The first day with the πiFi was a great success yesterday. The kids caught on to how it worked immediately and listened to a lot of music.

The πiFi got very hot after a while so I printed a new lid with the text and some slits for ventilation.
Finally, I have the first proper beta of the πiFi Music Player working. The enclosure is 3D printed and fits nicely and the software works more or less. Tomorrow I’ll ”release it to the public” (aka the kids) and see what happens.
Another day, another 3D print. This is the bottom part for the PiFi and will likely be the one that will be used for the first actual working beta version.
Fingers crossed
You’re a lot further ahead than me in the 3D printing department
, since you’ve actually made a proper product. Unfortunately my printer is just 15x15x15 cm (just under 6″) otherwise I’d probably be printing the PK1 Pro stand now.April’s Fool Weather, indeed
This large wall hook 3D model is really useful and has helped me clean up the power chords on the side of the house where we park the cars.
On a much more fun note, the 3D printer is turning out to be a great purchase. I currently feel that every problem, expect maybe Covid, can be solved by the correct 3D model and the right amount of print time. :)
Also, Fusion360 runs great on the M1 MacBook Air.
Agreed! I’ve been having a lot of fun designing and printing things!
@MrHenko I’ve always wanted one but have yet to pull the trigger. I need a project where it is a “must have”, I think, to push me past the edge.
Covid update day three,
Linn keeps feeling quite well. Iris keeps coughing and sneezing and I feel worse today than yesterday. Sore throat, lot’s of snot and generally tired. Still not too bad, though.
@MrHenko Hope you all get well soon. With no lingering effects.
@MrHenko Best wishes, hoping all of you feel better soon.
@furstenberg Thanks Michael! It’s probably too soon to say, but thus far it seems like it will be manageble.
@maique Thank you Maique! :)

In all seriousness though, it is a really fun toy that I highly recommend.
