Another fedizen :fedi: from the Pacific Northwest of the USA. Probably not a sentient Athlon.

This is my private GoToSocial :gts: instance.

Clear PETG is tricky.

Top cube is 2 perimeter and 0% infill. Bottom cube is 1 perimeter and 100% infill.

Translucency is good even if clarity is not so great.

Which is fine. The real goal was printing clear-enough diffusers for the LED sticks in the printers.

It’s that time of year to spend a whole weekend making holiday treats for all our friends and neighbors.

Made so far: homemade York peppermint patties, maple marshmallows, toffee, gingerbread cookies, peppermint mocha cookies (need to be dipped), lemon crinkles cookies.

Next up is snickerdoodles…

My first batch of Christmas cookies for the year.

We bake treat boxes for all of our neighbors and friends every year.

But these ones are just for us.

Our friends will have to wait until next weekend.

I got to play with this a bit tonight.

Steam Link was a little glitchy for some reason.

But Sunshine / Moonlight worked surprisingly well.

I installed Borderlands 2 on both devices so I could get a back to back comparison on a game that is plenty capable on […]

Bazzite VM exists, seems to have the GPU passed through appropriately.

Its time to install a couple games.

Won't get to try actually streaming until a bit later.

I saw this model last year but never got around to doing anything with it…then I showed it to my kids and they decided they had to have it by 12/1 for the holiday season. They picked and arranged all the adornments.

So here is our Giant Lego Wreath (200% scale) […]

Every year as far back as I could remember my grandfather would put out this train at Christmas time.

Three years ago I inherited it and have done the same.

My kids were so excited to help me set it up this year, just as I was so many years ago.

Bit of a niche item, but i didn't see it anywhere.

Remix for the voron decontaminator mod to use silicone A1 clone brushes.

These silicone deals are so much more effective and easier to replace and manage than the brass brushes from the original model […]

5yo said that only girls can paint their nails.

Had to nip that one in the bud so we played nail salon. 💅

Another thread on passenger rail reminded me of riding the Shanghai maglev. I was lucky enough to do this quite a few times flying in and out from Pudong.

A pretty cool experience to go 431km/h without taking flight.

Awful day for a beekeeper

One of my hives is a dead out and another is on its last legs and it’s only November 8th. I just couldn’t get them to pack on food and now they’re a lost cause.

I have one hive still going and they’re my sole hope.

But then I find that […]

The magic of bed meshing and nozzle probing does make for some nice first layers though.

Mainsail: Sure the slicer says that this is a 4 hour print, but this first layer feels a bit long so maybe it's actually a 33 hour print.

Spent our last day in Australia heading up to the Kuranda Rainforest on the old scenic railway.

The railway was a super impressive achievement considering when it was built and we had some beautiful views on the way up and the way down on the SkyRail gondola […]

Accidentally timed the ferry just right to come back at sunset.

Took the ferry out to Manly Beach for the day. Was a bit cooler than we would have liked, but these Washingtonians are not accustomed to tomorrows 36° weather either…

Time to head to #sydney to hunt for any reason at all not to like #australia
