Mayke [21/31] - To Lüften, or not to Lüften? That is the CO₂ question. Let’s check the ears :iso7010_cat_ears:

SpringSim is coming along thanks to some sound advice from my chum Jasmine #mayke

okay I totally fell off posting about this because it was mostly me swearing at fusion 360, but for the rest of #mayke I built a fancy enclosure for the gizmo

bonus #mayke 31a - portable bat classifier. Unfortunately by the time I finished it the bats had gone to bed (or possibly, it doesn't work)

Mayke [19/31] - When you have altogether too many fingers, make a parody t-shirt that is far too subtle. :ms_sparkles:

#mayke 31 - last mayke for now anyway. Spring Simulator v0.1. it's...ok? not very portable and tends to get tangled. It moves nicely in any breeze thanks to @ultrazool's idea. The leaves are tissue paper chains paperclipped on. The "surround sound birdsong" is 2 x pico + amps and speakers powered by 3 AAA batteries. Base is a dead umbrella and a garden cane. Total cost £10 (tissue paper and stainless steel wire), as I had everything else in stock.

[edit: there is sound, birdsong]

#mayke 30 back on my Spring Simulator Made an accidental cat toy but solved the power for my birdsong. Not sure about the "leaves", though they do make a good pattern

#mayke 28 got my new audiomoth working (thanks to @grajohnt for the 'not usb' switch trick). All very smooth and impressive. Now I await the bat(s) (I know there's at least one, I've seen it 🏏)

Slightly extra case for my supernote nomad. Laser ut and watercolour painted image based on Hokusai woodcut ‘dragon ascends to mt fuji’ - but my dragon is a creepy dimension hopping visitor. Fabric is from the natural history museum collab range with dunelm.

I bought a set of these snippers a while back and they are excellent... however tricky to store as they spring open and had no case. So made a superquick little webbing case today.

#mayke 22 (and all the ones I missed): been slowly chipping away at making something a bit more functional. Specifically, a spline-based scaling factor to control the profile as seen on the right side of the first picture. Made this ugly vase
