That’s super cool of you man. Great use of 3D printing 
But on the topic of the Labubu’s, they creep me out. It feels like the Gremlins (or the Twonkies from Jimmy Neutron depending on your age). It feels like they are aliens invading our planet with their cuteness but no one notices their evil smile.
This concludes your daily conspiracy theory/Twilight Zone episode (again depending on you age 
)
I found myself with an unusual problem to have nowadays: nowhere to store all my floppy disks. So I 3D printed This Floppy Disk Storage Box from Makerworld.
I printed it in Polar3D’s Retro Platinum PLA filament
I see one, possibly two THREE, America Online diskettes.
Big, Big, 
Haha Try 50 
I have used some of the 50 but all the ones on the left side of the case are AOL
I remember those things… The original ones used to come with a clear top and dividers that could be labeled… However, I’m pretty sure that everyone lost the sticky labels and the plastic keys for those things.
Anyways, not that long ago some idiot on the internet tried to call me immature with a “Windows 7 was my childhood” meme… He wasn’t thrilled when I called him young. 
Mine has a smoked plastic top for extra cool factor.
You still have yours!? Nice!
Speaking of storing obsolete media, I never figured out a great way to store a few CDs in my laptop bag. I used to keep a few rewritables with some flavors of Linux along with Windows and driver disks just in case. Jewel cases were big and had brittle hinges, the slim ones were even more brittle. The circular no name cases would create circular scratches on the disk. And finally, the sleeves would leave a checkered pattern on the surface of the disks when subjected to pressure and movement over time.
Still, I used sleeves as the damage did not affect things and they were slim and light…
Now I have a few USB drives of the tiny variety instead.
That turned out sharp! I should do better with my stack of windows 3.11 and win95 floppies that are just rubberbanded together.
It feels like the Gremlins
Haha! My wife kept reminding me that they were Labubu’s, as I constantly called them “those stupid Gremlin bear things”
Same… Also, some of you know how those things are called!? I’ve been 3D printing for a few years now and I hadn’t come across those… And if I had, I wouldn’t have learned the name of those things.
Glad that I’m still single…
Made a little reader out of a spare door reader I had laying around (re-labled HID pro point plus)
It’s all wiegand so the code is the same
I actually have an old one with a smoked plastic top that I was using until now, but it wasn’t big enough. I am currently reprinting the top in Bambu Lab Translucent Gray PETG
Looks like you need a larger 3D metal printer 
Seriously, why not?
You can’t tell me putting that on wouldn’t boot up your hard drive. 
You guys know me too well.
Uh-Huh.

One day left, better move on it.
Randomish question for tinkers / makers/ and engineers. I need a non motorized power source. Low power, slow speed.
I keep thinking of those wind up baby swings. Any clue where I could source something like that?
FWIW, the intent is to auger out a small (5gal or less) hopper of sand in a steady controllable manner. But, no motors, engines, or batteries. Also want something robust, so likely not 3d printed.
Could you do a gravity setup?
A large weight, run through some gearing ?
Possibly. A bucket of sand weighs enough to have significant energy, but the bigger and more complicated, the more cumbersome and fragile. Would be nice to find a compact, premade solution.
