I am not the bravest person when it comes so socializing, so I am not very forum-savvy. However, I am a nerd who loves to learn and I am going to do my best to share what I learn just in case it helps you all. ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
Interesting read! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing! I will check if my library has it!
As far as I know (I have never 3D printed), yes. I vaguely remember a guy who tows around a 3D printer on his bike into parks, and prints parts for people. It wouldn’t be instant(I’m guessing they tell the person to come back later), but it is possible. I’ll try to find the video haha.
Keeping in mind I’ve never 3D printed, here are some sites that look promising.
https://www.traceparts.com/en https://grabcad.com/library
Also, I’ve seen tutorials for 3D printing on Instructables, and people sometimes give download files in the instructions.
This one doesn’t list all of them, but it has some: https://www.repaircafe.org/en/visit/
This site might help with planning!
It looks like there are some! https://www.repaircafe.org/en/visit/
They go off of who volunteers. For example, if a person who specializes in fixing stand mixers volunteers, that will be one of the tables people can visit. That repair person brings the parts (for example, there are a few parts in stand mixers that tend to break, so the repair person would know to bring fixes for those). I have also heard of repair cafe’s elsewhere even bringing in 3D printers to help with part replacement.
Here is the text from a recent one in my town:

I edited it to add the video! Sorry about that! I posted it on my phone, and thought it worked, but it didn’t.
Ah! You’re right, sorry! I posted it on mobile and thought it worked, but I was wrong. Thanks again!
Thanks for the info! I will try to research those
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Interesting! I had not thought about that being a possibility. If it wasn’t so expensive, it would be so nice to have glass that could slide open in the summer, but close for the winter and bad weather.
(I don’t know if it helps, but even though Atrium was another word for courtyard, people here typically use it to mean a courtyard covered in glass)
If you can find it I will absolutely link it! No need to stress if you can’t, though
Good points!
You’re absolutely right about courtyards! I’ve read about them being used all over the world! For example, in China, they are called(in English) “Skywells”. The other thing I like about courtyards is that they can give kids a safer space to play, or even just a little greenery.
Would you mind if I edit my post to add your ideas to the list with credit to you?
Those are all absolutely wonderful ideas!! Would you mind if I edited my post and added them to the list with credit to you?
Maybe it’s a “where you live” type thing. 🤔 I know my neighbours(luckily, I don’t have an Alex haha), but I live in a small town where you’re rude if you don’t say hello to strangers you’re walking by.
HOWEVER, most my friends and family who live in the city(mostly in lower-income apartments) don’t. The only city person I can think of who knows her neighbours is my aunt, who has lived in her house for longer than I’ve been alive.
So it could be a mix of culture, housing type, how long you’ve been there, and so on. Maybe Canadian cold winters plays a part, too. 😂
Woah! I have never heard of it being used like that! Thanks for sharing
Oh, sorry! I will edit the post and add the video credit
Haha agreed! I often have “why did we stop doing this” thoughts.
I think you’ll also find Transom windows interesting, as well as Qanats paired with wind towers. 🙂
I like the idea of a wicker basket coffin with natural-fiber clothes…and an added sword just to confuse future archaeologists •ˋᴗˊ•
