Salvaging temperature and humidity dials
A few month ago my wall clock with temperature and humidity dials feel down from the wall and broke apart.
For the clock mechanism it probably was a good move (I would throw it out of window someday anyway, so loud it was). But temperature and humidity dials were quite useful, so I decided to keep them and reuse some day. And with my new and shiny Prusa i3 MK3 printer this day just came yesterday.

Making Prusa i3 MK3 a bit more stable
A couple of weeks ago I got Prusa i3 MK3 kit as my first 3D printer.
It took me two evenings and a half of Saturday to assemble it. What a nice piece of machinery it is!
I found only a couple of problems with it, first: rubber feet that just wait for any occasion to pop out of the frame when you move the printer.
There are lot of suggestion on Prusa forum how to fix it, using special printed locks, for example, or print completely new feet (what 3D printers are for anyway, if not for replicating and eventually taking over the word).
I've decided to make something myself. And here comes my second problem - last time I used blender3d years ago, so had to spent some time remembering how it works. But after a few trials I eventually got a result with suits me completely. Here it is - a simple shell for Prusa i3 MK3 feet in blender 3d:
