Printed in Clear PETG - (note to self: Prusa MK4s desiccant-box-for-cereal-box)

Put in my filament boxes - to replace bags.  

Will experiment with putting them in a filament dryer to refresh desiccant

(Have new skill - can spell desiccant - one s 2 Cs)...

 Prusa XL - PETG + PLA

Selected 0.20mm BREAKAWAY FULL

- fillament settings/advanced/minimal purge on wipe tower - 35mm

Pick a single extruder for the wipe tower - PETG extruder:

- Print settings -> Multiple Extruders -> Wipe tower extruder

- Print settings -> Multiple Extruders -> Stabilisation cone apex angle (under wipe tower):85

PETG As PLA support

Print Settings  - soluble full

Print Settings -> Support Material: With Sheath around the support : disable

Set the extruder where you put the petg (by default it selects extruder 2)

 Print Settings -> Multiple Extruders / support material/raft/skirt extruder

 Print Settings -> Multiple Extruders / support material/raft/interface extruder:

Note: This feature can only be used with Organic Supports when using a Wipe tower. Changing the support extruder with any other support style than Organic will disable the wipe tower.

Heat bed temperature:

Print Settings -> Multiple Extruders -> Extruders -> Bed temperature by extruder.

The setting specifies the extruder to take the bed temperature from. Setting it to zero uses the default logic that the first layer temperature is always taken from the first printing extruder, and all other layers' bed temperature is taken from the first extruder that prints the second layer. 

I set the bed temperature extruder to 1 with pla and then I modified the pla bed temp to 65 degrees

Support Style

When using snug supports, check in the sliced object for parts of the support material that might be very tall and thin, as these might fall or break in the middle of the print. If you notice them in your sliced object, we recommend changing the support pattern, and/or changing the support style to grid. 

When using organic supports, don't use interface layers, or they will create unprintable artifacts.

Bed Temperature

Try bed temp of 65degrees and use satin sheet

Gloomhaven Boxes

 We got ourselves Gloomhaven for Christmas.  I've been looking around for some ways to make boxes using my cricut.

The standard recommendation is https://www.templatemaker.nl/en/cardbox/

It has lots of different types of boxes and generates out different formats including cricut svg.

It is working today but when I looked around Christmas its backend was down and I was concerned it was going away.

As a game specific box generator, I found this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/comments/ffv9hp/folding_cardboard_for_inserts_instead_of_foamcore/

The kind poster created a generator for boxes, token holders and other game specific options:

Both of these sites are brilliant and deserve coffee :-)

Circuit Playground Notes

Circuit Playground

https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-circuit-playground

It has:

• 10 x mini NeoPixels, each one can display any rainbow color
• 1 x Motion sensor (LIS3DH triple-axis accelerometer with tap detection, free-fall detection)
• 1 x Temperature sensor (thermistor)
• 1 x Light sensor (phototransistor)
• 1 x Sound sensor (MEMS microphone)
• 1 x Mini speaker (magnetic buzzer)
• 2 x Push buttons, left and right
• 1 x Slide switch
• 8 x alligator-clip friendly input/output pins
• Includes I2C, UART, and 4 pins that can do analog inputs/PWM output
• All 8 pads can act as capacitive touch inputs
• Green "ON" LED so you know its powered
• Red "#13" LED for basic blinking
• Reset button

To program it you can use the arduino ide.  There are lots of programs available that do fun stuff that you can just download and install but first you have to setup your computer so you can talk to the circuit playground.

If you are using windows you will need to install a driver:

https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-circuit-playground/windows-setup

They say just install ALL the drivers so you are ready for any of their boards.

Then you want to install the arduino ide:

https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-circuit-playground/arduino-1-dot-6-x-ide

It looks like they've made it really easy and you just have to click the green button (some of my clients have great difficulties following instructions like that but I have every confidence in you).

Then you need to follow the instructions on that page so it can get the details of the adafruit boards.

Then you have to install the circuit playground libraries:

https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-circuit-playground/libraries

And again you can click the green button.  You have to put that in your arduino sketches library folder.  

So this is their instructions for libraries but below I've pulled out the path for you and given you a link to the windows page so you can skip some info if you're bored/impatient.

https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-all-about-arduino-libraries-install-use/arduino-libraries

as a windows user you need to know where to put it and then follow the windows instructions.

On Windows and Macintosh machines, the default name of the folder is "Arduino" and is located in your Documents folder.

This is a common source of confusion on Windows and Mac machines, your sketchbook folder is not named "sketchbook" it is named "Arduino"!

User installed libraries should go in a folder named "Libraries", located inside your sketchbook folder. This is where the IDE will look for user installed libraries. 

Windows instructions:

https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-all-about-arduino-libraries-install-use/installing-a-library

Then you can run the demo: https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-circuit-playground/libraries#run-the-demo
