Hi.
This isn't where I planned to be today, but hey, better safe than sorry. Had vision loss and stroke-like symptoms today - best case it's just symptoms from stress, but they're giving me the full checkup to make sure it's nothing too serious.
Take care everyone.

If y'all want me to pronounce "Slic3r" as "slicer", I'm also going to start pronouncing "Simplify3D" as "simplified" and the "Prusa i3" as "Prushiiieee". Your call.

Okay, I'm out!
This has been pretty much the scariest experience of my life: what started as a small visual glitch with a single crystal-like glistening spot in my vision quickly grew until it blinded out the entire right half of my vision. Then the headache started to set in.

As makers, we don't just have the power to create the world around us, but also to ourselves define who we are and what we stand for.
But if you decide to use that power to become someone who belittles people for being different from you, you're not a maker, but an asshole.

Thanks for all the good wishes everyone!
Except for a very slight headache, I feel like I'm back to normal - but I don't have a diagnosis yet and as it stands they want to keep me here in the hospital for a bit longer. I'll keep you all posted.

Even after reading my terms, they wanted to:

- Sneak me a crowdfunding product that isn't released yet

Really makes you wonder why billion-dollar companies need massive crowdfunding campaigns for yet-another-Ender-3 when a maker like Ellie can manage to develop the Cocoa Press by herself and at the end just be like "yeah, you can order this now"
I am so excited to announce reservations for Cocoa Press will start April 17th for DIY kits shipping to the US or Canada❣️🍫💝
It will be $100 to reserve a kit. The remaining $1,399 will be due when it ships (eta September)

Okay, so my Peugeot e208 beeps every time it locks itself. It's a simple, short "beep-beep".
But: We hear that noise more often than we lock the car. Which is odd...
Turns out some bird has learned to reproduce the sound exactly - and it's driving my mom absolutely crazy 😂

Me: I don't review laser engravers that don't have an enclosure. They are dangerous for the user and illegal to import.
They: But is it still dangerous and illegal if we ship the laser separately?

Using gcode is cheating.
I only press little buttons that move each axis by a step and I keep track of where the print is at in my head. Like a man.
Using slicers is cheating.
I only compile gcode by manually sketching out each layer on graph paper and manually inputting each movement into gcode in notepad.txt

This is what a filter looks like after six months of soldering vs. a brand new one. Use a fume extractor with a filter, folks.

6 months ago, my dad was diagnosed with Covid-19. Even today, his sense of smell is still practically non-existant - and that's one of the milder cases of lasting damages.
Stay safe all of you!

So I'm heavily investing in my YouTube channel's future right now - renting and building out a studio and planning to hire folks to work with me.
Meanwhile, actual channel performance is tanking with every new video I upload. Which... is not worrisome in the slightest 😬

If 99 people give you a pat on the back and one person comes around and punches you in the face, you're going to have a broken nose. The 99 pats are appreciated, but they can't do anything to fix your nose.
In the end, it doesn't matter if it's fists or words.

The buttons on my dad's roll-out awning snapped, so obviously we just printed new inserts instead of spending 250€ to replace the entire unit 😎

It's fascinating to see that Louis Rossmann is calling $70/sqft rent for space in NYC "fair" while at the same time I'm looking at office/studio space going for around 5€/m² - which is about $0.50/sqft !
Man, I love not having to live in a city.

Had a call with the mayor yesterday and I'm getting the feeling he's inconvenienced by people who have larger plans for their life than "work at the BMW factory, build a house, have two kids, die".

Being able to print "at project speed" is pretty dang cool. Think of a part, model it up, and by the time you actually need it it's done.
