I started whispering to myself that I would begin striking things off my to-make list by tackeling a new project every week. I really believed myself too. I started last Monday with this post-it roller, and where it make sense in my head how I'd assemble something that worked... I'm left with piles of PLA pieces and sadness.

This isn't to say that I wont conqure this engineering conundrum... it just may take slightly longer than I was originally expecting. Who needs sleep. Who need free time. I don't.

Post-It Roller : The First Build

In this video I build the first couple iterations of a single cartridge roller, tension bar, and roller holder! It isn't quite working yet, but after some more attention to detail, it should be soon! Let me know if you have any ideas or feedback in the comments!
