Version 2 of the Rubber Duck Button. Tweaked the beak, adjusted the head position, added the wing.
Now I need to work on a background for this button.

Get Started with Soldering at Munich Maker Lab!
Join our hands-on workshop on the 22th of April and learn the basics of soldering by building fun electronic kits or small creatures made from recycled parts.
No experience needed – we'll guide you through everything. Suitable for kids as well.
Registration: munichmakerlab.de/events

A preview of something I am working on.
My local library has a maker space with the tools and materials needed to make buttons. Working on a few designs to try out the process.
This one is a Multi Coloured Rubber Ducky. Still need to work on the wing. Coding Bezier Curves without a visual reference of the anchors is tedious. Gonna pick it up again tomorrow.
The different coloured rings represent the visible area for each size buttons.
Funk This! Build progress in #MakerSpace. Copper pads wired to cap touch board. Pulsing lights triggered. Sound plays. I still get hangs sometimes. Ordered a Metro S3 to see if i can move away from Pico with Cowbell to see if avoiding SD card helps. And I’ll add audio meter panels. #circuitpython

Easter is once again the perfect occasion for another round of cute 3D prints.
One of our members just printed these adorable little chicks – each guarding a chocolate treat.

Happy Easter! I had a fun workshop painting eggs using my spinart robot. It worked pretty smooth. Using plastic eggs for training, then real eggs was a good idea. And after easter this machine can paint paper discs.

Workshop was at MBP Schöneberg (Berlin library)

I hate how modern EVs (edit: really all cars, even gas cars now) are so heavily tied to the surveillance state.
Sure, you get a battery powered car, but so much telemetry (and control!!!) go back to the corporation and government.
I've started looking into EV conversions (both DIY and small local boutique shops that do them).
They're advertised and geared towards folks that want to take a classic car or some other novelty car and convert it into an EV, but I like the idea of converting an old extreme high mileage (but with good bones and frame) beater into a new EV!
Even paying someone to convert an old ICE car into a new converted EV is often cheaper than buying a new manufactured EV. (At least from a total amount of money spent, I dont know if you can get a car loan to pay for a conversion)
And! (I don't think...) Those conversions don't beacon telemetry back to a centralized source!
Anyhow... this is just a quick observation and something that's out of my price range right now. Buying used EVs is more approachable but still expensive. Buying older hybrids is better it seems. Me, I'm looking into an old ICE car that has high"ish" fuel efficiency.
I wish transit, rail, and local bike infrastructure was more developed in the US, but here I am.
You know the makerspace in Dallas, TX has a community car mechanic shop. I wonder if they do classes on EV conversions...
