let us know how long they last on a battery. mine won't last a whole 24hr cycle. Good info for 15hrs or so.



Regarding the wireless temp probes, the battery lasts 24hrs under heat which is great but the signal strength isn't strong enough to get a reading from inside a bag. I guess the drum + insulation is too much for the Bluetooth. Maybe I can increase the antenna size

I had to host in-laws for an extended period over the holidays, which meant relocating everything in the vegetable drawers that I didn't want to explain to an elderly midwestern catholic. Got a cheap walmart chest fridge.

It felt silly having a bunch of loose syringes rolling around an empty chest fridge, so I 3D printed this syringe rack, inspired by those old school metal filing cabinets with the little hooky folders that slot in and are suspended. It's made to the exact specs of the fridge, slides in very nice. It has handles that let you take it out like a lunchbox, and are tall enough that you can set other things on top of it without hitting the plunger handles. Or you can just take out a single rack, single syringe, etc. Lil rubber feet because some of the luer caps are taller than I planned for and I needed 3 more millimeters.

The rails are aluminum extrusions for making screen doors. 6 bucks for 8ft at home depot, easy to cut to size. Aluminum + white filament makes it feel a little less obviously home made / printed.

If I did it again, I'd make the pull tab parts less round, to hold tape/labels more naturally. The original idea was to print inserts in different colors so I can tell them apart, but I never actually stock colored filament.

STEP files (proton)

:havesomescience:

(Aside: walmart's website fully lied about the dimensions of this fridge, it's too wide by an inch to fit under my stairs, and has really fucked my shit right up, but I'm not buying another one, so that's life.)


Dude.

Since it's jar night: lid rack. This one's still a WIP. The taller one next to it was V1. The taller it got the more it swung on the print  bed so it got increasingly stringy at the top. Technically works but a bit shit. This lower one still gets a bit janky at the very top (and fits multiples of 8 which pleases me). Not fully dialed yet but ittl get there.

Also I literally just now realized that I have a non-bedslinging printer so these are possible without the shaky shaky :eek:

Bought a handful of glass petris to try out.  I like em except for the fact that you canā€™t put them upside down when doing transfers (lift the bottom out to take the transfer and then you donā€™t need to do anything with the lid) like you can with normal plastic dishes because the lid is pretty much the depth of the bottoms. 

Well, I bought a suction cup pop socket to fix that problem

That's genius! One of those things that make me think "why didn't I come up with that before?".
So I'm gonna steal your idea and use this suction cup with a little nipple that makes removal easier.



Of course I will add a 3d printed handle to it.

I got a new shelf system for my flow hood today. It is stainless steel and in two pieces the main advantage of this, as I can take the shelving system out and put in my oven to sterilize before use.
It is from a three piece cart. I bought off Amazon. It was only 23 bucks so I figured it was a great deal.

Not new-new but fairly new and I really love it. I needed a foldable SAB for my microscopic apartment, had some double wall moving boxes and plexiglass on hand, and whipped this up. There's plexi all around, the little window between the arm holes looks inappropriately small but when you're seated in front of it it's a fine view of what's going on. Arm holes close when not being used. All the raw cardboard edges are wrapped with clear packing tape- set up, blue tape to hold it, blue tape off when done and it folds flat and fits behind the couch. I've done way more agar work than needed since I made this, it's so nice to use.

500ml media bottle for scale; I can comfortably pour stacks of 10 plates in it no problem.

Could probably put some weights inside the SAB to not have to use tape each time

Yeah it's great! I thought of doing one all plexi but getting it to fold up and be roughly sealed in use would have been 20x more work (plus the cost). This ought to hold up for a few years.

Or on top, still have to tape the top flaps so it holds together.

Made some punchĀ“nĀ“pick transfer tools from metal straws and lab spatulas.
Had a similar some years ago here, but just a single one.
DonĀ“t like to always run the burner for flaming stuff.
Wrapped in alu foil, getting pcĀ“ed in an agar run,
lasts me for a while.

Straws? Something like this one?



That's awesome. You press them together with the pliers, bend them and grind them at the front?
