    Decided to run my ebikes on solar

    I now have three more 100w panels inbound to add to the system. Hard to believe now they are so much cheaper than a few years ago, like half the price I paid for my old ones. Today I am getting around 175 watts and am charging my Kobalt 40 v battery after mowing the front and back yard. Now...

    My first 3D printer

    Started printing a shipping container with a sliding lid to mount on the radwagon 5 for storage. Also made a few gifts, Jeep keychain and Ford wall art for my step sons. This is my biggest print so far the container about 2 1/2 hours to print (still going) then the lid is a separate print.

    My first 3D printer

    Morning coffee saw some more 3D printing and two filament color changes. Made some box openers, phone holder, concave dodecahedron, and another boat.

    My first 3D printer

    It is fantastic to watch it work. Easy set up to get going and huge potential to learn more about the process. Really a bargain for this machine to get into the hobby. Made a fidget toy a 15 minute print I really enjoyed watching while having my morning coffee. mesmerizing machine.

    My first 3D printer

    Well it arrived today and set up was straightforward, wifi, apps, connections, all good. sending print instructions and monitoring all wireless. Watching the first prints, very cool and the quality of the prints is impressive. They do not feel like a cheap toy at all. Slicer learning curve next up.

    My first 3D printer

    so after years of thinking about getting a 3D printer I finally found a deal that got me to pull the trigger. This one claims beginner friendly, easy 10 minute set up out of the box and auto leveling. Under $200 with code I finally will enter the 3D print rabbit hole.

    My first Mid Drive

    Noticed a loose headset today after installing the eesilk and Brooks combo and doing some seat bouncing. It had quite a bit of play and needed to be tightened up. I remember thinking about how loose the steering felt on my last grocery run but never checked it, should be better now.
