Big news at our local Japanese grocery store. Their small section of gashapon machines is greatly expanding starting tomorrow. Our 19 year old daughter is gonna love this. 🇯🇵

My workout buddy is cooler than yours!

Our friendly neighborhood armadillo briefly paced me trotting between the path and fence before ducking out on me. Slacker 😉

Thanks @ericschabell for the cool Chronosphere swag. That’s a great looking T-Shirt and I already have plans for the stickers. 🍻

MTTR != WTTR

Before and after photos of a simple print using Prusament Clear PETG. The one on the left is a total mess and on the right is in good shape. The difference? Drying the filament for a couple of hours. Note it was stored in a vacuum sealed bag with desiccant which obviously wasn’t good enough.

😃 ☕️ ➕ 🍩

I’ll have to give that a try!

The weather was great today: bright sun, moderate temps and light wind. It triggered some sort of turbo mode and a printed a whole new set of gridfinity bins for my metric hardware and cleaned out and re-organized a garage storage cabinet. Feeling powerful. Probably going to crash after dinner though!

Hmm. Woke up this morning and noticed my backyard Eve Weather was offline. Changed the battery which didn’t help. Then noticed my Eve air quality sensor was offline too. And my Schlage front door lock which triggered my brain to realize these are all thread enabled. Rebooted the AppleTV hub and all is well.

Back to my coffee.☕️

I just love this infill pattern

I appreciate the people who don’t post sporting event spoilers…

🤪 Gonna workout. But first coffee ☕️🏃

I wonder if there are any anime artists on here?

🚗 Bucees run complete. Snacks in da house!

Does anyone have a multi-color filament (PLA I suppose) they’re particular fond of for figures, decor and such?

A female cardinal in our backyard is intent on fighting her competition every day this week. Unfortunately the competition is invincible.

More signs of spring! The Texas redbuds are lovely when they burst into bloom but sadly only last a week or so. The rest of the year they’re scrawny.

Posted later due to DDOS

Today I decided to cannibalize the Sovol printer I bought last year. Such a piece of crap. Hopefully I can make use of some of the parts.

🌩️ Ah with March comes spring and with spring comes tornado sirens (twice tonight, so far)

💦 Things were quiet on the 3D printing front. Suddenly I’ve got a backlog of prints for the family and me.

@jmj I remember when I first saw mention of the status.log app. I wondered if it was something we really needed. The answer has been a big fat yes. It delivers such delightful content in most satisfying way. Thank you for pursuing it.

Spring has sprung

TIL that typing Command + period on the iPad keyboard sends an ESC (since the magic keyboards lacks a physical key).⌨️

I think I’ll give DirecTV streaming a try this weekend. YouTubeTV is such a mess and the PQ is often crap.📺

🍺 Did a bit better getting back into my exercise routine. But more to do. Meanwhile having a Shiner.

I have Home Assistant running on a Pi4. Looks interesting but there are wrinkles to iron out. It looks like it might be useful. The main question in my mind is once set up will it work without fiddling or will it be a needy child.
