Hey folks,

I had some downtime at work, and we had a bunch of extra scraps in the teacher's workroom, so I decided to cobble together a hard copy of the Cogmind manual.

After spending WAY too much time trying to figure out how the hell to duplex print on my crappy in-classroom printer, I managed to cram my scrap paper and cardstock through the poor thing.

The paper cutter in the workroom is really dull, so it's ugly. I used duct tape and staples to properly bind it so that it opens and folds flat properly.

The rear cover has a collection of quick-reference things like hotkeys.

It's ugly but it turned out to be super useful. I had one of my better runs, and being able to hold open a page and flip around is super useful.

Nice! Thanks for sharing, I like how it's marked "User Manual" :)

And maybe the "clearly put together from multiple parts" aesthetic is appropriate here!

(forum tip: you can insert a "width" parameter when linking to images, e.g. [img width=900] to specify the width you want it to appear as in the thread without affecting the image itself (people can still open it at full size if they want))
