3d print log and review - Missile Switch Cover

Today I am reviewing the missile switch for light switches. I love the idea and the 8 year old in me thinks that it's cooler than cool. My office lightswitch will have it - I don't use it *that* often so when I do, it should be because I need to do it.

I will print, assemble, possibly paint and then give it a go.

Then I will review it.

Review:

It printed well at 5% infill, using my dodgy Silver Silk PLA (I need more spools coming for Christmas).



It works well. My favourite part of the design is the embedded nut holder on both sides of the base piece. I was able to fit in the proper sized nut and use a bolt to reach through and it screwed in nicely.

Good stuff indeed.

I give this 4 out of 5 stars for ease of print, assembly, no supports needed, and is fully functional.  I only rate it 4 stars because it did not come with modifiable source code.

It's been a while...

 Yup - not sure what to say - it had been a while.

Shimmering crescent of doom...

 It happened again.

It was small - as if I had stared into some intense LED and the afterimage of the light wouldn't go away.  It grew from a small point to an ever increasing crescent and moved across my view from right to left on the left eye.  It was disconcerting.

And once it faded, the effects lingered and I'm left with this strange feeling of dread despite making good progress in things.

I did beat myself up a bit for somehow forgetting to submit something to git yesterday.  Strange - I thought I had something but apparently not and it skipped my mind.  I know - it was that chance meeting with Bob that helped me get a happier spirit.

I'm going through the suggested book page by page and relating it to myself in a series of notes.  I will share with my co-conspirator later.
