It's planting time, which makes it time to print some markers that won't disintegrate before the end of the season.

Batch processing 16 engraved keychains.

I've had this slide extension for my F1 for years but never had a need to use it until now.

This is a 3D printed alignment jig and a test run before a big customer order. It takes some effort to get it set up, but after that it works well (inside Xtool's closed ecosystem.)

Custom sized cutlery holder. About half the size of one available in a store. Easy way to save some much needed space.

Pen case version 2. I got tired of having pens getting damaged in my pocket (especially when they leaked!)

First I tried version 1 (the black case), this prevented the pen from breaking, but the pens stopped working anyway!

I think the problem is fine grift getting into the ballpoint, so version 2 is a full enclosure with a locking cap. The ridge on the cap has to align with the one on the body for it to come off.

I'm going to look like a real nerd when I need to use it, but if that's what it takes to have a reliable pen, I'm up for it!

Checking out a reel of very affordable PLA from .ca. It doesn't bear a "Made in Canada" label, but I'm sure there's a lot more Canadian content than a lot of other suppliers. 🇨🇦 If it prints well, this could be my go-to filament.

Load testing this system to mount a new monitor to the shelving system in the shop. All the load is on the tabs that go into the keyhole slots, which might be asking a lot from PETG. This 2 lb (909g) weight is more than the weight of the monitor. I'll check it in a day and if there are any signs of stress I'll extend the mount to cover four holes and distribute the weight more evenly. I might do that anyway just to be sure.
