Now that I have my new Catering Certificate, see this blog post, I’m scaling up the Honey Selling activities…first I purchased a ‘A Pavement board”, to replace my smaller Local Honey sign, and Lindsey kindly did the artwork. The artwork is Copyright (c) Andysworld! (well Lindseyworld!) 2015. So be warned anyone that downloads it, and uses it!

I’ve been trying to get this blogged for a while, so here goes…
Here are the Cluster of 3D Printers – Ultimaker 2, now networked…, and they’ve been breeding…
Cluster of 3D Printers - Ultimaker 2
There was a Health and Safety issues, with the use of PLA (Polylactic acid), which is the filament we use in these printers, which I believe is derived from corn starch. The health and saftey issue, is possibly due to ultra fine particles in the air, and it suggests using 3D printers with PLA, be used in a room with high ventilation, so the printers were banned, from being used in individual offices, and all moved to a print room, with a high air change rate, e.g. extractor fan in the window, changing the air in the room.
So now the 3D Printers, we in another room, we needed to find a method to print remotely via the network, and also check the print job!
Enter OctoPrint, this is a networked web interface for a 3D Printer, print anything from anywhere, and also has the ability for us to view the print job in process via a webcam (all from a Raspberry Pi).

So this is how we now print, unattended with a 3D printer, we are now working on the robot, which needs to remove the printed object, and walks down to my office to deliver it!
I spent three hours this weekend, obtaining a new Certificate.
I now have a Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering – Safe Food Handling.
This is my certificate
Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering - Safe Food Handling
This maybe a requirement in the future, for the preparation and selling jars of honey, but also now beneficial to have if you deal with food preparation and supply, as a food handler for human consumption.
I noticed several weeks ago, AmazonLockers were being installed on Campus.

So I’ve been waiting for an excuse to order a gadget from Amazon.co.uk, to try out this new AmazonLocker Experience.
My Dad has been reviewing and raving about these new bluetooth headphones he purchased from Amazon.co.uk, for £15.
They are called Soundpeats Qy7 Mini Lightweight Wireless Stereo Sports/running & Gym/exercise Bluetooth Earbuds Headphones Headsets W/microphone for Iphone 5s 5c 4s 4, Ipad 2 3 4 New Ipad, Ipod, Android, Samsung Galaxy, Smart Phones Bluetooth Devices (QY7, black/green). I’ll get him to review them, or I’ll quickly do a blog on them later.
I was discussing with my colleague this morning, about what time would my Amazon Delivery arrive, and I received a SMS Text message from Amazon with a code for the locker.
I quickly legged it over to the Student Union on Campus, to retrieve my parcel.
Entered the code into the keypad
As if by magic, a locker door springs open, revealing my parcel..

I quickly grabbed the parcel, closed the door, and returned to my office.
