Kind of a nice thing, I cleared off enough space on my bench table to actually do work. Still working on clearing stuff off. I need to start planning the permanent organization of my workflow.
In addition to the gridfinity project, I printed some DeWalt Drill holders
This is just there start. Going to look at multiple ways to organize my things.

Before I can 5S or sigma six the garage, I need to get rid of stuff. Here is today’s donations
That artisan printer been here over a decade. The pressure washer at least a decade too. There is a Dell docking station that needs to go as well and finally, the oldest of the bunch is the Craftsman Light which was part of a kid of tools. I am pretty sure it has been in my home for two decades at least, back then Craftsman was still Good. I now have dewalt and ordered a light to replace the one I am donating. That way I am not using two different battery systems.
Pretty amazing how much space the garage has now. Still a lot more work to go, but it is going.
Weigh in was interesting today, in the morning I was actually 340.2, either gravity changed throughout the day or I lost weight.

I thought this three day weekend would be enough time to get my garage organized and the dining room area cleared.
Right now it is in doubt.
I did move some stuff around and it feel like there is space, but I just don’t see me being able to finish this weekend.

Over the past few days, I been printing out a bunch of various gridfinity containers.
I don’t know much about them, but I know I need to make a few so I can figure out what works for me.
Unfortunately, their website was flaky today, got some new ones done late.

Yesterday it was printers printing away, today it is ran out of filament.
To be clear, I ran out of grey filament on the P1S and black filament on the ender v3 pro.
Furthermore, I noticed the white running low on the P1S as well.
Need a break anyway.
Also today is valentines, yesterday I printed her a heart case with text. First multicolor.

Got both printers cranking away making bins for my new gridfinity system.
I got all the base plates done for my drawers, now focused on getting different bins to try out.
Then I will be more selective of the bins I make.

Today I got the other SMS gateway working, the frustrating thing is I do not know why it worked. There is an innate need for me to understand what is going on.
The command that made it work was
qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 -p --wds-modify-profile="3gpp,1,apn=,pdp-type=ipv4v6"
Now it could be something else I did that was right, I wasn’t methodical with my approach.
Also discovered a new WWAN tool called mmcli or ModemManager, it has a component to troubleshoot the device and send SMS messages. Different chip though, the other one is a SIM7670G this new one is a Sierra Wireless EM7455B.
Also subscribed to Tello, SIM should be coming in next week. No sign up costs (but you have to buy a SIM) and no termination fee. “Out the door” was a little more than $10, monthly it will be another $5 + taxes.
Contrast that with the 3D printer, the firewall was not sending the SSDP packets, I found a tool that does it for you, so you can trick your device into seeing the printer. I wiresharked it and saw what was going on.
I got both printers making gridfinity models. It is amazing how much faster the Bambu is though. It just works.

True to my plans, I started my gridfinity organization plans. I even conscripted my old Ender 3 to print stuff for this project.
I don’t have a pic but I decided to go to simpler versions.
Both my printers will be busy.

Finally was able to print my own stuff. It is a gridfinity base.
After I printed it, I added the magnets, as I post the 4th one is printing.
This was from the SD card though, I sliced it in Orca, then copied it to the SD card. I had to choose the filament from the AMS.
I then put it on the network and upgraded the firmware (yes I did, still LAN OK) and I was able to access it from the LAN.
Had trouble crossing subnets though, but I but of googling and I had to setup the UDP Broadcast Relay on pfsense.
Here is how it looks.
Thanks to this blog post https://nuxx.net/blog/2024/12/19/bambu-lab-p1s-on-iot-vlan/
I am almost there, after it prints I going to add 3 more filament spools.

Another championship game, It was KC vs Phili, boy did KC get stomped.
Was ok game, something to watch while I clean up my office.
Office looks better. Hasn’t been this clean for a while.
Slept in, needed it. Did not do much, next week is a 3-day weekend, big plans.
Will prep for that.
