A little hole in the top and a peice of wire and you have disney tree ornaments. As long as you can price them under 30 $ a pop , your golden. Keep printing, you have 360 days until Christmas!

I'm thinkin the purple one would be a perfect hood ornament on our purple golf cart

I'd like to place my order for a black and a purple

We don't have purple filament, but that can be fixed. We do have copper metallic and mint green coming.

Even at $10 a piece we would make a killing. A 1kg roll of filament is $20-25 and I could probably get several hundred out of a roll.

I will me bringing some to the Fort next week. Printing off a few other fun things too.

How big can he make them

 

[Teamubr]

The print plate is 225mm X 225mm or about 9 X 9 inches The ones in the pic are about 3 inches tall.

A little more 3D fun.



I have the file for the MK Cinderella Castle, but it is big and tall and detailed. The program says it will take 2 1/2 days to print.

It came to my attention this past year that I was known as "Waffle Guy" to some on the forum due to my Mickey waffle I had as my avatar. Then this popped up on my Fb feed.



Six years is a long time for the same pic, so 2022 required a new avatar. I really like this new pic of the two of us.

PS - planning to drop Directv this week like 3rd period French (and get rid of my $150 a month bill) and sign up for YouTube TV at $65 a month and supplant that programming with a Roku (already connected and working).

So an update from a late November 2021 post of mine above about dropping Directv (DTV). It's been done.

I'm not a big tv watcher but I do love my live sports. College and pro baseball and football, the locals, and a few classic movie channels. I had a large "dumb" tv (60 inch), a DTV subscription that was $142 a month (and watched only 10 channels), and a 30-40 mbps internet connection (max speed available at my address from my current provider, AT&T). So that's my recap.

This past fall I replaced the tv with a 70" Samsung smart tv. Then I signed up for YouTube TV (YTTV) for a month at $15 to try it out along side DTV. That went well. Only me and DW at home here so the home interent speeds, while not Gigabit, meet our current needs.

The week leading into Christmas I called Directv and disconnected service (they had sent me a paper mail notice in December saying my $142 rate per month was going to go to $150 per month. I said "goodbye"). I've gone through the major college football bowl games in the last few days with no problems on YTTV. (some minor features from DTV I miss but can live with at $65 a month).

For Christmas I moved my elderly parents to YTTV also (cutting their live tv bill in half) and got them a new big screen smart Samsung with my brother and sister under the Christmas tree. I'm their personal Geek Squad so I set up the tv and migrated their tv services and hauled off the old tv.

So it's done. There will be some plus and minus aspects of YTTV but it fits me now.

@Teamubr I read the Jan trip thread first and commented there. First thing i noticed was new avatar. Love it.

Good trend, Jim.

New year, probably should update the avatar to the most recent trip.

They have a Dole Whip for the rest of us. I've never been to a Disney water park, this might just be the ticket.

Hopefully they start having it other places also

 

[tiggerdad]

anybody else notice a DEF shortage? Might have to cancel my upcoming March trip

Thankfully that is no longer an issue I have.

if he is printing in PLA might not survive the Florida heat. I have to clean my printer off and start on some of my star wars projects again.

I'm pre-Def and happy about. Even if we trade this coach it'll be for another pre-Def year.

He is printing with PLA (the blue is PLA+). We'll see about the Florida heat. We are printing some of the things fairly dense.. That should help.

I had 2 1/2 gallons of DEF in the garage that I poured in this week. That brought me up to 3/4 tank. It should be plenty for the trip to the Fort and back. I may try to pick some more up at the Freightliner Service Center. They are the cheapest around and generally have what I need.

@tigger92662's purple arrived and we started printing some little key rings. Ian already has requests at work for a bunch of these.

I see a hood ornament coming soon.
