I think you're on to something

Ok, heres a question for all the WH ladies out there..if one was to wear a WH pendant, how would you prefer the ring to face?

Mrs 3D would prefer the ring to face the same as the keyfob, so a cord could be looped through the ring and "cats paw" to the pendant, and the pendant doesnt slide on the cord. My initial thoughts were pendant would go an whatever cord or necklace and could float freely while still laying flat.

 

Soooo..should we leave the pendant as is..or turn the ring so its just like the keyfob?

We're not much for wearing necklaces but that's the way I'd vote to put it. That way it can slide freely and not get twisted up.

Heres  the silver up against my blue/gray prototyping filament

[ebinmaine 67,455]

Quite a difference

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Todays tinkering...modify the Quart size jar stein with the zip tie pockets, beef up the lid a little thicker, and display in #EC1207 enzo red(or as close as this monitor can get) ..ready for a print! Will likely still paint the hood ornament base portion in silver, but all else stays red other than the topper.

Those little plastic tie rod end caps????

 

When I was cleaning on Dug the other day, I noted a loose piece of quite thin plastic on the end of his steering rod that pushes on the end of the rod and is supposed to snap around the shaft of the ball. Think you can just see it there just behind the left front tire.

Silver run of keyfobs and pendants came out good. Im pretty pleased.The silver reflects the light nicely from different angles, and is right on for a silver crayola.

Might do to remember that color for tools and garage accessories.

Good for shielding from rain but they hold dust blown up into them.

Workin on an led ornament for Dug...once finished with the black, im thinking the spokes, hub, and rim in white

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Todays tinkering...pallet jack and BIG wrenches and sockets, 5ft pry bar, and a big 24"pipe wrench.

Still pondering priority of items for Big Show.

Thinking at the moment the direct replacement stuff should be priority.(headlight lenses, ornaments) so right now Im workin a few batches of those.
