I was looking through my hackatime project settings for Astral OS, and I saw that I didn't add the wakatime dir which I used after. Anyway, I was supposed to have an extra 2 h on the other one.

I was looking online for a way to get the ESP32 to support Matter, and I found out that there was ESP-IDF and ESP-Matter. To use these repo's though, it took me 2 days to clone. After that, I was able to use the ESP Matter Tutorial, which guided me through a simple LED Example. I was then able to modify it to add more features, like a permenant pin and a temperature, brightness, hue/sat. Unfortunatly, I don't have the ESP32 to test it out so here is a quick screenshot of my code.

3D Modelling the Arctic Fox was hard, but I was able to do it. Unfortunatly, I forgot to add the USB C Port Cutout before submitting it, so I can't change it again. I used M2 Screws and M2x3mm Threads since I already have those. I took inspiration from this Sleeping Arctic Fox 3D Model from Printables, because it looked fairly accurate.

Making the Arctic Fox was pretty hard because I have never tried to make minecraft characters before. Ive made enclosures so that part was a breeze. I was able to finish the fox head. Oh, by the way, this project is a part of my school's art project where we 3D Print a Minecraft Character and Paint it. I decided to turn it into a lamp, so I needed to use thin layers of white PLA. Ive used 1mm, but 0.5mm could give a greater result. Ill report back once its printed.
