It was an ordinary Wednesday. Jay and I decided to buy fruit and vegetables up on Kingsway. We were happy to see it's now the time for local, British Columbian peaches. However, this means that our wonderful cherries will soon disappear from the shelves. The weather continued to improve throughout the day. At noon, the weather wasn't nice enough to walk around Queen's Park and power up Kimchi, our EV. We usually keep our car's battery between 60% to 80% full. Doing so gives us a pleasant 20-minutes in which to walk to park's rose garden and back.
I still have most of my 0.3 kg sample roll of ugly, translucent-red filament to burn though. It came with my 3D printer. I'm gaining confidence as to how this PLA (biodegradable thermoplastic polymer) prints. I sent the ring to the printer without scaling to my ringer finger, so the photo shows it on my pinkie. I liked to see how the hundreds of layers were added in order to create the holes. It was very interesting to check in and watch its progress.
Below is one of the first practical items I printed this afternoon. Thanks go to artu66 for his design on Thingiverse. The original design fit the bottom props perfectly when stored. I modified the design to get a better fit for those on top.
