Boxes out, Boxes In

Last night when I got home Katie and DJ were still there which was a nice treat.  DJ, who now is quite an adept walker came right over to me with his arms overhead in his “pick me up grandpa” gesture which is very endearing.  I held the little guy for awhile before they headed out.

Last night I packed up one of my Prusa printers to be sent back to the Czech Republic for a second time for repair.  The first time it was sent out for a filament sensor problem.  The filament sensor has once again stopped working but the heat bed also has a problem now as well.  It’s a big pain in the ass to ship the printer halfway across the world to get fixed but all of the expense is on Prusa’s dime not mine.  All it costs me is time.

Today I am also supposed to be receiving my Inmotion V11 EUC, the same wheel I just got done testing a couple weeks ago.  This is the production model which has a number of improvements over the test wheel I had.  My wheel has had a whirlwind journey.  Less than 24 hours ago it departed Hong Kong. Since then it has gone through Anchorage, Louisville, and arrived in Fort Myers this morning, an amazingly fast journey.  I have it set up to be delivered to the UPS facility near my work so I can just pick it up.

If all goes well I should be cracking the box open tonight as I think I may be one of the first people in the United States to have a production V11.  It sounds like a good reason to have a live stream.
