Wow, TIL for OpenSCAD:

"git stash" and "git stash pop" are immediately reflected in in the preview window.

Of course this makes total sense, but I'd never realized this before.

This is huge for seeing "what have I changed?" to document it in a commit message, or to verify that refactorings don't affect output, etc.

I kept getting strong Mario Odyssey so I made some cappy eyes and I cannot stop giggling!

Poor Bridget is an eater and cannot be trusted to wonder the house when we're out and about so we have recently got her the absolute largest crate we could for her while we're not home.

I am making her a magnetic water bowl that will mount to the side of the crate.

She loves having the bowl in there already and now we won't have to worry about it spilling all over the place.

So I worked out a modeling technique and with a pattern generating plugin I was able to model and print this structure which printed beautifully and can cover the whole print bed, and is SUBSTANTIALLY stronger than solid PLA would be at the same thickness.

Anyone who's worked with large prints can tell you that there are limits to what you can get away with successfully and what is a huge waste of plastic. To that end, I always found large solid walls and floors to have poor results.

This is going to be a nice little door spring for the dog crate so that the door can fail open, that way she can always go and lay down if she wants and will only be closed in if we intentionally want her to be in there.

Finished! Hopefully the plants like them and thrive in their new permanent homes

I went back to my self-watering design with the new thread and had something workable in no time. So after a weekend of printing, and forgetting to get any dirt, I'm super pleased with how they came out and how easy it will be to swap water reservoirs when they are low.
