Big brother is always watching... I am really sorry for what you are going through. Dementia is difficult for everyone, and being far away just complicates things even further. Yes, the Visa my in-laws applied for was via an Expression of Interest. They basically filled out a series of forms to express interest in relocating to NZ permanently. Each year, they select 2,500 applicants from the pool of interested parties, and then you get a few months (i think it was 4) to submit all your documents and obtain medical clearance. Then if successful, they are issued a 10 year permanent resident visa, but theoretically, after 5 years they can apply for full citizenship. The EOI took 2 years to be selected (at the end of the two years, they remove your name from the pool, so we just scraped through) and then the actual visa processing can take up to 17 months. https://www.immigration.govt.nz/visas/parent-resident-visa/ Not sure how the medical might impact your situation. Ironically, my in-laws came over for december and my wife and her mom had another huge fallout - my MIL is an absolute piece of work, and now she is refusing to move over. What a waste of time and money. I paid $5,800 for that visa.

Yeah. We did think of that. But ideally we want a few different sizes.

Special thanks to @hansolo for sending me the files. I have printed it and will ask wifey to test it this weekend. After printing it, she came into my office and looked at it rather puzzled and then started laughing. We then realised this looks a lot like an adult toy.

Omg. I am so sorry Denise. These hub aliases have me all confused. Luckily my hub alias is easy to associate with my real name. 😂 I will edit the original post, but the sentiment is the same. You are an Angel.

arrrggghhh - doing my head in with this design! Can someone please come to my rescue! My wife does a lot of pottery but has recently hurt her hand and found a device that assists people with centering clay on the wheel. I want to print multiples in different sizes but need a single STL file to begin with and I have no idea on how to do this. Is anyone keen to give me a hand (pardon the pun) to create the STL? Here is an image of what I want to create

Hey @DJR - Here are a few more from some recent foraging.

Yes, part of the MYcena family. Given NZ is pretty cool and wet most of the time, its a fungi hunters paradise! I am totally obsessed with taking macro photos of them all. Will share a few more...

My in laws have just been selected for the Parent Visa Category. Might be time to move on from NZ LOL.

Bambulab for the win! Great advice here.

My in laws have just recently retired and are planning spending 6 months touring NZ. I am contemplating either kitting out a vehicle with rooftop tents, awnings etc, or buying a Jayco Swan Outback camper trailer and letting them loose. Dont know if I can handle six months of house guests Anyone on this thread into this sort of thing?

This is amazing. Did you design this yourself?
