3D printing ear savers for Erlanger. Anyone else who wants to help can get the STL I'm using https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4249113 and print them out and give me a shout and I'll pick them up and deliver them.

Inkscape V1.0 is out.
If you are a Mac user you won't need Quartz anymore, there is a native app now.

Better view of the light bar. It's also switched so you don't have to have it turned on.
Light bar is here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3284730
Octopi case is here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2334119

Printed and constructed a light bar (you can see it mounted on the top orange Z-Axis supports), and also an Octopi case (top left corner on the back of the frame). Also added a fun Extruder motor spinning happy faces ornament.
I have printed extra of these to fit to the Mk3 we have at Chattlab.
So the printer will have Octopi and a light bar as soon as I can get down there and fit it.

First print from the Mk3S came out nice.
Now to print some upgrades for the printer - Rep-Rap and all that...

Spent last weekend building my Prusa Mk3S https://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printers/180-original-prusa-i3-mk3-kit.h… It had been sat in a box since the end of Jan, and I finally got around to building it from a kit with help from my youngest son.
