Sex does unblock nose though, it also reduces cough for a while. Maybe that research will formalize respiration exercises to be used to unblock the nose without resorting to medicine?

As for beard protecting face, heh, nope, not enough, been there done that. Though it did protect me from glass shards when a punk hit my windshield with brass knuckles. Between beard and glasses I managed to get away with only a couple of cuts.

After much amazon searching, I've just ordered the following "beginner's" 3D printer (with a couple of rolls of filament).

ELEGOO Neptune 2S New Upgrade Version Large FDM 3D Printer Fully Open Source Ultra-Quiet Printing with Resume Printing DIY 3D Printer Ideal for Beginners Printing Size 220x220x250mm: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific[^]

I've recently converted my breadboard prototype (rat's nest of wires)[^]
into a through-hole Printed Circuit Board (some components added)[^]
Just the board[^].
and I've built out the entire thing on new circuit board[^].

Now I want to build a product case for the device. I have no idea what I'm doing. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Nice work, the board looks good.

There are a lot of free CAD programs out there, it'll take longer to master them then the printer.

Good Luck!

Thanks so much. That is my first board and learning Kicad wasn't easy and I'm amazed I actually got it all together & working.

Yeah, I'm overwhelmed by it all already. But I gotta take a shot at it.
Any recommendations on "best" FREE CAD software?

Update: Right after posting I saw your #3D Printing article. Reading it now. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

AutoDesk offers a web based CAD tool. I've used it with my 3D printer. It's free for a moderately crippled version.

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
