More evidence for the hypothesis that my life is a bad sitcom.
Dang, this partly why I need a relatively empty and wide working area any time I'm working on hardware (even taking apart a Wii remote, which is relatively simple in the grand scheme of electronics).
I recently bought a magnetic iFixit mat, so hopefully I'll be reducing the likelihood of loosing the magnetizable metal bits from Tangara - when I'm ready to perform a full disassembly to satisfy my Andrew "bunnie" Huang-esque curiosity.

Would people want to print their own plastic bits or should I print plastic bits?
I think in the future I'd be interested in printing my own plastic components of Tangarine, but for now I'll need to rely on you to print the plastic parts.
