Playing with the #OpenBook. The code is still alpha so there are still some bugs (right now the pagination files are a little wonky, but code is actively being developed so i'm sure a resolution will come soon.)

@joeycastillo thanks so much again - this has been a delightful project.

Classic design error!

I forgot that I needed to mirror my design, since this would need to flip around to hold the Open Book.

Luckily I discovered the error mid print. I was able to take what had already been produced and test the size of the opening. It was a "perfect" fit, but in my design I have decided to add an optional battery case cover, so I've expanded the hole a little more.

Attempt, learn, iterate. :)

What *did* print looks pretty darn good, I have to say.

#3dPinting #OpenBook

While I wait for the Raspberry Pi Pico to arrive, I'm designing a 3d printable case for the #OpenBook.

I'm trying to remind myself: start rough, start blocky, and THEN, once I'm sure that the board fits, streamline and complexify.

@anu1905 this looks really cool! I’ve been looking to repurpose my Kindle screen as the battery is shot and it is impossible to find replacement batteries here. #openbook by @joeycastillo and #inkplate by Soldered were the two candidates. I guess time to give it a shot now.

I do a little blog hop every Monday called #OpenBook I enjoy it because they're usually light, fun little topics and they remind me to put something on my blog. This week, we're talking about vacations and whether those settings make it into our work. I'm expecting my trip to Ireland will find its way into my Gothic Romance when I get back to it. https://samanthadunawaybryant.blogspot.com/2023/03/vacationing-in-fiction-open-book-blog.html #travel #writinglife

#openbook, February (Part II):
Gerald R. Gems, Sport History: the Basics—rich but concise survey, non-Western sport included
Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun—Eternal City as Naked City, overwrought 1860s noir
Alan Cameron, Circus Factions—technical counterarguments w/ colleagues, still interesting depiction of ancient sport
Edward J. Larsen, An American Inheritance—engagingly puts slavery at center of American Revolution

#openbook, February (Part I):
Claire Keegan, Foster—crystalline fiction; a child’s perspective of loss
Burke Wilkinson, Uncommon Clay–biography of Saint Gaudens, useful but pompous writing
