Project #minirack is done :)
The goal was to have a nice "living room capable" 10" rack to hold my #homeasssitant box with a touch display for smart home control, a network switch and a UPS.
And no it is not living in the livingroom now, nor was it planned ;) I could have moved the network wiring to the back/inside, but in the end it needed a little nerd factor.

Mostly made from laser cut plywood in #kumiko pattern that I spray painted black, and some 3D printed parts. All self designed/built except for the metal rails in the corners.
And did I mention it's ALL powered by USB-C PD internally? 😍

Not quite #woodworking.

Cardboard #kumiko.

Used the Inventable with fence to cut strips of equal length and notch the outside frame and middle cross members.

All the diagonal pieces are cut to friction fit with a pair of scissors.

The most awesome hackspace on this planet @maglab moved into a former #galeria store building, and they still had those product display stands abandoned on the shopfloor - one of them for mens' fragrances ("Herrendüfte").
As proper germans we need to #lüften regularly, so why not make an air quality monitor out of it? It gradually turns the backlight to red the worse the air quality gets :)
Made with @esphome , a BME680 sensor and a lasered rear wall from my #kumiko patterns lib github.com/froqstar/kumikoPatt

The things you do when you can't go to your workshop because you have to care for your sick kids :)

Okay I'll take the "goma looks better than asanoha" back, it really depends on the usecase/overall composition :)

#openscad #kumiko

asanoha and goma kumiko patterns

The goma pattern was a bit more complicated, but also looks nicer. Let's see how it looks in the final project.
Might push the source to github so others can experiment with it as well.

#Kumiko is definitely coded as lesbian, has ZERO interest in guys, while #Reina is bi. Can't deny she has the hots for Sensei. But she adores Kumiko, too, spends much of her free time with her, allows herself to be emotionally available and vulnerable around Kumiko.
