I have been interested in technology my whole life. My first job writing software was as a freshman at the University of Arizona in 1973.
I now run the family plumbing parts supply house, where we 3D print parts no longer made, or never existed til now.
I have started to bake again. I did a batch of sugar cookies this evening using my 3D printed cookie cutters. I ate the tailless one and it was really good. A nice crunch but not too brittle. I have more dough to cook tomorrow, I just needed a little joy at the end of a long but productive week.

Started the prototype remodel plate design. Doing the first test print on the belt printer. 150mm x 300mm x 5mm. Should take 8 hours to print according to the slicing software. I find the estimates to be overly optomistic.

Got the Creality CR-30 Belt printer going. Successfully printed a production part we designed for Moen handles. It came out perfect.

We are finally going into production mode to make parts for customers. Not limited to plumbing as there is a demand from other small businesses that need a boost.

Finally got the motivation and time to fix the Kobra 2 printer. I have it printing a poop bucket for the A1.

I printed a fun trash cover for my Ford Maverick hybrid truck today. It even matches my interior colors.
