#3Dprinted doodad at #makersasylum for holding whiteboard markers at a more ergonomic angle without drying out the inktip. Prolly needs a few tweaks and iterations. The springy bits to hold the pen and marker are not as springy in PLA. Maybe I need to try TPU. Designed in @freecadnews.bsky.social
The #makersasylum #AMS for the @bambulabglobal.bsky.social #P1S 3d printer had a broken off piece of filament that clogged up the delivery tube. Just 2 screws to disassemble the unit & clear the offending piece. Pretty nice, clean design.
We are so excited to announce that with UID GT000019 Shield Fit24 we have officially hit 3,000 certified open source hardware projects in the database! Thank you so much to every single person who has taken the time to certify their work and make this database such a success.
Working on a simple, low cost badge for makerville.io for the next IRL conference sometime soon. Designed using @kicad.org and @freecad.bsky.social
