I'm very lucky that I work with some people that also have 3D printers and there's actually a Makers group in the basement of where I work that have 3D printing meetups on Tuesdays. It's a lot easier when you have people around to help.

My work computer suddenly can't find its hard drive so I get to tinker with my printer while it runs diagnostics. I'll let you know how it works out at a lower temp!

We're working on fixing the extruder at the moment. Regardless of how we set the thumb screw, it seems to be gripping the filament too tightly and causing all kinds of issues. Anyway, I'm excited to get printing soon!

These are in between making toys for my younger one and nephews, models for my husband and friends and maybe some D&D stuff when I have time.

What're you making?

(It's a small city between Syracuse & Ithaca, NY) I just got my Solidoodle 2 Pro yesterday and my family and I have been working diligently to get it calibrated and working.

I decided to get a 3D printer because I want my daughter to learn more technical skills like my husband and I and I want to make awesome things to get other people excited about 3D printing. I also want to design & make awesome gaming things for my friends and family.

I look forward to getting to know the rest of you!
