Circular disk edge, nail & pencil. Another nail allows it to be used as a compass. Wooden rod machined on the wood lathe. Protective covers = flex TPU. Pencil holder & sleeve = PETG.

#3Dprinted doodad at #makersasylum for holding whiteboard markers at a more ergonomic angle without drying out the inktip. Prolly needs a few tweaks and iterations. The springy bits to hold the pen and marker are not as springy in PLA. Maybe I need to try TPU.

The #makersasylum #AMS for the @bambulabglobal.bsky.social #P1S 3d printer had a broken off piece of filament that clogged up the delivery tube. Just 2 screws to disassemble the unit & clear the offending piece. Pretty nice, clean design.

What's this? Oh, nothing much. Just KICAD VERSION 9RC2 dropped! We are only a couple weeks away from the final release. Test out the nightly builds now and see if you can find any showstoppers that we can fix before that happens.
