Mosquito devices

just bad and unsafe honestly mostly for young people, and especially for people with sensory processing issues or sensitivities this device is damaging

connection to enabling people to spend more time in liminal spaces as spaces of sociality (Angelikki's research and walk)
prototyping the 3D case and mechanism

add sketches of the manual drawings

add photos of breaking up an old speaker (which later needed to be resoldered and resoldered and resoldered)

broken second-hand bluetooth speaker
which I got on marktplaatz
and broke open with a hammer to get the parts

buying it from a Ukranian lady on Marktplaatz

Collecting the audio, phasing and reversing it

almost falling off my bike because of how loud it is in the residential area in Coolhaven

3D printing at .zip with Louisa

Tinkercad was really nice to work with, I was surprised to see that a collaborative 3D tool of this quality was available for free. [1] I worked on this link but now it is no longer available.

Louisa's guidance was really helpful and motivating for doing this project to begin with, but also just for the execution.

Example work from .zip, which Louisa showed me so I could see how it prints text

It was super useful to know that you can 3D print nuts and bolts and find already made models that tinkercad offers. Though, in my case the printed bolt wasn't strong enough, so I ended up screwing in a metal screw that broke the connecting structure which was supposed to keep it together and I found a way to fix it with a metal nut that didn't rely on the 3D printed element.
I was quite blessed to be able to work with .zip's filaments, as they have such a wide array of colours and some semi-transparent filaments.

Why this name, design, portability, hand held

to be a fly on the wall, to be allowed to loiter anonymously, take up space in the city

wanting the design to be cute, almost like a toy, so that if it actually works, if security stops you, they would never think that this device could be the cause of the mosquito not being audible anymore
