Try cooking dinner at home together and see if it happens.

Thank you! That looks awesome!

Thank you for sharing! I talked to a friend about 3d printing on Tuesday, saw the cardboard cutter here Wednesday, and then ordered my first printer that afternoon. My Ankermake M5c arrives Tuesday. I’m super excited but i know nothing, so these ‘how I got started’ posts are very encouraging. I see people talk about Tinkercad. How is it? As someone who is completely new and not a tech person, is that the easiest place to start? Once i get the hang of printing patterns i find online, i want to make scary face parts for a pumpkin (think Mr. Potato Head) and spiral notebook covers with funny sayings. It doesn’t matter how bad the pumpkin face parts are - they’re just going on my porch for a couple of weeks and meant to look weird. I think the only hard part on the notebook covers will be getting the spiral holes correct and getting 20 made by Christmas for my coworkers. Sorry for rambling - I’m just excited and clueless and found your share encouraging. If i make a post asking people to share pics of their first items/ideas, would that be annoying?

On season 5 of Grimm. We’ve been pretty dedicated, trying to watch two episodes per day, and I’m kinda ready for it to be done.

I check administrative and fundraising costs. 90% of my donations are local organizations that directly impact my community, mostly the food bank, animal care and shelters, and school or student groups.

Yeah. I gave Kamala $46.50 the day Biden dropped. It was my first political donation (even though I’m old) and i was pretty excited about it. Now i get at least 4 emails per day. I finally started unsubscribing today. Seriously, I’m voting for you, but you’re gonna need to back the fuck off.

There also the one where we all vote and then count them to see who has more.

Not really religious, but my first thought was, “i hope my mom gets to meet her on the other side.”

Oh how i wish this were true!! Of all the onion articles, this might be my fav!

Oh that’s a good idea. I should have checked there. Bought the ankermake m5c for 339 including 15# of material and accessories.

Ha! Yeah. They didn’t mention that use in the webinar. 🤣

I looked at prusa and pretty quickly realized that I couldn’t afford them.

I ordered the m5c. I got the printer, 13 lb of material, and some accessories for $339. Can’t wait to make some Braille Play-Doh presses.

I work with kids with significant disabilities who we keep in public school until they’re age 22. They do unskilled jobs and volunteer ‘work’ and safety is a big concern. If there are five students and one teacher at a table, a plastic device that automatically measures and has a hidden blade is going to be much better for them than scissors or box knives. Yes, we do need to teach children to safely use everyday items and for most kids that’s fine, but there are some for whom ‘just do it my way’ doesn’t work. Your life experience may not be the same as that of other people. Teach generally, but make space for the individual.

Do I need the M5 or can I get away with the m5c? I really know nothing about it or how much material things need. I just want to make cool things. How much filament did your cardboard cutter require?

I’ve been thinking about getting a 3D printer. Well, yesterday I decided I need a 3D printer. I know nothing at all. What should I get?

Doesn’t sound very bad. Sounds like a good, easy comfort food, especially if it’s chilly.

Awesome! Is that a real device that’s available for sale? Those would be good school or scout projects to donate to animal shelters.

Tell us more about breakfast chili.

Are we married?
