Kids designed and made their own drop spindles today. Even my wife made one up. You can adjust the weight and density so really do nice job.

3D drop spindles
Kids designed and made their own drop spindles today. Even my wife made one up. You can adjust the weight and density so really do nice job.
Today we made up a bunch of of seed cups, it was snowing outside and we are stuck in the house again. I drew up and printed out these seed cup makers a week ago. This was their big test they work great. I made about a hundred and fifty cups it took me 10 to get the system down so they looked good. The cup makers cost about a dollar in material to print. I had economy of material in mind when I made them. I am trying putting together a rig to recycle ABS and other plastics direct to filament, but for now I have to buy rolls. The black plastic troth I thought I would show off also. It is a watering rig for the chickens. It has a removable strainer and attaches to 2 liter bottles. I will take pictures of it once I get it setup. If it ever decides to get above freezing.
BTW
I do not “Prep” but if I did, printers would be at the top of my list. Things are made to throw away anymore. They have crapy little plastic parts that can’t be replaced easily without a 3d printer. I have not had one for long but It gets almost constant use. They are simple machines but a bit finicky. If your not mechanically inclined you might want to avoid them for a few more years.

The sun came out. Took a break from cleaning up to breath some in. Wife took a pic.
BTW That’s a deck chair not a beach chair.

These are some of favorite reference guides for mushrooms and homesteading. I was going to do a write up but there are too many. There are actually quite a few more than these but these are the most referenced. The last picture is for scale. My wife and I have too many books. There is actually this again scattered around the house. I blame the winters.
