@jubei @504DR @gerrymcgovern A *very* unsophisticated search for shark vacuum brought up these parts for #3dPrinting printables.com/model/888803-re

Of course I can’t know if these are anywhere near what you’re looking for.
Either way, there is many parts and accessories available if you have access to a 3d printer.

A more elaborate search is likely to yield better results. Or design your own spare parts and share.

So the lesson we learn from that mess, is do not leave the wash tank from your resin printer setup next to the window. Even if it's a north facing window. There's enough stray UV to cause some of the resin in the IPA to cure. And then cleaning the tank becomes a right mess.

Also I think next time I want to use a respirator with full organic fumes filtering and not just a P3 filter.

My custom version of a painter's point. I have a bunch of the traditional ones, and they work great for panels and wider workpieces, but are almost useless for narrow workpieces.

When I was making my grandson's crib, I took a few furring strips and drove a bunch of drywall screws through them pointing upward for finishing the spindles. They work reasonably well, but aren't very flexible.

These should work great for smaller workpieces.

Adobe Oasis by Ronald Rael 2, Desert X 2025, Coachella Valley, California

For the past 150 years, traditional craft techniques in wood, stone, earth, and textiles have faced neglect, resulting in the loss of invaluable ancestral knowledge. Architect, artist, and activist Ronald Rael champions the revival and reimagining of these methods by integrating contemporary technologies, presenting them as sustainable and innovative solutions for the future. Rooted in Colorado’s San Luis Valley—a historic borderland between the U.S. and Mexico before 1848—Rael draws inspiration from Indigenous and earthen construction practices.

I don’t have a 3D scanner but I want to 3D scan something.

What’s the recommendation in the year two thousand and twenty five?

Photogrammetry with meshlab? Lidar scan with my phone?

I have a light box and a motorized turntable if that is useful.

Anyone east of Seattle have equipment they want to share?
