I made a stick. Considering this is my 2nd 3D model, the first one being a cone. I'm quite happy with the friction fit dovetails. Not a bad test of 3D printed joinery. Once I figure out putting in a dado too, nothing will be materially verboten.

Well technically it was last week but I didn't feel like bumping the thread that day. I've been printing plastic goods all week instead of buying them, so would this be an anti-consumer fuck purchase? Printing LST training clips for the plants right now.

...and I think I threatened to do this if I got a 3D printer, somewhere about 1500 pages ago in this thread. Clicking LST clips.

Get 3D printer to print Leviton plastic shelves that they charge way too much for 5"X2" plastic click shelf, because I'll need between 15- 20 of them for the remodel. What do I do first day.. Design a cone rolling mold and cone packing slide for King papers. In my defense, it's a gift...

Primer coat number one applied. This week's goal accomplished and I get tomorrow off from this damned remodel while I wait for it to dry. Next up, wall texture, another coat of primer, then paint, then ceiling texture, and final prime on the ceiling. So 5 working days left on this damned...

We've been in 78+° days for over a month now. I'm on week 4 of violating the Geneva Convention with the chemical warfare in my yard. Big box kill'em all bug spray every other week, weed/grass spray on the alternating weeks. If that doesn't work we've got an old school pest control store that...

Day 4: Final mudding day. The day you realize that despite having already completed 4 rooms, purchased hundreds of dollars in tools, watched thousands of hours of "how to" videos, that you still really have no fucking clue what you're doing or why you're doing it. So you throw the last bit of...

Depends on which mud I'm using, Quick Set doesn't wet sand as nicely and tends to chunk up. With just regular lightweight mud I'll come in after about 4-5 hours and ligthly wet sand it with a sanding sponge around 240grit to smooth it out. Gets it smoothed out. Yesterday's mudding was the...

Said Super Sucker, still holding together 1000 forum pages later, this is room #3 that it's sanded. Quite a handy little setup.

Pretty much got all of that. I've got a power sander connected to a cyclonic dust separator, connected to my shop vac. Affectionately called the Super Sucker. The last measure is everything is covered in 5 layer deep 3mil plastic on top of a thick 6mil sheet, in the room I'm sanding and as soon...

Only 3 more coats of mud and sanding to go.

This thread went exactly where I expected it to.

Went outside last night, saw our shadow. Good to know that despite this timeline Newtonian physics still work on a cosmic scale, yay us. Spring break time, child is going to visit Grandmom because, "I mean like, she's totes old, she's only got so many spring breaks left!" to quote my kid. When...
