3D Printed Pizza Keychains + A Pizza Box
I printed out a set of pizza keychains with a little pizza box for storage and my daughter is getting a kick out of it! I hope it gets her more interested in designing stuff and printing it herself (or even fixing her own broken items). It makes a nice little gift for her friends, too.
Spoke Design Pen Collection
I love great stationery, so I am happy to share that two Spoke Design pens just joined the family, providing company to the first fountain pen I picked up from them a while back. A great pen adds so much joy to the writing process!
A Little Brontosaurus Has Joined the Herd
The Prusa Core One continues to amaze! One of my prints was this little Brontosaurus to add to my daughter’s collection.
3D Printed Monstera Leaf
I printed out a monstera leaf soap dish today (my daughter loves the plant)! Going to have to get a greenish color, to make it look more like a leaf (luckily I have some emerald PETG filament I can use). I’ll post the time lapse on YouTube either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. 🍃
Handmade Coffee Cup
I love the handmade Latvian coffee cup that I purchased with my dark roast from Foxen coffee. Always makes me happy to see the little fox looking up as I finish my drink! 🤙🏻
