🙃 Due to last week’s ice storm this is the first day of school in a week. I’m not ready for the old morning routine.

Well good morning! After 4 days of freezing temps and all that this was a welcomed sight.

Printing with Amolen Wood Filament for the first time - it has a sweet woodsy smell.

❔ Random thought: does peanut butter taste good with cinnamon?

After 4 days of sub-freezing temps, sleet, freezing rain, snow and no school the temp has hit 50F today and the sun is out. Sure feels good! ☀️

Well public school just changed their mind and will be closed tomorrow, Friday. That makes 4 days in a row the ice has kept the kiddos home. But tomorrow will bring warmer temps in the afternoon and hopefully clear things up. Can’t wait to get out of the !&#)!% house even if it is just to get to a convenience store. 🏫 🧊

🥸 Living dangerously: pushing my Prusa3D print speed to 200%

🧊 Day 2 of being iced in. Not a fan.

The number 1 reason I have kicked aside a number of the Mastodon apps is they don’t sync/remember my place in the timeline. I want to always have my timeline where I left it and I want it to sync across devices/apps.

🎆 Good times, I can now use the app store version of status.log!

I printed this Raspberry Pi 4 case that mounts directly to the frame of my Prusa MK3S+. The case was really well designed and mounted to existing M3 holes in the frame perfectly. Printed using Hatchbox PETG. 👍🏼

🥘 Checking our food supply due to multiple days of icy roads

These days of sleet have placed me in danger - danger of ODing on espresso. ☕️

Sleet and rain started yesterday and school is canceled today. The ice continued falling overnight and is expected to do so on and off throughout Wednesday so I’m sure school will be canceled for at least one more day. We’re all wondering if our daughter’s shift this morning will be canceled. 🤔

Long overdue print of tool storage for my 3D printer area. Saves space and aggravation.

I have a series of storage bins planned but I’m waiting on a E3D 0.6mm nozzle to arrive (will save a lot of time).

🥶 Temperature is in the mid 20F this morning and likely to stay that way. Too damn cold.

I’m contemplating what to do with my first 3D printer. Don’t have the space to keep it around, nor the inclination to try to keep it functioning properly. It wouldn’t be worth enough to ship it anywhere.

Today I discovered the OctoPod app (iOS, tvOS) for use with . Excellent way to monitor 3D prints. The tvOS app is surprisingly useful. Easy to see the camera and can leave it on while I work yet quickly see if the print has gone awry. Also it has some good built in notifications.

The articulated shark turned out well, shown here attacking an octopus 🐙 My Prusa MK3S+ kit is cranking out all kinds of prints without a care in the world.

😃 This PRUSA 3D printer is a dream. Proud I built it successfully.

All Gummies have been consumed!

Prusa kit builders know what this means. I finished building my MK3S+ kit and it passed the self test right away. Here is the obligatory first logo print. The build was a challenge but a fair one. I’m so happy with my decision to switch. 😁😎

🤔 Planning to finish my 3D printer today and hopefully get it calibrated

I had thought I might finish putting the printer together today but ended up well short. I ran out of gas and decided to call a halt until tomorrow. Weekend build here I come!

🦾 Got our daughter’s old computer desk loaded into my Outback ready to drop it off at Salvation Army

Started assembling my 3D printer this evening. Hoping I have time to finish it tomorrow but probably won’t have time to do calibration.
