When de-molding this mold it had a preference to turn as it slid out, which meant the very tip of cone was forced to push against the very thin wings and it broke them.

I’m printing up a new positive mold that softens these wings at the end but since that’s going to take 10 hours I might pour this one again and try to de-mold it more gently.
Speaking of work: I’m making a ceramic V60 dripper! Here’s the 3d printed cone (there’ll be a base and handle)

It’s a small, single-cup, cone filter dripper that I’m hoping to have a few of in the next couple of weeks. If you have opinions about single-cup drippers and their handles, let me know!
Dave Rutledge has an interesting journal going. He’s tracking each hobby and what he’s done recently. As someone with a lot of hobbies and projects these days I want to do something similar—though what I really want is everyone else to do something similar.
I’m going to take a stab at my own and figure out how to incorporate it here. I miss hearing what other people are doing and I guess maybe someone misses hearing what I’m doing.
Oh, and check out the /blogs feature. I’m now tracking who has recently updated. Again if you hold down ⌘ while clicking each blog it’ll grey it out and send it to the bottom.
