Uh-oh.. I got to cambridge and made the mistake of starting to code.. I looked up and it was 1:30 AM.. eeek 

Quick update on the Sport port protector for Storm > Jake went in late last night and redesigned the thing and printed it in both PLA and in Carbon impregnated PLA..Dine and I picked it up today when Jake was away.. didn’t even get to thank him for his late night heroics.. but he did such an awesome job

we dropped the two models by Storms house. Her’s storms dad Matt showing how the Sport works.. It protects Storms chemo port from getting hit. Storm was going to where it in a game tonight.. Cant wait to hear how it works. Im sure we’re gonna take a few more revisions.. but this is gonna work real well 

thanks so much Jake !!

Crazy day, crazy week.. so busy with work. I did get soem time after work today to hang out with my freind Jake at Generator, He’s a

genius when it comes to 3d modeling and  3d printing. Jake’s  helping me with the next revision for the S-port device we’re developing to protect our young friend Storm’s chemotherapy port while  he plays sports. 

Lynn and I made the first version using a thermoplastic I hand molded. . it’s light.. but needed to be pretty thick to get the strength we need..  It worked for Storm, but it wasn’t comfortable.  Storms dad Matt build a model of a new design by hand using heat setting Skulpy clay.. it’s not strong enough to wear.. btut it gave me an idea of the size and shape they wayted.. ..   It looks liek this,. 

kast night Jake and I sat down and started drawing it in Fusion.. Jake woke up in the middle of the night and redid it.. so it was ready to print today,. here’s a quick look at the 3d model he made..  Its abot 10cm by 7 cm. 

we’re priniting it now in plane old PLA to check it out for size and fit.. then we’ll print it in our new carbon impregnated PLA.. it’s be really strong and light !

thanks for your great help Jake !!!

Shana Tova everyone. Today is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.. A time when  you think about the the year that’s just past, and make plans, goals and commitments fo the  year thats coming. I spent the day quietly here at home with the dogs. I didn’t feel like going to temple.. but did spend most the  the day thinking. I was thinking about how grateful I am for the love I have around us, our families and , the beautiful  place we live.

I ate soem apples and honey as part of my wish for a sweet new year

I’m trying to think about what  I  might do differently in this coming year.. I’m hoping to goof off more and worry less. How’s that for a resolution..

It’s traditional to recite the praye Alvenu Malkeinu.. 

ok.. may you be inscribed in the book of life for the coming year.. (or at least the eReader of Life)

Shana Tova !
