How is everybody’s Monday been so far?

Pretty good. Spent the day modelling 3d connectors for some servo-driven snips (some dude on the forum here was asking if there was anything on the market that would help him cut plastic and the general concensus was “not without spending a fortune”). I went super-nerdy and made everything custom-built, only for my wife to ask “aren’t you just strapping a pair of snips on top of a handle?”

Well, it turns out I was, but in a massively over-engineered way. Which meant that should they fail, having to provide support to fix them. Her suggestion was bolts and zip ties and a slightly less sophisticated “end product” – but improved it no end, as now just about anyone could make one, fix it, replace the blades etc.

So Monday is going pretty good.

I got to nerd out making complicated CAD designs, played with some electronics, made something really simple from something really complicated and tonight I get to use my airbrush to paint some home-printed resin miniatures.

Definitely one of my better Modays 😉

How’s everyone else doing?
