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

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! :)

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.
I took a covid-test (far from my first) the other day and got a negative result yesterday. Linn got her result today and it was unfortunately positive. So Happy Easter I guess…
(We all feel quite fine at the moment.)
@MrHenko I hope it is not serious.
@MrHenko Hope you’ll all have a nice Easter despite the diagnose, and that the symptoms will be mild. ??
@jeremycherfas Thanks Jeremy. Linn’s cooking risotto and drinking wine so thus far the symptoms are quite mild. :)
I felt fine up until she read her test results. At that point hypochondria kicked in and I’ve had a teeny tiny ache in my throat during the day but it’s probably psychosomatic.
@odd Thank you Odd, so far the symptoms are mild and we are having a good day. Fortunately we have a well stocked fridge, a big house and a nice garden so as long as we don’t get very ill we’ll be fine.

9 april, 2021 15:06@jeremycherfas But you see, that’s what’s so great about a 3D printer. No space? No problem, you can just print more space! Greatest rationale ever.
In all seriousness though, it is a really fun toy that I highly recommend.
