Aside from making and exploring, I like to help people achieve their goals through creative problem-solving.

I've never de-thatched my lawn before. There was a LOT of dead grass that needed to come out. 5+ bags just for the backyard.

@reprinted3D @CanuckCreator "crash out with everyone" was a bit dramatic lol I think for me it is patterns of behavior. It was never lost on me that he welcomed you into his circle despite what people said about his views on certain topics. And it is not just one thing or event for me. Patterns like I said.

@CanuckCreator @reprinted3D No surprises there... that person crashes out with everyone eventually. Status quo really.

@MandicReally WalMart is basically filled with Product-as-a-Service items.

@IAMFireDragon3D Buying anything Prusa is not feasible in Canada. I think they fixed it, but previously, in addition to the above, you had to pay duties calculated when it arrived in Canada. Great filaments, but I stopped ordering from them years ago.

I've been meaning to share a pic of the notebook cover I got from Greg, and I still will. But for now I will simply say these are EXTREMELY well made. I was VERY impressed when mine was delivered. My only complaint is it doesn't come in black lol

[Greg's Maker Corner @greghuber]

Got a few more notebook covers I am trying to finish up. Just posted this one to eBay! This leather has some nice character.

These controls panels are a super fun little electronics project. I really enjoyed designing them, I'm excited to get them mounted on my office wall. Find STL's and links to the components on @Thangs3D.

If you’re on Windows, never, ever, ever, ever run a random EXE file from the internet.

@no1089 @amiedoubleD That is a tongue for hockey skates (for comfort). It is also called a puck, not a ball 😀

@ZombieHedgehog_ @UnraidOfficial I only have one parity drive that doesn't show in this list that is 20TB. My cache drives are 2 1TB nvme drives.

[Creative Bear @creative3dprint]

Was asked to print these for a local DnD group.

@greghuber I gave an old phone away recently; I did wipe it. When person I gave it to tried to set it up, it was sending me texts with codes. She picked the wrong option initially. That phone doesn’t show up in my devices. Was kind of weird. She eventually got it set up with her own account

This past week I had the honour of marrying @cyberPam95 in a place that means a lot to us, Jamaica. Best day of our lives!

Yes, 3D printed items helped with some of the decor 😎

@MandicReally I thought all Loctite threadlockers were engineered for metal. Still good to know. I guess this applies if you are using threaded inserts and there is a risk of contact with plastic?

[Uncle Jessy @UncleJessy4Real]

Hot Take

.3mf files suck

they are not universally usable between slicers and printers and I'm constantly loading / reloading files and at this point I'd rather just have an STL with basic settings outlined in the file description

[Creative Bear @creative3dprint]

This is my most reliable printer. To be fair it pushes less plastic than the big guys. But it has been so dependable, and it has saved my arse a few times *knocks on wood*

[Creative Bear @creative3dprint]

We have a completed chases. Just need to finish printing the body and remote. I guess I’ll find something else to work on while I wait for the printers to finish.

[Creative Bear @creative3dprint]

I know how I’m spending my day off work.

[Creative Bear @creative3dprint]

From the way it looks, you would think it would be hard to disassemble, but when you know how, it’s just a lot of screws. Not a lot of plastic clips or other stuff that usually breaks when you tear it down.

[Creative Bear @creative3dprint]

It is unfortunate that @OwlLabs doesn’t sell replacement parts. Their Meeting Owl would be easy to repair otherwise. Only the lens is broken on this one.

Could have been a 30 minute repair. Now it’s e-waste because it’s out of warranty.
