I've really gotten into 3D printing since our family got an awesome Bambu printer last fall.

I find SO many household problems that can be solved, or projects that can be done better, by quickly making little custom parts like these.

What are they? Doesn't matter!* They printed in 5 minutes and helped me with a project. (And I'm still making all of my custom models in TinkerCAD, a web app designed for children, because it's so fast and easy.)

* installing some custom cove lights in my office

A gentle reminder: Every masterpiece was once just a messy idea.

@marcoarment I’m awaiting my Suti. I’m worried now. As an aside, for the first time since the 1st gen I bought the Apple silicone case, for when I need a bit more protection. They are far less sticky. If you’re in a store they are worth checking out. My pocket stays in! (I put the glass against my body).

@jeffcarlson I’m heading out to Forks for a photo workshop in early October. I may have about a half a day in the Seattle/Port Townsend areas on either side. Any suggestions, photography or otherwise?

Recognize this view? From the very hill where the museum now stands, Thomas Doughty painted "View of the Waterworks, on the Schuylkill Seen from the Top of Fairmount." Nearly two centuries later, we’re still looking out with the same sense of wonder.

@gruber I can understand why these app icons remained through tvOS17, but why are they still taking prime real estate, a year and a half after they were disabled?

@philamuseum Minor White. I’ve been long overdue in discovering his photography. I’ve heard the name repeatedly, but never went in for a deep dive.
