Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

yesterday, the radio station i was listening to out of either ottowa or anchorage(i was jumping around in radio.garden trying to keep to work-music to keep me motivated. christmas music is not motivating) had the story of the tradition of how an angel ended up on top of the christmas tree. so i found it online for those that haven't heard it.

 

I read that to Mrs Green, she said "That's awful!!"

.

Personally I think "that's awesome!!"

 

Merry Christmas!

Only a few more days till I can start lighting the firework stash that's been accumulating since last summer!

 

Took a stab a machining mechanical watch movement!!! Also having fun with my 3D printer

 

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. It's back to work tomorrow for me. My kiddo has already mastered all her new electronics haha. I'm just excited to build this..

 

which printer did you get?

my next major tool purchase is definitely going to be one.. currently leaning towards the bambu x1c only so i can do whatever filament type i want.. i need lots of brackets...

 

Bambu X1C. It’s absolutely fantastic. Best 3D Printer I’ve owned. I’m going on just over a year of ownership on it. No problem whatsoever. The AI failure detection is on point.

 

was that a recent-ish update? at least a few video reviews i watched said that the ai either didn't work, or wasn't fully released yet. that wasn't a major selling point for me, i'm mostly interested in the rest of the upgrades for the enclosed build area, and the increased capabilities from the hardened hot end. and not not feeling like i cheaped out on a lesser version...

have you tried any of the alternative build plates? a coworker got the p1s a few months ago, and the textured plate has amazing results, though he also likes doing things on the prismatic carbon fiber plate as well

 

I’ve only noticed the AI failure detection maybe 4 times in the last 4 months. And actually the 4th time was this afternoon. But compared to my ender and my snapmaker, failures are rare.

I’m on my original hot end still.

haven’t tried any other build plated yet, but I need to. I just bought some TPU filament and PETG HF to play around with.
I’m hoping the TPU worked will with making custom shaped o-rings and gaskets .

 

Save on energy bill too, enviromentalists will love this!

 

And just like that, you won’t hear another Christmas song until next Halloween…

Happy Day After Christmas. I hope everyone made it through ok

 

Morning all have a great day

 

Good day after Christmas, friends! Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful Thursday as well

 

That is so cool, what size end mill did you use?

 

Good morning shop men and ladies, hope everyone had a great Christmas Day.
Have a great and blessed today.

 

Mornin’ Gents, Celebrating my annual “I don’t have to be anywhere” day.

 

Good morning shop crew. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Happy Hanukkah and Kwanza today keep the celebrations going!

 

1/8” and 1/16 endmills and a 0.05” drill.
I still need to go smaller. This was just a spur of the moment test run.

 

Well manly men, we made it!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Spoiler

Now let's put that nonsense behind us and get back to normal.

 

Well my bandsaw part is on a tour of the USA it seems...its now in Los Angeles....
