February 2023 UFO

What a couple of month's it's been... but starting with the March UFO things should be looking up. FILAMENT SAMPLE MACHINE IS ARRIVING TODAY!!! - after a 4 month wait, it's finally going to be here today! I am so excited for that...

March projects are already here, half of the accessories are here (why Feb went out later than planned... half the accessories were missing >.<) but the other half are on the way! And just got an email today with the tracking information for the filament... should be good to go *knocks on wood*

Update for the January project if you haven't seen on socials - my supplier is supposed to re-order them this week and expected in March, so "should" go out in the April UFO. For those who got an IOU - you'll get 2 projects in April.

I think that's all I've got for now - thank you all for being amazing and understanding with the craziness I've been dealing with lately - moreso than usual lol

Filament Samples

All filament samples are at least 20 meters in length (actually more, I increased the length to eat up the extra filament being left behind on the rolls)

Those looking for a sample spooler, MadMonkey designed this one and it's been my favorite so far https://www.printables.com/model/36621-expandable-sample-spool-holder

Accessory

Mini Prybar Set

Supports - I loathe them with a passion! I thought this set might be helpful in cleaning them out of those hard to get places where supports tend to find themselves being the biggest PITA to remove =P I'm sure they're good for other things as well =)

Bonus Project!

+Nano version of the UFOs received an Arduino Nano

Mini Robot Arm

Some of you may remember when I did a water/hydraulic robot arm a few years ago. I've been wanting to do an electronic version. A couple different ones I found, both weren't... complete? Eh, they were a bit of a mess lol. So I put Nando on the case! He redesigned all of the models, did the code and... magic!

UFO Kit Contains:

4 x SG90 Motors
2 x Joysticks
10 x Wires
Variety of nuts and bolts
