This is about some gifts I made for my family. There are some pretty colors in the middle of the thread.
First gift I printed: this dice tower. Someone else’s designed, free to download. Over seven inches tall. This was the stress test for the printer. Came out perfect.
So: There were many dice given this Yuletide. (Big sale at Dice Envy.)

Quick shout-out to Fender for taking a couple of classic bass designs and sticking a battery door on the back in the most perfunctory way possible. At least they put it off in the corner. Maybe next time use white plastic? Just a thought.

Worth remembering that anytime I say “It’s happening!” I’m posting about design or guitars.
It’s time for both.
I’m thinking about backplates! The plastic or metal panels that cover up the internal compartments (cavities) for the electronics in the back of an electric guitar or bass.
