The πiFi got very hot after a while so I printed a new lid with the text and some slits for ventilation.

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
April’s Fool Weather, indeed
So far Covid is going quite well for us. Linn is the only one with a confirmed infection but I’m fairly certain Iris has it as well and probably me too. Everybody feels quite okay today and we are all resting at the moment.
I’m enjoying a beer in the sun and I’m designing a mount for the car charger that I will 3D print later.
The first print in my own 3D printer is on its way! ☺️
@MrHenko Is it done? I’d like to have a 3D printer some day, wonder which one you’ve got, and if you’re satisfied with it.
@MrHenko I miss living in a country with Clas Ohlson ⚙️
@MrHenko Thanks for your reply. It all looks very interesting to me, but I really shouldn’t get another hobby. Even so, I think there’s a lot of little things that I could fix using such a machine. I’m terrible at 3D construction though, so maybe it’s not for me…
@odd Yeah, that’s how I keep rationalizing the purchase to myself. ”Imagine all the things that I can make that makes life easier.” 😀
But it is a very fun toy to have! And the web is full of free things to print while you build up your own 3D modeling skills.
The first print is done but I will need to redo it tomorrow. I forgot that the front mounting holes in the Pi isn’t at the very front so the space between the QR holder and the camera pole is too narrow.
The first prototype of the Pi base plate is in the printer.
Exploring new grounds
I’ve had the MoPho synth for so many years now but I’ve never really felt like I was able to program it the way I wanted. Today however, things sort of clicked for me in a new way. 😊

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