The “Skilled Hands” Club purchased an entry-level 3D printer, the XYZ Da Vinci 1.0. And I’m having trouble with the Silk PLA; the first layer isn’t adhering well – it starts curling up, and the model shifts right from the beginning, causing everything to go awry. I ordered some glue. But it will only arrive in two days. What to do in the meantime, without glue? I went looking for sugar. There’s absolutely no sugar at home. Found honey! Well, am I not a solution architect? I added a bit of water, microwaved it, applied a thin layer, wiped off the excess with a napkin – and it works! Just great, why did I even buy special glue?

I am printing a part for a smart trash can. It has a sensor that opens the lid when a hand approaches, but it also reacts to people walking by. I unscrewed the sensor, relocated it to a convenient spot, and now I am printing a cover/mount for the sensor board.
