Xenomorph Gift and Box
It was my friend Dave’s birthday, and he loves the Alien movie franchise.
I found a nice model of a Xenomorph Guard on Thingiverse and using Tinkercad stuck it on a base with his name.
I then designed a box to keep the model in, complete with snap-together functioning hinge. The box features the label “NOSTROMO” above the clasp on the front, as a reference to the ship from the movie.
The box had some problem printing – I suspect due to the layers cooling too fast – so the edges started to curl up off of the printer bed.
Beyond that it turned out great, and Dave loved it.

I’ve had the Xteink X4 for a couple of months now, a £40 e-ink reader small enough to stick to the back of a phone. I’d seen a few posts about it (Khairul Selamat, Neil Brown, joelchrono, and moddedbear among them), so I got curious and ordered one.

Well I took another look at the design of my macro keys project sooner than I expected. I started over with the design of the 3D-printed part of this project, and then moved the buttons and guts over from the previous version.
