Just dropped a new product!
The Pixel 10 and the Pixelsnap charger were delivered on Thursday, I started the design on Friday and finished it on Saturday night! A few pictures later and we're ready to release it to the world!

I had another variant that was intended to print long way up (vertical, I called it) that was aimed at making it a little more low profile, but I didn't want to fiddle with the slot sizing. The oblong shape for the magnet pockets is kinda fun though.

That's really about it. Slap a couple layers of chamfers (0.4-0.6mm in this case), round the perpendicular corners for the aesthetics, throw it at the printer.
I did another variant that used 6x2 magnet, but bed adhesion was poor since everything scaled around the magnet size itself.

The magnet pocket was pretty simple. I could've designed it tighter for more of a press-fit, but opted to keep it wide and rely on CA glue.
This pocket will be facing down, so the "ceiling" will have an overhang. It's only an 8mm diameter magnet, so this should be an easy bridge.

I looked around a fair bit for something similar and was surprised to come up dry.
So, for this design you give a little room to the measurements you take. From there, you can design to how you think you're going to orient the print and the layer height you'd want to use.

Kiddo and I went to the Lego store this weekend and he picked out one of the Williams F1 cars. We built it later that day, but since he's only 4 years old, he immediately broke it like 12 times. So I designed and printed a little bracket to wall-mount it to keep it safe! :)

Did some funsies on this iteration by selectively masking and copper pouring. The silkscreen with copper under vs without doesn't do as much as I was hoping, but I'm pretty happy with the effect overall!

Trying my hand at 3d printing keycaps to be used on the StrataPad.
My custom dye sub from Signature Plastics cost me about $10.25 per board since this is pretty low quantity.
3D printed costs me under 10 cents per set.
Not as much detail as dye sub caps, but it's close enough.

The only thing I'm worse at than remembering to file my QMK PRs is remembering to file my VIA PRs...
But hey, NormiePad is on its way to being properly VIA compatible!

I hate putting up Christmas lights, saw Govee had a sale on their outdoor lights and took a leap. Since my house doesn't have a great place to mount them as is, I remixed a bracket to straddle the eave joists. Once I actually get them installed, I'll put the files up on Printables!

- My first in-person vending event at the Lynnwood light rail Grand Opening!
- Updated my Pixel Watch stand to have a weighted option as well as the ability to use a fully connected band (if you're okay to turn it sideways)

- Injection molding some little pendants to be used as recycled 3D print earrings. Similar to the sheet metal design, the mold is a resin 3d print.

Been away for a hot minute! Here's what I've been up to:
- Parametric prosthetic finger that works between 5th percentile female and 95th percentile male
- A WLED stop light for my son to keep him from waking us up at 5am (it didn't work)
- NormiePad, just a standard number pad keyboard
