I just went to the roof to view the green comet.
Froze my ass off.
Found the comet after having to look up where it was.
Very faint now.
Then I went inside, where it is warm, and found it again looking through the window.

I really need to do my homework before engaging a project.

These are the test prints of one of the leaves.
I've got 7 variations for each of the 4 cornices.

This 48 hr print of the cornices' sides is turning out fantastic! So smooth!
Two more of these to go.
Then 3 more front sides.
Then 36 leaves.

I was waving back when this was taken.

Progress on the 54 hour-long print job!

Progress! Although, after more than 12 hrs we're about 1/4 way through. So, it's probably on track for the 54 hrs the system estimated.

Makes me nervous!

The new webcam is working!

@NoahPaulLeGies
Well, this is waaaay beyond my experience level.
Should be an interesting and educational journey.

I started a 55 hour 3d print last night. It will produce 2 of 3 sides of one of 4 columns in our guest bedroom.
Looks like I underestimated the total time for this project. Looks like it will take 110 hours per column (12 leaves will take 36 additional hours). So, I'm looking at 440 hours of printing.

At a minimum.

If anything fails, I have to restart the print.

I should be done by March.

Yes. It took a lot of testing to get it to look that good.

This is the leaf I'll be printing and gluing to the corners. There are 7 variations on this leaf on the design.

@MakerWerks
I'm actually going to be forced to do that with the other sides. They exceed the build-plate's capacity.
I'm going to assess the surface quality after this print and that will determine if I stand it up.
I do think that the waves/ripples will print better in this orientation, but that might not justify compromising everything else.

We made that last week with lamb.
Did you do the cognac flaming?

Production has begun!
After thinking about it for 8 years, then designing it for another year, I finally started to print the cornices for the columns in our guest bedroom. The panel below will take almost 18 hrs to print. I've got 4 of them to make. And, each column has another 2 sides I'm still configuring. So, I'll be running the printer for well over 100 hours.

Loudness and Dumbness seem to be highly correlated.

Scott Budman, a credible reporter: #Breaking: Re: Half Moon Bay shooting.
San Mateo County Sheriff's office says: "Suspect is in custody. There is no ongoing threat to the community at this time."

Crap. The shooter is still on the lose.
He attacked in two mushroom farms.

Shit. I drove by this highway this morning.
