Went to RePC today to see if they can loan me some equipment and they did. Loaned me a Lenovo M90Q, dang what an impressive piece of tech. Unfortunately no review for it. No power supply, just a fitting. Also cost was $500 high for my taste.
As I post I have not made my steps yet. Vowing not to make the same mistake last time of being a little short.
Weight cracked 333 today, barely.
Amazing last year on this date I was 332.0 Little more this year.
Weight: 332.8
I was hoping today was going to be quiet, unfortunately it wasn’t. Work kind of pushed me till when I had to leave for a doctors appointment. Not much time for a break.
The doctor did explain a lot about the meds I been taking and is recommending something new.
After that went to harbor freight and got some containers.
Then went to the gym all while trying to print some things.
Am tired at home.
Weight: 333.4
I don’t feel right leaving my printer unattended and it going. Don’t want to come home to a fire. But I need to run a 4 hour print and seems like today was a bad day to try that.
Son came home from PLU before the weekend, just to take the car.
Looks like he needs to run some errands tomorrow and needed the car.
Got my 10,000 steps done late, dropped off my mom and wife at casino and I came home for some steps.
Too many meeting today, could have gotten steps done earlier.
Anyway check this weight out, 7.2 more lbs and I will be the lowest weight this year.
Weight: 333.6
I noticed lately I been getting more hungry. The zepbound I been taking has been weakening. I am still exercising and I am holding out, but hoping the progress I had does not reverse.
Had a great swim though.
My tiny racks are getting built, so cheap got multiple going.
Need to refocus back to my lab network.
Weight: 335.6
Yesterday I mentioned I got my first TPU batch to print. I started a large batch before I went to bed and it was still going for a couple of hours after I was done.
I doubt this can be a business for a dude with 1 printer. I think you would need at least 10 in a print farm to make a profit.
Weight: 337.8
Got a notice in the mail today, saying that my life insurance rates are gonna go up. It has been 20 years since I signed up for it, and it is coming to an end. Wow did they jack up the price.
I need to see where I am financially, I am in a good place, so I think I am going to let it lapse.
First time I used the external feeder on my Bambu P1S, also first time I printed TPU, it takes longer to print in TPU then in PLA or PETG.
So couple milestones today.
I do feel healthier than I did a few months ago. I think I am turning the page on my health. My swim is getting normal.
Weight: 336.2
Dropped off my son to college today, he is in a much nicer place now than last year.
I was thinking, hmm, maybe he could use a mini rack to show off while at school.
Anyway, gonna be weird without him around.
Going through another build, just getting stuff how I want it and putting together a kit.
Weight: 334.4
Spent couple hours trying to ctach up with my rack, unfortunately it was a late build.
Went to RePc to show the manager there and found out he was out. Also found out they are short on 1L servers.
Anyway got home late too. Late post. Also late weight recording, I weighed in an put it on the board but not put it into my database.
Weight: 336.0
Filament got stuck in the extruder, had problems getting the filament out of it.
Took a while but I finally got the stuck filament out.
Needless to say, I am not gonna be able to bring a demo set to repc tomorrow.
I did swim today, felt great.
Weight: 334.8
I did an analysis today on how much it costs to build the rack , the screws are significant in the price because the plastic material was so cheap.
Here is the breakdown.
Here is what it is but does not include what is in it.
Also it is for four side panels not two.
But you can’t just look at the price, you need to look at the print time, I takes over 24 hours to print all this.
I did officially make my fitbit goals before I post today.
Finally cracked 335 lbs, there is a chance I will crack 330 by end of August and likely before summer officially ends.
Weight: 334.8
