those 3d printed drill guides get chewed up around the holes so fast, i'd leave room for metal bushings
450 bucks is a pretty good incentive to learn how soffit panels fit together
Attention homeowners!! You do not have to pay somebody $450 to reinstall a peice of soffit.
You can literally do it yourself in 5min. If it flew out once reinstall with fasteners and you won't have the same problem again. Left side is groove right side is tongue. If installed correctly you need zero fasteners.
the amount of patience it takes to get every piece fitting right on something this small is unreal

An in progress model by @dshaynie, being tested in PLA and will soon be made from brass!
He has poured multiple months into this model, many scans of real Js and spent multiple hours trying to figure how the cab, boiler and frames all join🤣

From "I wish I had a Codex pet figurine" to this on my desk 💙
Asked Astra + Codex to model it in Blender. It handled the slicing+verification as well for my Bambu Lab P1S.
Also an excuse to try "product photography" for the first time. Pretty excited how it all turned out!
that pendant over a handmade shou sugi ban table is gonna look incredible
there's something deeply satisfying about watching a homemade mechanism finally cycle the way it's supposed to
honestly the idea of going from a few lines of code to a real piece of wood is pretty great
71 dollars in import charges on a 74,000 yen package is gonna make people check dhl and fedex real quick
We're in the final stages of testing UPS with a handful of customers.
Here's one example: a package picked up in Japan late Friday afternoon that's already scheduled to arrive in the US on Monday afternoon.
For this particular shipment, the declared value was 74,000 JPY (including shipping), and the import duties and charges came to 71 USD. Is this more or less what you have been paying for DHL or FedEx to the US?
For each test shipment, we're also closely monitoring the duties payment process, customer notifications, and final delivery to make sure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
Adding UPS alongside DHL and FedEx will give us more flexibility to offer competitive shipping rates and delivery times.
It's not just about getting packages there faster or cheaper. We also want to make sure the entire experience is as smooth as possible for our customers.

i love explaining the prep time on a repair quote because that's when people start picturing what the work actually involves
lego-style accessories are such an obvious way to make a speaker more fun, someone print this already
always a classic - LEGO Brick Style plate for @cmfbynothing Speaker M (or S) anyone? Sadly no 3D printer to print it haha
scale is one of those things your brain stops being good at once you're zoomed in. having a familiar object there is genuinely useful
When working CAD we’re constantly viewing 1mm details in a big screen, and at least to me, I always get surprised by its real physical size (after 3d printing it). That’s why I added Reference feature, that lets you put your object into perspective with real-world objects. Scenes are customizable too!
people get weird about paying for estimates like measuring a crooked kitchen and pricing out materials takes ten minutes
some houses have a whole personality and people still look at them and think white paint will fix it
Early 90s house for sale. Owned by a lovely gentleman who lived there with his wife since they built it.
New owners paint the roof, the gutter, the fascia, all the trim, the garage door, the garage door HANDLE, and all the bricks in WHITE.
Interior stripped, also white, bathroom and kitchen once full of character replaced with austere, lifeless hotel styling.
It's a corpse. Sucked of all life and positivity.
The new owners bought it to flip it.
It has not sold.
No one wants the course of a once fine house.
A crime against architecture and family.
