Good morning and welcome to T stands for Tuesday.
I finally caught the cold/virus that Big J was suffering with all last week. Bummer! Hopefully we won’t continue to pass it along to the rest of the family.
Before I started feeling cruddy I was asked by Mr. G to make a cover for his new gadget…a 3D printer.
More on that in a future post.
Measurements in hand I went about drawing and figuring out how to make a cover that had a special feature…an opening for the carry handle.
I picked this blackout curtain on clearance at Target for my fabric. I have used this material in the past for printer covers…the synthetic lining keeps dust from filtering through.
After cutting my pieces I pinned them inside out around the 3D printer. That way I could take up any slack where needed and make sure my flap idea actually worked.
Tada! It worked just as I thought. The flap overlaps…think of men’s boxer shorts flap…it’s closed but there is still access when needed. :)
It’s a bit wrinkled but who cares…it serves the purpose of keeping the dust off. See the green gear like object…that was printed with this machine. I’ll do a whole post about the 3D printer. It’s really cool!
As for today…I’ll be drinking lots of hot tea with honey. Unfortunately the laundry still needs to be done, dishes washed and food made…darn it. I’ll be plugging away at those things today.
What are you doing today?
Sorry to read that you are now sick. I hope you get over the bug SOON. Those bugs can last till May, and you know what May is!
So, is that your new printer, or does it belong to the club Mr. G. belongs to? If so, I’m as jealous as jealous can be. This is awesome. I want one along with a felting machine and a sand blaster (Don’t want much, do I?).
Loved the analogy to the boxer shorts. Couldn’t stop laughing.
You picked a great way to display your coffee mug today. I enjoyed the post and loved the coffee shot. Thanks for sharing this 3-D printer, your sewing skills, and your coffee with us for T this Tuesday. NOW, get better soon!!!
The whole 3D printer thing blows my mind.
Our nephew is creating some beautiful pieces using sailor knot designs.
Good idea protecting your investment with a cover too.
Bummer you got a bug.
Take care of yourself Halle!
Hope you feel better very soon.
Happy T Day oxo
I’m sorry you’ve gotten sick :( I hope you get well soon and no one else gets it.
I’ve wondered how a 3D printer would work. I look forward to hearing more about what you do with it. Happy T Tuesday!
bummer to be feeling ill. I think you should let your to do list go and rest up with lots of tea-and a good book or movie:) I have seen how some of these 3D printers work on a tv show and they look SO cool! You made a very nifty cover for it. Feel better soon and happy T day!
Sorry to hear you caught the bug–hope it leaves you soon! A 3D printer! How awesome! I cannot wait to read more about it…although I am a little scared. Because after your post about your portrait–I had to get one! Your cover is great and the material was a good idea. I just bought a sheet to use as backing material for my quilt. Great minds….
How cool to have a 3D printer, well done on making the cover. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
Well done and so clever made! I am looking forward to learn more about this magical new tool!
Happy T-Day Halle!

a friend of us has a 3d-printer, too. there really is something magical about it.
happy t-day and thanks for your visit!
Wow! A 3D printer! Do post more about it. I see so many possibilities with it.
Happy Tuesday
Supper bummer that you got sick! HOpefully it will be short lived and your’ll be back to yourself FAST! Great job on the cover… I need to make a cover for the Kitchen-aid mixer and I just keep putting it off. Can’t wait to hear more detail on the 3D Printer :)
wow….cool, I am impressed with the new toy! took me a long time to understand what a 3D printer is…maybe you can shed light on that when you post about it again. ;)
you approached the making of the cover quite effectively…looking forward to seeing the finished product. happy T day!
Bummer indeed! I hope you feel better soon.
That 3D printer looks really interesting. Looking forward to you feature about it.
I read with interest how you made that cover. I have bought some material to cover my sewing machine and if that is successful, i want to cover my Kitchenaid too.
Happy T-day,
Lisca
I don’t think we have #D printers here.I really would like to see what it can produce.happy T day!!
You made a very nice cover. I think those 3D printers are really cool. What is Mr. G going to make? Hope you feel better soon also!
I’ve heard of 3D printers but don’t know that I’ve seen anything done with one. Good idea to keep it covered. Anxious to see what you create with it.
WOW! a 3D printer, that is so cool! I’ve seen them on TV and thought they would be fun to play with….LOL I’ll have to make sure I catch your post on it.
Your cover looks fantastic, I would never have thought of a blackout curtain for this type of project……but it make scents now that you mentioned it.
Hope you get to feeling better real soon, we had some rally nasty stuff go around here this year.
Thanks for the earlier visit and the lovely comment.
Happy T-day and Valentine’s Day
