Tanks got some algae build up, but we have lowered the lights a bit and cleaned them since these photos. Also did a partial water change.

First feeding of the new bettas. Both ate well even having to fend off the shrimp trying to be to steal their food.

School starts back soon, I have been working on setting up two planted aquariums to help with this school year. More videos on my Instagram.

Spending the day building with what I have in terms of bricks. Mostly following the plans of user Kitcat03 on @Rebrickable

When you’re not able to buy a certain vexiq piece that you need for a robot build, you ask your friendly neighborhood 3D print guy. Only took a few tests to get the hole size right. I think I did a good job.

Earlier today I printed a new South Dakota using Eryone Galaxy Red. All of the other red states so far have been printed in ProtoPasta Garret’s Chaos Red, which unfortunately I have run out of. It is a pretty close match, just a bit shinier.

Another successful micro lab. On Monday we made observations on tornadoes using 3D printed tornado tubes and houses.

Look who has another new little carrier. Now I can carry her around while wearing my nice school shirts.

12 down with 14 more to go for my daughters class. A simple remix of the spinning heart pencil topper found on printables, just edited out the words.

I don’t know, something tells me it was time for a new tube in this sidewinder.

Is there a better feeling then when a student gifts you a print off their own 3D printer? He is so proud of this 12 hour print. Not sure who the designer is but if you know the model link it below.

Two hearts as one - printables.com/model/369179-… printed on the @3dwox_sindoh dp200 using @Proto_pasta Sean’s Cotton Candy State Faire. Trying to use up some filament I’ve been hoarding for far too long.

Nothing better then sitting here lesson planning while I monitor the 3D printer in action.

Look who just had a bath and some nice worms.

Working on a proposal for a 3D printing club next year. My students will get to have design contests, learn to slice and print their models, basically get a new model every 2 weeks or so, and build printers. If all works out that will be 16 prusa minis throughout the year…

Into the 3rd 9 weeks and 12 more states are being researched for national and state parks. The students love the topographic map, and are amazed at how big Texas is compared to the others. Sadly we have run out of the proto pasta chaos red.

When your little one lets you know she has to do a presentation on Martin Luther King Jr., you break out the 3D printers and print off a few replicas of the Washington Memorial so that everyone gets their own mini copy. Model 282337 from graphicsforge on @thingiverse

4 years ago I won this printer for my reindeer napkin holder replacement. It has been sitting on the printer rack for a while now, unused due to the filament chip requirement. Today it lives again, Sindoh has allowed me to use the test firmware for open filament.
