About knicholes
My current projects are a smart toilet paper roll holder that tells you how much TP you've got left and a breast augmentation outcomes visualization AI. More recently, I've built GopherGeyser, an at-home splash pad and animal-themed app. https://gophergeyser.com/

Right. KiCAD for PCB design. Blender for 3D CAD. Oh, are you saying I should have used something other than the KiCAD MCP server for better results?

I tried making a button using Claude entirely (including the 3D printed enclosure) and it effed up pretty hard with the traces and the header spacing. The project was a big red arc…

Oh yeah, I bought a few different types of ear plugs to test them out. The silicone putty and the loops left my ears sweaty. I'd pull them out at night to dry them out. Tmi, I know…
