Random postings about 3D Printing and CAD used for design.
I need to put this writing. It’s not the first time. it’s about the human expectation of fast is always better and that the fastest is the winner of the race. But Three Dimensional printing has never been a race. I see hobbyist 3D printing expectations rising to a point that can not be achieved […]

I am totally re-enjoying my full retirement since I closed down the on-line / side-line business. I am now a very concentrated hobbyist. I love to design and make things. My many creative websites and blogs are listed in the first page of this website. My present passion is involved with three dimensional printing. As
Number one activity for me at age 75 is playing with my 3D print machines. I will admit to owning ten. Not all at one time but I have had up to four printing at the same time. Several are temporarily out of commission. Meaning fixable but no reason to do so. The newest is
The real world is not about constant perfection. The simple truth is perfection is never a constant condition. I believe unobtainable if one looks hard enough. The tiniest flaws are sill there. Perfection is a goal dreamed up by competitive scoring. Like the “perfect 10” in the Olympics. Moving towards perfection is admirable. The reason
I admit that PETG (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol) is one of my favorite FDM printing filaments. My only issues using it has been from extruder heat control. Those issues have been due to poor dynamic thermal conductance within the heating system. Nothing to do with the PETG material. The solution for me has been to use
