This week, 3D printer parts.
Started with a new budget 3D printer. Grabbed a glass bed and magnetic cover. Then adhesive. Then pro-adhesive.
Built a roller for the filament and needed bearings, which came in a multi-pack, so I printed some fidget spinners to blow through the bearings, and then everyone wanted spinners so I needed more bearings.
Printing so much was driving me nuts with manual-leveling, so I got an auto-level kit and pro-springs and colored aluminum knobs to go with the new springs even though the auto-leveler makes them redundant.
Now, I'm eyeing a laser-etching kit and a Raspberry Pi controller.
You should quit the small stuff, and just get the plasma cutter and start selling signs.
I'm in an apartment. I can't really do more than PLA printing without killing myself on the fumes.
...New calipers came today. Little rubber balls for a silencing-hack tomorrow. 90-degree micro USB cable for controlling it from my Mac coming Tuesday. (Gonna have to print a plate to hide the USB cable.)
