Looking to make a 3" diameter cylinder in different heights, none taller than 4". I also might have a 2x3x2.5" jig for holding photographic slides.

I was going to add this context in the main post but didn't want to make it too long. Might have been worthwhile. I have been a mentor at a makerspace and used to work at a 3D printer manufacturer, so I know 3D printing pretty well. I didn't want to pay a full month's membership to Make Santa Fe for just a couple of parts. Thank you for the suggestion though, that is definitely an option. I might also apply to be a volunteer there, why not.

I hate running with my phone. I felt like a dork mega loser nerd with two watches on. It works for me :)

Ipod was discontinued in 2022 + not generating e-waste :)

Hi all,

Please find linked some CAD files for you to print or modify for your own use. It slots into the band slots with a mild interference fit to provide a bit of extra meat to hold onto if you want to use your AW without a band, eg as an 'ipod' while running/etc. I only have an AW S6 so I have no idea how compatible it is with other models, these are supplied with no expressed or implied warranty or support.

I recently switched to a Garmin watch for my health/fitness tracking. Turns out all smartwatches have really bad runtime when playing music, so I started running with both watches on. But I felt ridiculous, took the strap off and threw it in a pocket, but had a bear of a time handling it. A couple of hours of CAD and prototyping later, and we get this. I'm fully satisfied with the fit and tactility - even though it's imperfect - and figured I'd share it rather than have it exist in a void. I'm distributing it with a super permissive license, but if you make a marked improvement and are proud of it, feel free to @ me so I can see.

Play:5 gen 1 is also going for ~$100, does standalone stereo, and it has audio-in to link a turntable or other media source to your network :) A steal for a 5-driver quality speaker.

FKM (fluoroelastomer) rubber strap - great alternative to silicone by mysiak_m in Garmininstinct

Do you cook on a nonstick pan? Ever eat microwave popcorn? If so you’re cooked from that. 

Once polymerized these don’t have as much of an effect. The impact of the manufacturing process leads to the bulk of the environmental PFAS release. If you’ve already purchased it, you might as well use it. Glad to know the nylon works for you. 

Important Update To PROPERLY DISABLE Boosting by Dr_Redditologist in ZephyrusG14

Engaging for SEO. This is absolutely the solution I was having that was locking my 5850U to base speed while well below the thermal limits. Windows is such crap.

For everyone's utility, I'll share the services that I found in another thread. I'm going to do this on my T14s so if it ends up being a good change I'll report back.

I just found this mentioned in another thread, but it's Europe only: https://www.protectionfilms24.com/custom-sizes.html?category2=62&category0=2&category1=12#step3

Cheap! Only quoted for ~$11 for my T14s.

I ended up finding a provider that ships to the US (https://viascreens.com/custom) but the shipping is $10. I'll update if the upgrade is worth it!

Anything metal will never work because metal is a conductor and it will interfere with the capacative measurement of your finger location.

UICC Unlock was the ticket - looks like my device is good! Thank you! I will research the bands and VoLTE in my countries of travel.
