A new print & play card game was released last month called "To the Moon: Bestest Memories" based on one of my favorite game series. I had some extra time and mprint credit, so I told myself why not. I printed out the double sided cards on a color printer which used $5.64 of print credit, including test pages. Students get $24 per term.

I also 3D printed a box for the cards to go in, as they are just paper and could easily be damaged. I got this box from Printables looking for a simple vertical box. https://www.printables.com/model/567250-simple-card-box

Additionally, while I was at the design lab, I took 20 minutes to print these two controller stick locks.

The idea is to protect joysticks when traveling with a controller or console by not letting them move.

I got the print file from printables: https://www.printables.com/model/18334-nintendo-switch-stick-lockprotector using the pro controller version vertically scaled after measuring my controller's stick height.

This model was made to prevent Nintendo Switch controllers from getting stick drift during travel.
