V2 shroud is a success. Will see over the coming months if PETG is UV resistant.

that looks huge, what size is it ?

PLA (which we are told is not UV resistance) seems fine outdoors. I did one of those things that goes on a watering can 4 years ago, it blows around the garden all winter and is out in sun all summer and it shows no sign of deterioration at all

(it is certainly not the rubbish plastic they cover cycling helmets with that starts to crack and fall to bits after a year or two)

Id fitted some brush draft strips to my daughters garage door. I bought an electric pop riveter to fix the aluminium angle onto the base of the metal door. It's a double door some 3.8 metres wide.

I only took photos of the underside!

Needless to say the rivet gun was ace 😄

I’ve done the same, also worth insulating the inside garage door with polystyrene

Can I ask which rivet gun you used?

I bought this INIU wireless charger last year. It would not work with my phone when it was in its protective case. The charging coil was mis-aligned. Playing with the position got it working. So I quickly knocked up this base. Not pretty, but functional 😁

I've printed another to run off the remaining reel of orange. Don't worry I've got another one 😜
