It's spooky Season!

Hello and welcome back!

Since I recently moved to a new flat, I don't really have a lot of free space at the moment. So, when I saw that Instagram reel - trend of using Oranges instead of Pumpkins for carving Jack'O-Lanterns, I was immediately intrigued!

I started by cutting off the top of the Orange to get a nice and easy access. The flesh of the orange was easily removable with a spoon, I used it to make a smoothie with it later. Then, I drew on my design with a pen and carved it out with a small kitchen knife. I also cut a hole the size of my tealight at the bottom, to make sure the candle doesn't wobble around and won't burn down my house.

All of that took around 10 minutes and I really recommend it as a Halloween decoration for smaller spaces! Here are my results:

Hope I managed to inspire you today!

I'll go drink my smoothie now xx

Lightsaber? Lightsaber!

So, recently I´ve had a task on my ToDo-list that I kept postponing over and over again. The task: getting my 3D printer up and running again! But last weekend, I decided to just do it. Had it running within 5 minutes, which was funny since it appeard to be such a big task before...

Well anyways, I had to think of a project to print when I stumbled upon these amazing & free models by 3Dprintingworld!

I couldn´t help myself but fall in love with the print-in-place lightsaber, so that was quite the quick decision. Anyways, long story short: Here are my results!

I had quite some trouble getting the blade out in the beginning, but soon discovered that breaking off the tips of each blade part did the trick.

Next week I´ll buy some spray paint, sand down the print and then colour it.

Hope I managed to inspire you today!

I´ll go start my jedi education now xx
