Gardena Extensions

The Liquid Engineer – Issue No. 31

It’s fascinating to see completely new systems in 3D printing, like Gridfinity or Honeycomb Storage Wall. These systems understand the weak spots of 3D printing and find clever workarounds.

There’s also a big market to extend an existing system with inventions of varying usefulness. The Gardena water system is an interesting example. It’s easily accessible as the adapters have a good size and form for printing. The risk is low, the worst outcome is spilled water. The official accessories have high prices, creating demand for cheaper solutions.

It has a high WAF (wife acceptance factor), as your wife is probably also spending time in the garden, allowing you to show off your newest printed discovery.

One of the most popular projects in this space is a sprinkler with interchangeable nozzles. Depending on your need, you can choose the right adapter and with it the area to support with water. To my knowledge, an extension that Gardena does not offer officially – yet.

Ahh, renderings, the land where things never fall over.

What to Print this Week

A fountain, now that's something that Gardena should add to their official system immediately.

Escaping Groundhog Day with Agentic Coding

Escaping Groundhog Day with Agentic Coding The Liquid Engineer – Issue No. 42 I did a lot of coding and experiments with Claude Code in the past weeks. Once the initial thrill of the speed wears off, frustration kicks in. I felt like I was in the movie Groundhog Day. The excellent actor Bill Murray wakes up every day in a hostel on the exact same day. The world around him repeats and only he remembers yesterday. He’s stuck in an endless loop and has to experience the same day again and again....

What I Learned About Claude Code So Far

What I Learned About Claude Code So Far The Liquid Engineer – Issue No. 38 I’m still amazed at Claude Code’s performance in my codebase. Within days, I rewrote what took weeks before. Here’s what I learned in the last days: CLAUDE.md’s are important Where the README.md is targeted at humans getting up to speed with a project, the CLAUDE.md is the same for coding agents. This is my starting point, which tells Claude to update the Claude.md. After all, he’s the agent, so he should know best...
