It started with labeling my vials...

Unfortunately, that only gets handed out once you've retired.

On the flip side, I adore my Nimbot, but my issue runs the other way — I keep struggling to come up with enough stuff to label. Perhaps I'm simply less OCD than I believed.

I'm right there with you, and I haven't given that thing a moment's peace.
Mine has been in my hands for roughly 7 days, and I'd guess I've crossed the 100-hour mark already. At the beginning, I was mostly creating things for the device itself. These days, my attention has shifted to peptide-related projects.

I'm looking for colored labels that can withstand water.💦

Perhaps inkjet labels plus a bit of scotch tape would work best.
Specialty blank labels made for beauty products are another option worth looking into. They cost more than the usual labels, but back when I was producing liquid hair and body products, they survived drips and bathroom steam really well.

What's the reason you need waterproof labels, if I may ask? Are you pinning in the pool? 🏖️😆

Are those still being manufactured?

I'm not sure, though AI is definitely capable of producing a very believable picture. 😎
Ahhh! You got us!!! (Glad for it, cuz I was thinking maybe your GHK-Cu was under filled given the color.) Good one!!
Hold on, seriously?…exactly how many hobbies involving science projects are you juggling?? 👍 😎
Oh Flash… the autism in me sends hyperfixations into deep territory, while the ADHD keeps them feeling new and fresh! My brain certainly has an expensive way of doing things 🤣 and yet, oddly, I'm frugal in a Sméagol-like way and can't let go of hobbies from the past. Take the DJ digital mixer I still have in cellophane, plus another analog mixer sitting under dust — why do I keep them?

My estate sale will be epic!
lol! When it comes to all your hobbies, what's your organizing method? Do you go alphabetical, chronological, or dollar-weighted averaging?…and I bet every last one is labeled correctly! 👍
A few of my things — typically the more expensive hobby equipment or the little items — get lined up tidily, every corner squared off, kept together with similar items. Much like my books, I usually sort them by subject and then according to how often I reach for them or how pleasing the arrangement looks.

The rest end up in a chaos heap that seems to have taken on a mind of its own! (That’s a job for next week…or the one after 🤣) As with everything in my life, it’s a mix of everything and nothing!

You’ve got plenty of hobbies as well — what’s your method for keeping them in order? A top watch keeping watch over the top machine gun? 🤣
Are all your hobby supplies labeled by now?

When vials come out of the fridge, water vapor forms on their exterior. Your fingers then smear the water-soluble ink as it runs. Nimbot-style printers use thermal printing, so that problem doesn't occur—though I have seen oil remove the "ink". I plan to test scotch tape together with inkjet ink and observe the result.

Haha!...alright, I actually laughed out loud at that....So the stereo equipment just stays put where it belongs...There was a time I owned a rack filled with random 100lb power amps plus a few mismatched pairs of old JBL speakers, but I got rid of every one of them...Watches are no trouble...$$$ in watches fit neatly inside a tiny drawer (not a single one has a label... 😎 ...and I'm down to owning only 1 machine gun...Prices for legally registered machine guns went through the roof, so I sold off everything else. Something that cost me $2.5k-5k 25 years back might now go for $50k or higher. The money aspect sort of killed the hobby.....I've got a collection of 1,400 music CDs sitting on a bedroom shelf inside 20 long boxes. Every one of them is ripped onto a music server, which took me quite a while to sort out the right way, so at least there's that...😎

Not exactly; a few will definitely be labeled, though just the ones sitting in boxes that are tough to identify. Dropping hundreds in a GB doesn't bother me at all, yet this strange cheap streak kicks in like "don't burn through those labels! They're only fractions of a cent apiece!!! 🤣

That level of commitment impresses me! The area where I'm terrible at staying organized is computer files, and I'm not sure I've got the patience to convert every CD I own into files. On top of that, I'd likely have to get a CD drive. Back when Napster was around, I had this down cold, but ever since laptops stopped including disc drives—spill a little out 🥃—I've been letting it slide. So roughly 10 years or more of letting it slide. 🤣

Anyone else in the same boat? My niimbot m2 arrived just 2 days ago, and I've already burned way too much time messing around with it.

First it was my vials getting labels. After that I glanced at my fridge and thought, “Hold on… every one of these opened food containers could be labeled too.”

Next thing I knew, I was eyeing my cluttered cabinets, my bookshelf, and even where my cat's food is kept… and suddenly it felt like everything needed a label 😂

Turns out when you finally have some free time, you can find a million random things to organize.
My situation could be even more extreme. After making labels and sticking them onto vials, I revised those labels, removed the originals, and applied replacements. Pure insanity.

Now that I own a 3d printer, my fixation with it has gotten even more intense!

Ain't that the truth. I can't keep straight what day it even is, and my to-do list keeps growing. One thing's certain, I'm past 45. I've been hanging those Govee lights I bought during Prime Days. Putting them up when it feels like 106* is a real blast. I do two 16' strings per day, then head inside to cool off.

I've pulled out my case many times, stuffed with labeled vials, to add the cap labels, and I've never had a problem using my Niimbot 110 and Nelko P21 labels. These days I label them as soon as the kits arrive.

I've labeled roughly 180 vials so far, covering both the sides and the caps. Another 120 still need to be done. For the white round cap labels, I'm using a Niimbot 110, while a Nelko P21 handles the vial labels.
In a different labels thread, I think somebody mentioned that Niimbot had stopped selling the small round labels. Was that wrong?

Not me. What I said was that you need to order them straight from Niimbot and play along with their game. I might have mentioned that Amazon doesn't stock them.

Pick up some sticker paper like this. Put it in an inkjet printer. And just like that! I rely on it for my Etsy shop to make labels that stay legible even when they get wet.

I've labeled roughly 180 vials so far, covering both the sides and the caps. Another 120 still need to be done. For the white round cap labels, I'm using a Niimbot 110, while a Nelko P21 handles the vial labels.
In a different labels thread, I think somebody mentioned that Niimbot had stopped selling the small round labels. Was that wrong?
Actually no — take a look at this: https://niimbots.com/collections/la...-d11-d110?ref=itxzwwjo&variant=43780021911788
Ohhh, thank you so much!

A few days back, a Phomeno label maker arrived at my place. I'd sworn to myself "no label makers!" since a basic Brother unit already sits here, which I use for plain text on slim label tape. LOL, seeing everyone's excitement over the Niimbot designs wore me down!

AND I'M OBSESSED! I haven't gone as wild as you have, but inserting icons, adding two or more lines of text, and using pretty colored and round labels is something I really enjoy. These days every cartridge of mine carries an instruction/info label, which is fantastic because my stack keeps growing and I can't recall all the doses.

Have you dealt with your wire/cables/cords bin yet? You know, the one everybody owns and then has to work out "What's this cord go to?" A few strays here are getting labels today!
Obviously not! Every single cable in my house is getting the niimbot treatment—none can avoid it
