Thank you @smartereveryday.bsky.social for making this video, it really tells the story of US manufacturing and difficulty we have bringing it back. youtu.be/3ZTGwcHQfLY?...

This has been such a long time coming. After moving into the building 7 years ago I finally get the room adjoining my robotics lab. Finally a clean space to teach code and 3D print in!

I know the feeling. My first job I got removed because I wouldn't pass a student that happened to be an IEP with a promising football career.

I don't think Kuminga has ever been happy at Golden State. I think he wants out and Kerr doesn't like him. Kerr is trying to preserve his trade value by keeping him from embarrassing himself from the playoffs. But now his hand is forced.

I was kind of rooting for the rockets. But Jimmy's one of my favorites. Hate to see it for him.

I buy my sunglasses from Dollar tree. It's liberating! I buy them a dozen at a time and keep several pairs in my car backpack and on my person. When someone loses their expensive pair of Ray-Bans in the lake or river, I just scoff. Need to clean my lens. Nah, swap out for a new pair!

This is what I look like on vacation. I perfected the art of old man cheap ass vacation gear. And my 10-year-old's just hanging out!

Embrace the early mornings. I started waking up at 4:30 cuz I'm getting old and I think that's what old people do. I love it!

You should try printing one of the rails and then the hook variety pack. I made a whole bunch of different plates for different scenarios and needs.

Boosted. Keep up the good work!

You don't need an enclosure for TPU. I would just make sure and use glue stick because it adheres so well to the PEI plates that it can ruin the plates.

Yikes. Have you interacted with bambu service since the tariffs?

Thank you for sharing, Joel. It was so exciting to see one of my favorite content creators featuring
FIRST.

I love how 3D printing integrates with pretty much any hobby. Having all my EDC stuff organized with 3D prints makes me feel like Batman getting ready every morning.

I made something that I'm really proud of. I'd love it if you could check it out and give it a download. I'm a teacher and I'm trying to earn enough points to get another printer through maker world. makerworld.com/models/1310996

Just subscribed. Can't wait!

He's an awesome inventor but also the founder of first robotics. Thousands and thousands of kids participate in the program and compete in the best robotics competition on Earth.

I've been printing for 12 years and have owned two ender threes. The bamboos are so much better it's crazy. Get the A1 mini if budget is an issue. It just prints and you'll have a fun experience. The ender will print for about a week and then it will break and sit in your closet.

Zach! You're my grandma's chicken and dumplings. When I saw that you posted a podcast on YouTube it was so comforting and warm to hear your voice again that I could have had seconds or thirds. Also, I didn't see the link to that podcast here on Blue sky?

Great job! Team 4187 should be printing those!

Also petg absorbs water like nobody's business. If you're not drying it beforehand, you are very likely to have stringing.

Do not expect your printer to work if it is not in a room with an average temperature below 60 F. If your room is near an entryway or your room is especially drafty this will cause issues as well.

Just a PSA for those that just got there first 3D printer and are getting ready to experience a cold wave. Bed adhesion relies on a consistent room temperature environment.

If you do not have a bambu or a Prusa, then I can understand your frustration. I was running creality machines for 8 years and felt the pain. Switched to bambu and printing is now something I do everyday just for fun because it just works.

Before when doing a multiplate print I would print the first plate, return to my computer slice the 2nd plate and print. Just found the 'send' feature a couple of days ago. What a lifesaver, slice everything at once send everything at once and do all the printing from the machine interface.

No I don't add another cram session the day before finals. We have a pancake Day. I put the bilge pumps pirate Christmas album on repeat all day long and go through about five boxes of pancake batter.

I've been 3D printing for 10 years with various machines mostly creality. I've had my A1 for a year with the combo. I will never go back to creality machines. It just works and you're able to produce some amazing stuff with it.
