Updated my desk setup a bit. Toddles is not sure how she's going to get to her bed when I'm standing up.

Did my choice of visible cabling and switch trigger the whole of the Ubiquiti sub? Absolutely.
Do I really care? Not particularly. Now I can access it, whilst still having space on my shelves for more Lego.

2) Needed somewhere convenient to store our olympic barbell when not in use. Had some strong magnets lying around, but needed a way to ensure the barbell didn't accidentally roll off them. Printed these little things to do just that. Design time: 10 minutes. Print time: 1h15m.

Odd problems I could quickly solve with some basic design and 3d printing:
1) Needed a way to hold the centre speaker over our new (tall) TV. Printed a 3-piece stand. I can change the top piece to suit a (planned) future speaker. Design time: 30 minutes (I am a bad designer). Print time: 14 hours.

I need to replace a bunch of workshop tools in Canada, so I did an analysis of relative costs of mid-tier, prosumer and industrial-grade tools. I was quite shocked to find Hilti is more affordable than Milwaukee. The criteria for inclusion was that the tools needed to be on the same battery system.
