Today is the first day of a long weekend. I’ve got some plans but nothing crazy. We’re going to a family friends house tonight for board game night. I bought a used copy of Betrayal At House on the Hill for tonight. However, I think there will be too many people to play. So instead I’ve also picked up a copy of Monikers, specifically the family edition as we’ll be playing with younger kids.
Planes
Not long ago I watched a video by Tom Stanton where he 3d printed on to tissue paper to make lightweight airplanes. I really liked the idea so I tried it myself.
My first attempt was an all in one plane that I bent in a few places by hand to get the tail upright. It worked as a proof of concept. I’ve decided to try print a bigger plane that requires multiple pieces. On this post you can see my wing I designed for the new plane, as well as the first plane beside it: https://corteximplant.com/@shroomy/116484557026996251
I actually have the second wing printed out now, and it’s glued to the first. But my phone is battery dead and I cannot take a photo… 😅
Short-Term Goals
I want to write more. Writing makes you slow down. The world today is so fast. Everything is for instant gratification or nothing. I’ve recently been listening to the audiobook version of Atomic Habits. I agree with a lot of the stuff in there. It would be nicer if it wasn’t so corporate people trying to be corporate. I’ll come up with a time and a routine to write more.
I also want to practice FreeCad more. I’ve just started and I’m using it to design the plane parts. However, we need a new sink and cupboard set up in our bathroom. I’m going to learn how to do furniture in FreeCad and design something for that. Even if we don’t end up using the design.
