Production line, More mistakes, Pay for no delay

by Duf Anything and Everything

So I have had my A1 busy cranking out cool multi-color prints. I have been giving these away, some of which at work. Unfortunately what happens is one person gets a print, others see it and then they all want one as well. Then we have people that not only want one but they want me to make it a certain size or color, as if they were paying me to do so which is somewhat irritating. Those people are given low priority. With one printer and each print taking between 10 and 20 hours it is not a fast production line. There is something fun about waking up each morning to a new creation on the build plate for sure. Yes I am certain a second Bambu printer will be coming sometime during this calendar year.

Yesterday I did a short video outlining yet another mistake I made trying to install a filament refill on a spool. The mistake wound up making the refill basically worthless which was frustrating as you can imagine.

So I have been an Amazon Prime member forever. The free fast shipping on many products was worth it to me, even after several iterations of price increases. Another benefit is Amazon Prime Video, their streaming service which was included in your membership. Well sometime last year Amazon changed things up and started putting forced ads into their streaming content which I found annoying. You could still get an ad free experience IF you paid an additional monthly fee. It was a minuscule $3 a month but the principal of it bothered me.

Over the weekend I was watching some content on Prime and an ad popped up. I guess I was in some sort of mood and I quickly hit the button to sign me up for ad free. It took 6 months or more but they finally broke me down. I have been chain watching Battlestar Galactica lately and it has been nice being able to do so without two or three ad breaks per episode.

I have my second yoga session of the week today. I played pickleball yesterday at lunch and did so without feeling significant consequences afterward. I definitely am less aggressive when playing now. Balls that I would charge forward for in the past in the hope I could make the play I just let go now. It’s not worth it to go all out if I am not feeling 100%.
