and I’m dying to geek out over productive use of tech and 3D printing for small/medium sized businesses!

some parts I downloaded online to make a very compact 3U network stack. Future expansion plans include doubling the network capacity and a telescoping arm for the cellular router (ran out of time as it deploys to the field tomorrow).
Posting it here cause my kids are unimpressed with such things…

and routes all the business software down the tunnel, so no more futzing with VPNs on individual tills. And (thanks to Ubiquiti) it’s remotely manageable, so all staff have to do is plug it in, connect their laptops, and away they go!
It combines some parts I modeled, some parts I modified, and…

a printer, has USB charging ports for cell phones, and weighs in at about 3 lbs! Whereas the old version (still in use) requires machines connected to it to establish their own VPN connections (needed to make the line-of-business software work), this one establishes a tunnel back to our office…

to make an updated replacement that focused on small footprint rather than sturdiness. May I present the temporary storefront network rack, version 1.55!
This has everything needed for a small temporary storefront. It will be supporting 2 sales tills and one wired payment machine, WiFi…

Oooh, lasers! That’s on the list for next year, my partner and I both want one (she’s a metal smith, working with silver, copper, and other things), so we’re doing some research to find one that will work for both of us to share.

Looks great! What do you use to engrave the wood?

11 years of training, then I spent 30 years as a full time musician (a freelancer specializing in reading things).
Fun life, but not the most family friendly.

And two copies cause one in an easier to read octave, the other where they play it.

Here’s what it sounds like to me. Writing it using more common accidentals (Bb instead of A#, given the lack of other sharps) and in 16th notes as it seems to fit the style/tempo better for their thrashing (head banging on the beat). Hope this helps some, good luck with the gift!

Family fed, dishes done, let me go take a look!

What’s the song? Shoot me a message, happy to help around some housework here.
