3D Printed Pizza Keychains + A Pizza Box
I printed out a set of pizza keychains with a little pizza box for storage and my daughter is getting a kick out of it! I hope it gets her more interested in designing stuff and printing it herself (or even fixing her own broken items). It makes a nice little gift for her friends, too.

Spoke Design Pen Collection
I love great stationery, so I am happy to share that two Spoke Design pens just joined the family, providing company to the first fountain pen I picked up from them a while back. A great pen adds so much joy to the writing process!

A Little Brontosaurus Has Joined the Herd
The Prusa Core One continues to amaze! One of my prints was this little Brontosaurus to add to my daughter’s collection.

3D Printed Monstera Leaf
I printed out a monstera leaf soap dish today (my daughter loves the plant)! Going to have to get a greenish color, to make it look more like a leaf (luckily I have some emerald PETG filament I can use). I’ll post the time lapse on YouTube either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. 🍃

I love the handmade Latvian coffee cup that I purchased with my dark roast from Foxen coffee. Always makes me happy to see the little fox looking up as I finish my drink! 🤙🏻

I am loving the Polymaker filament…the blue red changes when you look at the peacock from different angles.

Sadly, the trip to LIH today was rather quick! Love doing these quick jumps to the neighbor islands to do some site surveys and talk with my coworkers! 🤙🏻

The amount of vog at KOA was pretty intense. I was only there for 3 hours and the visibility was poor + you had that slight burn when breathing the air!

I completed the printing of an articulated Pterodactyl keychain and am looking forward to sharing some of the other prints in the near future. I also still need to complete testing of the Moose 3D Scanner…
