Photos and Projects

  This morning we were visited by the Apex predator of Poplar Creek in Elgin.

  “So follow the way of good people, and keep to the paths of the righteous.” - Proverbs 2:20 “Without guidance, people fall, but with many counselors there is deliverance.” - Proverbs 11:14 “Plans fail when there is no counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” - Proverbs 15:22 “A wise warrior is better than a strong one, and a man of knowledge than one of strength; for you should wage war with sound guidance - victory comes with many counselors.” - Proverbs 24:5-6 “The inexperienced believe anything, but the sensible watch their steps.” - Proverbs 14:15

  We have a nostalgic 4x6 photo frame which recently broke its integrated stand.   We love the combination of the photo and this frame so we looked for a way to fix.  We 3D printed a photo frame holder (below) with PLA-Basic white filament which took about 57 min to complete.  We found the design online and just used that but we are very happy with how the design turned out especially since this is our first real home 3D print project aside from a few accessories for the printer itself.  Was impressive to see our unit print the legs at an angle without any supports.  Photo Frame Holder 100% Holding 4x6 Photo Frame Photo Frame Holder - Limited Filament Used
