I wanted an easy way to pull up my commonly used functions / aliases, instead of going through my .bashrc file, so I am creating a function that shows me everything in a nice list. I am also adding a description, and an example usage.

I am tired of always having to manually add my commonly used aliases on every machine I connect to, so I found a way to throw them on any machine I SSH onto. It will also remove them after I drop the connection.
CODE
gogo() {
scp ~/.bashrc $1:/tmp/.bashrc_temp
scp ~/.bash_profile $1:/tmp/.bash_profile_temp
ssh -t $1 "bash --rcfile /tmp/.bashrc_temp /tmp/.bash_profile_temp ; rm /tmp/.bashrc_temp /tmp/.bash_profile_temp"

Was randomly looking through Thingiverse for things to print and stumbled across a good looking Dice / Mini Holder with a lid that can be used as a Rolling Tray, so I printed it out.

I have a few plants that could use a different pot, so I test printed a small low poly planter that I liked. I printed out my first one at 100% scale, but it is only big enough for a small plant, so succulent.
I ended up scaling the file to 200% which was about the max my printer could print, and started the 3 day print.
25% of the way through I realized that I did not have enough White PLA to finish this print.
So I decided to see if I could pause the print and swap out to a different spool of Black PLA.
The print ended up finishing, and there were no major issues besides a tiny section of the infill missing between the white and black layers. But that can be fixed with some glue.

A DM for the campaign I am currently playing in requested some prints to spruce up the battle maps that we use so I found some barrels, bushes and a few boxes to use during our encounters.

A friend ordered a Spiderman Face Shell from Italy for his cosplay for PAX South, but it got stuck in customs, and was not going to arrive until after the convention. He found out that I had a printer and asked me if I could rush print him out a face shell before the con.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
The face shell was too big for my print bed, so I had to use a 4 piece version of the face shell.
Just to be safe I sliced the files with full supports and used a raft to keep it attached to the bed.
The first piece came out with no issues, and was a pretty smooth print.
The next 2 pieces came out the same as the first section, and I started taping them together to see how it looked and fit together.
There was a time crunch so I started gluing the sections together, while waiting for the biggest and most time intensive section to finish printing.
With the last section I ran into some issues with the supports being on both sides of the vent holes, and ended up snapping the first row off accidentally.
Woops, more ventilation cant hurt.
I finished gluing it all together, waited for the glue to dry then gave it a good sanding to clean up the rough bits, and smooth it out.
Total Print Time: 66 Hours
The face shell ended up pretty good in my books for a rushed project, and I was able to get it into my friends hands with a few hours to spare, before he had to leave for the convention.

Now that I have had the Ender 3 for a week or so, it is time to test out some miniature printing to see how the printer handles the small details.

Found a good way to mount a Google Home Mini, so I have more counter space in the bathroom, so I can listen to my tunes while I shower.
Bonus points for making it less likely for me to electrocute myself.

Now that I have the printer settings dialed in, it is time to print out a case for the Raspberry Pi running Octoprint, so it can be mounted to the Ender 3.
