   And the second print, which is also the first practical print. We have baby gates that go back to our first child, and when she had a child of her own, we put the gates back up. In short order, the plastic mounting brackets shattered. Those (20+ years old!) parts aren’t made any more, but someone had recreated them and posted a file, so I downloaded and printed two. The make-and-share internet is still there, and it warms my heart to partake of it.
