ATC Flight Progress Strip System

<p><i>Update 2021-04-13: Strip holders are now flatter and less prone to falling down in cascades, new “super” base that holds reserve paper strips, “small” strip size (which is now my preferred size).</i></p><p>Inspired by things like this one: https://www.airforcemedicine.af.mil/News/Photos/igphoto/2001679725/</p><p>Treat your tasks like an air traffic controller (ATC):</p><ul><li>Write your tasks at work or at home on a paper strip</li><li>Clip the paper into a plastic strip holder and put it on the top of all the tasks</li><li>Rearrange strips based on priority, treating them from the bottom up</li></ul><p>You need the following lengths of 7.5mm alumin(i)um rods (hollow or solid) to assemble this:</p><ul><li>2x roughly 30cm (depends on how many strips you want to be able to fit in at one time</li><li>2x roughly 25cm for the base</li></ul><p>The regular base includes a shelf to put in utensils, the “super” version holds all three sizes of paper strips.</p><p>Everything fits on a Prusa Mini bed (180 mm x 180 mm), the whole stand can be assembled into one single print. Use either the 60 degrees front base piece or the 45 degrees version, I prefer the latter since the strips don't fall out as easily. The photos show the 60 degrees version.</p>
