ok then. In december I attempted a 24 days of hobby stuff. And then expanded that into a 365 day challenge which I soon abandoned (https://mastodon.online/@Pepijn/115646570564212008).

It's februari. So let's try again. Here's what I did yesterday :)

Project BirthCastleBath. In the image are the the first steps into an easy to print / low material costs frame for a pole mounted bird bath using IKEA Kalas children dishes for the removable bath (/saucer section of the StarTrek StarShip BirthBath..)

Day 1

#pepijn365

Finished the 3d design in FreeCAD. The structure consists of three brackets connected by two lengths of electrical tubing (20mm or 16mm via sleeves).

The third bracket is printing right now. I'm very satisfied how it is using minimal supports (and thus minimal plastic waste).

While simpler in looks this thing will compliment the #OpenBirdFeeder
#BirdShitCastle3000 (

Day 2 & 3

#pepijn365

Tonight I 3d printed the remaining parts and cut some PVC tubing. It all fits nicely.

Day 4

#pepijn365

Something very different. Cobbled together an online grocery list tool Juliette and I can use together. It's based on a little tool we've used at work for many years, I mostly changed the workflow to a shopping list format and added layout.

Appears to work as intended. Testing is over the next week or two :-)

(and no, you're not getting the link to test the security for us ;-))
