RE: Hotel nights--if you have the spending coming up anyway, the credit cards that offer a free night each year for the anniversary/annual fee can be a good deal. And, you and Mrs. Cheapskate can each get a card AND you can hold a business & personal card.
Marriott and IHG (Holiday Inn, Crown Plaza) both have cards that accrue a free night each year for the annual fee. (Some restrictions depending on which level card but I think you can add points to the free night certificate too) I use one Marriott night every year on the way home from Europe at the Schiphol Sheraton at Amsterdam airport (normally 220 euros+) and another each year during a launch weekend at Kennedy Space Center at the Courtyard Titusville Kennedy Space Center (150-200 per night). If there's a night launch, there's a rooftop bar there that's a great vantage point. I get good value out of those cards.
Still using the AnkerMake M5, which has proven pretty reliable. At one point I cranked out like 6 of those stands in a row, all without a lick of trouble.
Great question, but because I haven’t tried one of these myself, I don’t really know the answer. If you look at that page I linked to, there may be more information there.

Came here to say this. There's also Microsoft Lens if you're in that ecosystem.

Now that's some good cheapskatin' right there! :)
Great stuff as usual, Rick! Can you remind me which 3d printer you are using? I may have to ask Santa about that this year…. 😁

I love the idea of the air filter! Thank you! Does this mean every 3 to 6 months I'll need to buy another$55 3 filters? To replace used ones?

I will for sure read thank you for all the hard work Rick! And looking forward to you and Dave controlling some more universe
I'd go with a 20x20x5 one that should last most of a year. They run around $27
Cool! Thanks Scott!
I didn't see a charging cable or hole for one in the 3D stand. Is it meant for using with wireless charging pucks?
True, that particular one leaves no room for charging (unless you set your phone upside-down).
