Excellent use of 3D printer to make, um, HDMI to garden hose adapter

I gotta get me a 3D printer. My son in law is a graphic engineer, he has a couple printers and I’m sure he’d like nothing more than to teach me how to use one.

It does seem our plants prefer regular HD water to 4K water.

We’re almost there.

That looks like it just might fit in a NEMA 6-30 socket (240V 30A). ETA: it would connect to both live pins, getting the full 240V as well.

Obligatory nerd note: 240V in the US is split-phase, with two 120V live conductors 180° out of phase supplied by a center-tapped transformer.
