This part attaches a Raspberry Pi in a slightly stupid case I have to an external hard disk. There wasn't really a way to print it without at least some kind of support material...except leaning back at a 45 degree angle. This printed entirely without supports.

I've got a Prusa Mk4S on its way; I won't be in the geezers club much longer.

I've got newer printers as well, but I just can't get rid of the old girl

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my old one...I think there may be an update in the future for the Prusa to the MMU, and I might keep my old Folger around for TPU parts and other things. Don't know where I'll put the old machine, is the main thing.

I know I'm not going to run the old one anymore, it's more hassle than it's worth, and it's slow. But I'd like to keep it.
