I'm late to pubski.

3D Printers

My delta 3d printer project stalled out in November. I've printed everything I need to finish it, but I haven't bought the "vitamins"; i.e. all the fasteners and such. I liked designing the bits that I did, but the idea of building wasn't so exciting. Today, I started designing a new printer based on a really old cable layout. My goal is to use as little fasteners as possible without compromising quality.

We will see how I do. My bet is that most printers are vastly overbuilt in the name of precision that won't really be visible anyways after the sloppy process of spitting out molten plastic.

Work

My old boss was actively trying to fire me. Well, not just me but all of my family that worked there. He wasn't competent enough to actually pull it off, but the effort was there. The best he managed was an offence I could have gone to the Department of Labor for and gotten him shitcanned, and teaching me that management can't produce a written copy of the attendance policy.

My new boss? He keeps telling me what a good job I'm doing. He's calm. He's respectful. It is fucking weird. I'm so use to being in combat with management. It's weird.
