       @alan Wait! Important question: Do they make a swiffer for your cat?

       @TheNerdyMel In theory I could 3D print one for her! However, being a cat, getting her to wear it would be major achievement. Furthermore, once achieved, she would choose to do nothing other than sit in the sun with it. 😂

       @alan :boomer_laugh: I own two 3-D printers and did not for a second think about printing one. In my defense, they are only SLA printers and I've got student sculpts that I'm going to need to slice after today's class.

       @TheNerdyMel I recently finished a dust collector for a CNC router that holds a brush, so "cat Swiffer" is not much of a conceptual reach for me!

       @alan That is a gorgeous bit of printing. I'm looking forward to doing a bit more practical home printing once the kids settle into final project work and I'm not printing their experiments and exercises every week.

       @TheNerdyMel I highly recommend #FreeCAD and #blender3d  when you get into doing your own designs. Both are free and open source and bloody impressive. Both also come with quite the learning curve but that's where the fun is! Blender for the artist brain, FreeCAD for the engineer brain.
