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!

Rather fond of the dawn sky

A wild unicorn appeared!

I printed this Spiderman themed headphone stand for our son who is a big fan. I surprised him with it and he was delighted. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4753064

Look at those clouds!

Yeah, I couldn’t see any either. We’re having one of those severe clear winter days and it is glorious.

This 3D print has diagonal lines running toward the bottom right and bottom left off of the "center piece". It seems to be a slicer artifact but ?

I 3D printed this vase design for my wife using Eryone silk PLA. It has a nice silver shimmer to it and Cura’s seam hiding worked well.

I’m not sure why but I really like the design on this nengajo (Japanese New Year’s card). And I appreciate the get well message. Yuka’s been a good friend for many years.

This is my first articulated model. Pretty happy with it. It looks good, has a nice rattle when it shakes its tail, and feels durable.

I printed this nifty, compact, case to hold SD cards, adapters and micro SD cards. Not perfect but it will do the job.

I think I finally have PETG setup halfway decent. I like the way this baby Groot turned out.

My first attempt at a PETG print was the ubiquitous Benchy. Turned out decent even before cleaning it up. I have yet to print anything tall. I need to look for something interesting.

After having success with a number functional 3D prints I decided to try my first figure. Overall it turned out OK but baby Groot’s left arm is partly missing and replaced with spaghetti. Trying to figure out what went wrong. For now we call it a combat injury.

It was not a bad morning

My first ever 3D printed model, the classic Benchy. I think it turned out great. Now to try some more ambitious prints.

TIL about wttr.in which can display current weather and forecast data in a terminal window. E.g. "curl wttr.in". Supports a ton of options. Refer to github.com/chubin/wttr.in.

It was a dreary day but the yellow leaves on this tree really stood out.

Really liked the clouds this morning only slightly marred by road construction.

Ground is more heavily covered in leaves this morning. Tomorrow’s low will be 40F less than today’s high with a storm expected so I expect a substantial increase soon. It’s fun kicking through them.

I got the newest Apple TV w/thread support replacing a prior gen. They weren’t lying about performance. The Ethernet port delivers on nearly the full gigabit of our fiber to the home. Of course it won’t ever use that speed watching videos. ½

Someone made some mischief last night place a cone on a conical trail sign.

It’s an orange traffic cone on top the sign.
