Something with a motor?
Mill a PCB? a brain circuit or PCB sculpture
Mylar? bending? enclosure is the thing!
Learn wood working
Make wood guy
Use the router or lathe
Re-do old projects, Lungs specifically
3D modeling
A project to learn Blender with
Do something with my 3D scans?

Many iterations needed
Feels like a cop-out
Don’t wanna
Pros:
Designed many PCBs, never made my own
Never made a PCB sculpture
Could add to my Thesis
Learn the Bantam Othermill (2-for-1)
Do something with my (botched) 3D scans of my loved ones
Cons:
For what?
Material cost? $$$?
Pros:
I could finally learn how to 3D print … Laguardia Studios anyone?!
I could learn to use Blender maybe?
Physical artifacts of people I love
