The printer has been busy but I am churning these out as fast as I can! Visit The National Parks 3D Prints Page for more information.

Where to Get STLs

Have your own 3D printer, a friend with one, or even your local library? You are in luck! I am making the STLs for these available via Printables and Thingaverse so that anyone can print these out on their own.

Well 2025 is definitely a good year for Maple Syrup! Seven and a half gallons and unless the weather changes drastically it is looking like the next week plus will produce a lot more sap!

A Maple Syrup Hydrometer is an absolute must have when boiling your sap down to syrup! It has two lines on it, one for when doing a "hot test" and the other for a "cold test" and chances are you will be using it for hot syrup rather than cold. When syrup is hot it is less dense and therefore the hydrometer sinks deeper into it. Although I do test my syrup once it cools down just to verify!

Eggs are fragile and easily broken if stored in a cooler using the carton they were purchased with. At less than $4.00 at Amazon its definitely a good idea, especially with the price of eggs recently!

33 Quart Canner at Amazon.

For those who are serious about canning you will need one of these!

At 33 quarts this canner can hold nine (9) one quart jars! May sound like a bit of over kill but when you have three to four gallons of syrup to can you will thank me!
