A Week Off

I had last week off from work because I needed some downtime. My other half was in Georgia (the country) with friends, and I decided that I would take the time off too. Not to go anywhere, but to spend time relaxing around the house. Maybe go visit some things. Sunday As I mentioned in my last blog, I had purchased a 3D printer; specifically a Creality SPARKX i7. For a while I have wanted to make giant candy canes for the garden over Christmas, and this year we are going ‘gingerbread house’ themed. So I took this as a calling to buy myself one for my birthday. I’ll probably post a review on the i7 once I have used it a bit more. For Sunday however, I spent my time building a model for a 180° pipe which would form the top part of the candy cane, as well as the end cap. The idea being that we fit them to some 68 mm downpipe I purchased off the shelf from B&Q. 3D printing meters of tube would be expensive in filament, so hopefully these downpipes work well.
