Another year f race car design for a friend. Thanks to their inspiration and ideas, the printer, I think the 4 quarter midgets can out great!

Charlotte is taking art this semester in High School and doing some vanishing point exercises. Made me think.
Aero Bottle Holder
Another 3D printed bottle holder for my Canyon Speedmax. This is a raised bottle holder for between your arms and mounts a traditional water bottle cage.
The typical distance between for the mount holes on cages are 64mm. 2 100mm M5 bolts keep the mount attached to a custom made carbon fiber base plate.
Widgets & iOS 17 Sonoma
I am a huge fan of this underrated and probably under utilized feature of macOS Sonoma. Having the opportunity to glance at my widgets while I am on my Mac is really nice interaction pattern.
How much does an app cost?
Being an app developer, friends, family and co-workers often ask the question, how much does an app cost? This is a nice breakdown from Couchbase on the elements, stages and how long each stage of the development lifecycle takes, which helps with cost estimates.

3D Printing Project: F1 Sim Wheel
I have always enjoyed the concept of being immersed into a virtual world. One of my first experiences with VR was in roughly 1993 when our local arcade introduced a game from one of the OG gaming founders John Waldron called Dactyl Nightmare on a 1000CS. After that experience, I have always wanted to build a motion sim which gets you as close to reality as possible.
Last year I took the first steps and decided to put the initial blocks in place and start with sim platform that I could eventually add motion to. I purchased a Fanatic wheel base and thought it would be a great learning experience to build the steering wheel from scratch. Many of the components can be built versus bought which is what is keeping me motivated to eventually get the entire system together.
Laser Cutting Project: Bicycle hook
This weekends challenge, a better hook for a bicycle:
Want to laser cut one of your own or remix it? Check it out on Thingiverse
This is a vertical based bike hook for bicycles with aero (deep) front rims. Currently there are not many wheel hooks that keep the front wheel vertical and that don’t scratch the rim when putting the bike up.
The hook is lasercut using a glowforge and medium draft board (the material thickness is important as all the slots need to interlock). Assembly is slotting the parts together and installation requires two screws/anchors into the wall.
It was specifically designed for a Reynolds AR80, however, I believe other wheels with similar dimensions, depths or profiles should fit.
