA. At the SPCA, I walked down the long aisle and near the end was this lump of black fur, curled up and facing away from the front of his enclosure. I tapped lightly on the fencing and he lifted his head and looked over his shoulder at me, slowly standing up and walking over to me.

Guess I went pretty radio-silent around here after a strong start when Covid-19 was really flaring up originally… Really, I thought I’d open up the editor and I’d have all kinds of thoughts that would flow … that is proving to not be the case. Let’s see… I’m guessing the election is going to be a clusterfuck with all the mail-in ballots, etc. My wife and I voted via mail-in ballot.

Shorter version (and wider) of the threaded container I made previously. Pretty happy with how it turned out. I used the Prusa Galaxy Black filament on this one to try out a nicer filament instead of the Amazon Basics I’ve been working with so far.

Nice little battery holder / dispenser for AA and AAA batteries. I decided to try out the flourescent yellow filament on this one. I’m happy with the results.

This print took about 9.5 hours. It’s a mount so I can move my filament spool feeding the printer to the side instead of the top of the machine to reduce sway while printing.

Nifty little container that I found and printed out on the 3D printer.

I know it’s been radio silence around here for a bit. I haven’t been paying too much attention to the news lately. It’s 1 part depressing (obvious reasons), 1 part enraging. There are people protesting lockdowns – I can’t think of anything to compare them to other than flat-earthers. There’s no sense in engaging them because they’re arguing from such a point of insanity that there’s no convincing them. I haven’t even tried talking to anyone like that though, just watching their conversations on social media, etc is enough to piss me off.
