I've Gone and Done Something Mental

The print speed for petg needs to be slower than pla. Retraction may need to be changed slightly to reduce stringing.

On the left the drawer that @ajlelectronics kindly printed in translucent PLA at 0.1mm layer height.

I was under the impression that I didn't alter the layer height, therefore it would be at 0.2mm.

Yep, he was talking about altering the retraction. I'll quiz him when he surfaces though I may forget as I'll have been to the pub by then...

How to print clear filament that remains clear...

My mistake, just read back you used the Cura defaults. I'll edit.

Pen holders...

As 'indoors was inspecting mine, she suggested that the design wasn't entirely suitable for everyone and gave me a simple sketch of something that you could give your granny. As my artistic abilities are largely zero, I'm struggling a bit!

What she wants is an attractive daisy flower on a stem, with leaves. She then wants a separate stem to hold the pen, all on a stable base. I have searched all the designs I can think of with nothing even remotely close. My intitial design is far from promising, so I wonder if we have any arty types that could come up with such a design please?

This is what she has in mind...

You must be very in tune to be able to realise what she meant from "that".

Looks like a discrete hookah to me.

My arty attempt in Paint 3D. She wants a nice leaf though rather than a Paracetemol tablet!

My Fusion 360 design workflow:
STEP 1: search yeggi.com to see if anyone else has already done it.

How do you work out what it's called..lol

Is yeggi better than thingiverse. I find it hard to search..

Today I have been mostly switching filament colours...

Are we referring to the rusty sheriff's badge here?

I have no idea what it is you are referring to.

I can thoroughly recommend this:

Looks cool. What slicer do you use for that.
Also what printer do you have?

@ajlelectronics my lad was asking how you got the lattice infill on your print on the left?
