I'm outta here.....if anyone is inclined, you can find me pretty easily in other places. Same name.

Trying to decide if Twitter is worth my time. I'm trying to examine how I spend my limited time and pick the things that have value.
It's a struggle to see value in tiny messages like this.
How do you feel about this place?
Soooo.... apparently there are only 24hrs in a day. This doesn't match well with my long list of hopes and dreams.
@DocBrownLloyd any suggestions on how I can gain some time?
Klipper for 3D printers running on an PC platform..... what is the best way to connect accelerometer for input shaping?
I saw some USB boards but it seems like the cable would kill accuracy.
I have flown (and piloted) so many aircraft for 40+ years. Each flight still fascinates me. 500mph at 35,000ft in total comfort. It still feels so new.....so fun.
Project graveyard. It's time to purge, re-group, and find new challenges.
This goes into my archives.
This is solid gold.
.@elonmusk have you tried turning it off and turning it back on?
Failed 3D print = 'I need upgrades!' = 'I probably need a backup printer' = 'I NEED a faster printer' = 'May as well just dedicate a whole room to 3D printing'
#3DprintingIsCrack
Subtractive manufacturing. 300 extremely precise metal parts per day.
Additive manufacturing offers 4 rough plastic parts per day 馃槀馃ぃ
My first week with a 3D printer has taught me a lesson: They are more addictive than crack.
It has been running around the clock and I am already looking at buying/building a couple more.
Maybe a Voron 2.4?
Finally joined the 3D printing community. After designing a bunch of assembly tools to be CNC machined from aluminum, I realized 3D printing would work even better and cost a tiny fraction of $. First day paid for the printer. It's a cheap one...but does the job. I'm hooked.
This looks peaceful but about a minute later an F15 Eagle was blasting through below the ridgeline. Pulling hard G's to get around the corner without staining the side of the mountain. I was WAY too slow to get a photo.
I escaped the Factory400 dungeon to see a show at the Hollywood Bowl. Pet Shop Boys and New Order create an amazing spectacle!
My last active prototyping tray. Everything else has been slowly migrating to hibernation.
I 鉂わ笍 electronics and hope the industry returns to a condition where a small player like me can make it work as a business.
