Add a bottle of baby oil and a Savage Garden CD and you're all squared away for foreplay fridays.my first multi day print. Did the entire pulse rifle in one go, took an entire roll of filament.

How did you print that all in one go? Sorry if you've already posted what you have in here.
Ahhhh, that makes a lot more sense...including being nervous about long prints and not wanting to do them all at once. I went straight for 14-20 hour prints on my 3D printer because all I was really using it for was making maps and I didn't know how to hollow them out at first. So most of them were around 14 hours. Fucking sucks when you have a clog or run out of a filament part way through.I found this file on Thingiverse: Mandalorian+Rifle+Ender3_Bed Complete by t4nk_jw
Someone sliced it down into component parts and arranged it tightly to the bed so it could all fit on at once. This was my first time having the balls to try that big of a print. So far I have been doing one piece at a time, that way if things get hosed I don't lose too much material.
I absolutely love this thing so far. I wish you guys could see how well those boxes fit together. I used a rubber mallet to pound them together and they fit perfectly. Very tight friction fit. I made a big one for my daughter to put some toys in and engraved a picture of her into the top of it. She's been standing & sitting on it, throwing it around the house and abusing it all day yesterday. Still perfectly held together and no breaks or cracks.Man that glow forge looks sweet...very tempting
That's awesome, but I'm becoming more and more of a nutjob conspiracy theorist the more I see nowadays and I'm increasingly uncomfortable with stuff like this because I see it replacing our current supply chains, but they're all still being built with a component that requires some form of gatekeeping.Fucking awesome.

The FAA is considering making always-online a requirement for drones as part of the Remote ID initiative, my drone manufacturers have forced geofencing technology now that will prevent the drone from operating if you don't pre-authorize some flights through them (a chinese company, and we've already been authorized by the FAA), companies like twitter and google are intentionally censoring "public" conversation, search results, trending, etc.
What happens when something like this replaces Walmart and has a digital storefront that you order stuff through? The existing systems of distribution collapse and we're left with a centralized network that has one OFF switch and a generation that won't even be able to comprehend how goods were manufactured and dispersed prior to this tech. Want to print more plastic straws before your superbowl party? Sorry, straws are no longer available because 3D_company_01 CEO saw a picture of a turtle with a straw sticking out of it's eye. Critical of the current administration's immigration plan? Sorry Nazi, you have been banned from the digital marketplace and can no longer print your meals or clothes. Good luck digging for tubers, racist.
This stuff is being celebrated as a tool to put the power of creation in the hands of individuals and I think that's true right now, but the more I see of technology the more convinced I am that it's a guaranteed path to a dystopian future because it removes physical barriers from everyone, malicious actors included. A small group of people with malicious intent have never had so many tools at their disposal to amplify their efforts. Anyone else getting 16 robocalls a day that start off with "CONGRATULATIONS From Marriott Hotels!"? Hundreds of thousands of outgoing scam calls every day, all coming from a few people.
Efficiency multiplier tools + a civilization becoming more and more tolerant of predators & criminals = fucking nightmare.
Tuco - Not something I've tried to write out before, but I've had the thought for awhile now. Curious if you feel the same.

Fucking awesome.
I just made this for my sister's birthday. Thays her company logo on top. My first attempt at getting fancy. Going to put some stain on it tomorrow.

Plywood from hobby lobby. I did the whole thing out of walnut two times before giving up. Walnut kept cracking at the rounded ends, even after using a hairdryer and steaming it.That's fantastic. What is it made of? It looks like wood.
