    As cory said, that's the daddy of the one I have. Couple of upgraded things but essentially the same.

    I printed that same filament guide but still didn't like the angle it goes in at because it started to wear a groove into the extruder housing. I printed one of these to move the filament roll to the side. It's immensely better now:

    Forty-five seconds into the video on that link shows the same thing I experienced.

    Agreed. The library on campus has a maker space and will print things for you but after crunching some numbers, for the things I wanted printed, it ended up being cheaper to just buy my own. :laugh:

    I will get a video of it once it’s up and going. Waiting on some pieces that were shipped separately.

    I’m not sure on the printable area. I will find a model number on it tomorrow. Didn’t even know we were getting this, it just showed up on Friday. I think this one ran somewhere in the 6-7k price range tho.

    There is at least one person selling them on etsy for either $80 or $100. I can't remember if they called them baby Yoda or if they are teddy bears with optional bunny ears like the pattern my wife bought. :laugh:

    She did contemplate making and selling them but then it would go from an enjoyable pastime to having to do them for customers and she didn't want to take the fun out of it. Her niece is getting the first one once she finishes it.

    Make them all first, then sell them, take the money and disappear

    New poll.

    We used to always go to a large tractor show and camp all week the 4th of July week. They had a bath house with numerous showers.

    One night I went and there was a line. Had no idea but my brother was already in the shower. He has always been really hairy, he had a beard in middle school. Maybe it was high school. He had a beard early on.

    He comes out with no shirt on. None of the people I’m in line with know that we’re brothers, don’t even know we know each other.

    He walks by and I say “dude, put a shirt on”.

    He responds “Sasquatch takes pictures of me”.

    Nothing else was said. I was laughing like crazy on the inside.

    My oldest son's like that (gets it from his mom's side). Summertime, I'm always telling him to "take that damn sweater off!":D

    I've had a moustache and goatee for the last 15 years. I'd go with a full beard but my cheeks grow too slow and patchy for that. I keep telling myself that I'll keep them shaved but I can, and do, go 2 weeks without shaving or trimming. :laugh:
