![Design Talk - Happy Wife Happy Life With 3D Printing!
In this episode, we will be making the Wife happy and you know that means! Happy wife, happy life and we will use 3D printing to achieve this! You see, over 2019 we been building a new shop (maybe even two) as well as a house for her and she wanted to replace the contractor grade exterior lights, however because the way they where recessed and the type of light she wanted. Well they didnt fit, however though the magic of 3D printing I was able to design a custom gaskets to shim the light out and create a lasting weather tight seal! With this, I am hoping to inspire you with both application as well as design ideas to move 3D printing into being a practical tool for everyday use!

![Design Talk - Designing and Printing a Camera Phone Stand to Record Animated GIFs!
So all the cool kids these days are creating these animated GIF things so why should they have all the fun right? So we decided to jump in feet first and do time-lapse GIFs too! However we wanted to do them in portrait orientation rather then boring ole landscape and to do these we would start with a time-lapse video then convert it on-line to a GIF however we needed two things (1) a way to hold my old iPhone 4s in portrait mode and (2) to be able to position the phone on the table at the right height to film my Monoprice Mini Delta (see more here: http://diy3dtech.com/monopricemini_delta ). So we did the only thing a self respecting 3D Design enthusiast would do and designed our own solution and too we made it parametric on top of that! So why the STL is for the iPhone 4s, the fusion 360 file is parametric mean you enter phones dimensions and Fusion will generate one to fit your phone! Also we used standard ball head (see more here: https://amzn.to/2PyvXQP ) to mount on top a duck foot mount to hold the camera.
