Up for Air

I have had a packed couple days as I have been juggling multiple aspects of getting our new huge office building ready for business.  Yesterday morning I had a line of people at my door as I was on the phone as well.  I am fortunate that these sort of situations only occur sporadically instead of being an everyday thing.  There were a number of things that got handled on the fly but in the end the systems are up and running as they need to be although there will be many more challenges to address and logistics to manage before the building opens sometime next month.

This print I started on Sunday is taking forever.  This model was already on the memory card from before.  I must have tried printing the massive village before and it failed. Well I didn’t look at the parameters for the print before this attempt. It looks like I have a much higher infill amount than I should for something this big.  The end result is now going on four days in I had not cracked the 40% mark in overall completion yet.  The print may consume two full rolls of filament, or more, if it completes.  Despite the marathon amount of time this is taking, if it actually completes 100% the model will take the crown for the longest 3D print I have ever completed.

I may go to Victoria Park tonight to roll around and check things out.  I will be bundling up if I do, a cold front blew through yesterday that has dropped the temp significantly in the last 24 hours.  I’m not complaining though, cold air and Christmas go together.
