Thanks for all the fish
went swimming in the lake with the phone and also took some underwater pictures. This time apparently some water got into the phone and forced the FaceID to shut off. An error message appeared that FaceID has been disabled and phone needs service. No way to reset it.
So I made an appointment at the Genius Bar in the Apple Store in Berlin. Had hoped they can possibly diagnose and reset a flag to enable FaceID again. I’m sure once it’s dried up, it should be working again.
But of course Apple refused. They claimed it’s the most precise and sensitive function in the phone and thus can’t be simply re-enabled. Only option is a full swap-out of the phone. Which would cost more than 600 EUR at this stage. That obviously doesn’t make economic sense.
I guess I have to live without the convenience of FaceID on my iPhone now. Otherwise it’s still working perfectly fine.
Night Stand
Scott Yu-Jan, famous for his meticulous design and tinkering with his 3D Printer took on Dieter Rams for an iPhone Nightstand. Inspired by musician OVERWERK and building on his original model of the DN 40 he created a sleek iPhone night stand with a quick release button. The projects files a derivates are available on the BambuLabs Makeworld
The design is based on the BRAUN DN 40 designed by Dieter Rams
Steak
visit to Steakhouse Marzahn. Rather improbable location for a really expensive but very good steak house. As expected the guests were partially shady cliché role models of various kinds.
The food was really good though. We haven’t tried to most expensive options of course. Spending 700 EUR on a steak is too much for me.
Movie night
On Saturday I watched “The Banshees of Inisherin” with Brendan Gleeson and Collin Farrel (among others of course). A really lovely film. Beautiful Irish island landscape and quirky original characters. I can highly recommend this movie. I tried watching it in original language but switched to German to get all the jokes. Will watch it again in original now. Enjoying the original dialect very much.
@falko oh hui! This stand is super beautiful! Are you planning to print it?
Yes, I’m planning to. Had to order new filament as my current spool doesn’t have material left. I’ll start printing the eject mechanism today and probably with the rest later this evening when the new filament has arrived.
@falko, good luck! I'm very curious how it will look, especially the surfaces. Do you have to work over them after the print?
For my taste the surfaces are usually fine. Yes, close-up you’d see the individual layers, but under usual circumstances you don’t notice them. I don’t do any post-processing.
@falko @BarbNerdy first piece done at 0.2mm layer height.
@falko @BarbNerdy new filament spool loaded, bed calibrated and off we go …
@falko @BarbNerdy so far so good. I hope the tree support structure (the tree trunk can be seen as the round object in the front right already) will not break off mid-print.
