YoYo
Another toy for me and my cats. Unfortunately, I still need to figure out how the automatic return clutch works, as it is currently unusable and not functioning properly.

@Robert de Groot My mistake xD. I think it should be a centrifugal clutch. So that the yoyo comes back. I wanted it to have a freewheel, i.e. with ball bearings so that it can spin freely before you pull it back. However, since I only installed the ball bearings, nothing works, of course. I could remove them and insert another center piece so that it works like a really simple yoyo, but that wouldn't be my goal. Something like that in the Pic I would also need to use a longer screw because this one is much too short. However, since I haven't got the mechanism right yet, I haven't felt like cutting a screw to the right length. But that might actually solve the problem XD I would also have to grind the screw head to make it flatter or use one with a flat head instead.

Raspberry PI Rack
To create some order, I designed a small enclosure for several Raspberry Pi's with space for a Netgear switch and to accommodate external hard drives at the back. The Plexiglas on the sides is still missing, but it is not yet fully equipped with Raspberry Pi's. Oh yes, it's cut into so many pieces because of the surface area of the 3D printer. The Orange Version was my first Version but without Space for the Netgear and 1 less Raspberry but with "hotswap" Feature.

@Mw Siebert Thanks. ^^ But it could be better. I noticed certain mistakes too late, when I was already assembling the parts. You can see that on the sides. But since I didn't share it on printables or anything like that, and it was really just for me, I was satisfied with it, especially since it still serves its purpose.

@Robert de Groot Yes, that's true. Well, with the orange model, you can see that the error isn't there yet. I had somehow been thinking about the cutting and assembly, that I had made a mistake somewhere in my mind. But that was a long time ago, and I just thought I'd post something now.

Gyroscope
A small gyroscope with the aim of confusing my cats with physics later on. It will be 3D printed, but it's not finished yet, and I've also created the middle section in several other shapes.

@William Bourque In Plasticity, I usually always work with millimeters. For larger items, I sometimes use centimeters, but before I save it, I change it back to millimeters, because otherwise I suddenly have completely different dimensions in Prusa Slicer and nothing fits anymore.

@Mw Siebert Thanks ^^ I'm already designing a new middle section. :D

Hey, Welcome to our Plasticity Community🚀 It would be amazing to see, how your setup is looking and in which environment you are using Plasticity. Feel free to introduce yourself by doing the following: 👉 Step 1: Post a picture of your setup 👉 Step 2. Write a thing or two about the essential tools that you can't without:) 🛠️ My setup (May/24) Laptop: MacBook 16" M1 after 27 years of using Windows lol iPad: It's the extension of my brain. I literally write every day, everything that comes into my mind. Strategy, systems, ideas, business, thoughts, journaling, everything... Classic Moleskine Notebook: That's my whole to-do list which I am writing every evening for the next day. I like to keep things simple in business and not to use too many tools. Graphics tablet: For ANY creative or graphical work I prefer to use a pen tablet as I am much more comfy with a "pen" than a mouse for creative tasks. Plant: To keep the environment a bit more friendly as I am working every day all-day basically. It's very minimalistic and nothing fancy, as I am traveling constantly and live in different countries (it's the 6th country I have been living in in the last 3,5 years. So I try to keep everything to the essentials and not expand to much.

The space is usually tidy and clean, but at the moment I have 1-2 small electronics projects going on, which means it's a bit chaotic. Arch Linux runs on the laptop and both PCs + amd only, while DietPI runs on the hidden Raspberry PI's, which function as network storage, ad blockers (Pihole), VPN access, etc.

@Andrew Widner Nice little OSS printer farm. :D

Alt + Left click
Did something change or I'll have to just go through my functions and settings one by one in regards to alt + left click selecting all in a loop. It still seems to work like that when working with sheets or solids. But I could have sworn is did that for curves as well when I first got Plasticity. Now when I try to do it with a set of curves that are connected but there are others that are not touching but in the same base, they all get connected.

@Eugene Huliakevich With Shift, you can add additional edges without losing the previous selection, and if you press Ctrl instead of Shift, you can remove individual edges from the selection. Although I believe that you have accumulated more experience in plasticity than I have, either way. :D
