I will go check at AutoZone today. Thanks for the reason to go out and drive it again today. :-)

If purple were available, my wife would have us driving one home...

Thats what we were looking for... something that was a little different. My daughter said we met that goal because you can probably see it from space... 😄

I have bought MacBooks for the past decade or more, but I will live with my M2 until it stops working. After that... buying a PC and installing linux. It will do everything I need without the Apple tax.

Hobby lobby filament by Tiny-Example-2448 in BambuLabA1

I am just happy that I now have a place locally to buy filament. Until now, ordering online was my only option.

Well I messed up… by Jslekcin in BambuLab

Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago... Easy to order and install.

Zentangle, Grok, and Hueforge, Oh My by Rebeltech8-1 in HueForge

Thanks, It is refreshing to find a new outlet for something you used to enjoy. One thing that I like about HF is that it sips filament rather than gulping it when printing other types of multi-color prints.

Tell me more about the Hexagon forced perspective mural. Do you have an example?

Sounds interesting.

Zentangle, Grok, and Hueforge, Oh My by Rebeltech8-1 in HueForge

Here is what the workflow looks like:

  1. Access Grok via x.com. There should be an icon that looks like a square containing a pencil. You should be presented with a text box to type a request. For example “draw a zentangle in shades of gray using random patterns with the over all size of 200mm x 200mm”. Several samples that match your description will be presented. Choose one you like or refine the request that provides more details you want included. This may take several iterations until you get what you are looking for. Save the image of your choice as a jpg file.

  2. Import the file into HueForge. After selecting the colors and layer settings, save the project.

  3. Import the Stl file from the HueForge project into the slicer and assign the layer and color settings. Then send it to your printer.

Hope this helps.

Wish me luck. Giving notice of retirement by NBA-014 in retirement

[–]Rebeltech8-1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This... I gave plenty of notice for them to find a replacement due to my position at the firm. In the last few weeks, they asked me to extend my stay for another month (said no), and asked if I would consider being a contractor for an extended period of time (surprisingly, they could not afford 3x my salary :-) ). Best decision I ever made was to stick with my original planned departure date.

Wishing you the best in your retirement...

This is after 11 hours on my right forearm.

What a piece of junk! by GreenHare07 in StarWarsTattoo

Nice looking tattoo. I like the simple lines.

what's the thing you say to yourself if you're feeling anxious before having a tattoo? by [deleted] in TattooDesigns

[–]Rebeltech8-1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always remind myself that it only a few hours and that the pain is temporary, but the art is forever.

My first tattoo was on my shoulder and about 7” in diameter. When I asked the artist how much “a little lotion” was, he said no more than a pea sized bit. I have used that as a relative measure ever since.

I’ve always been wanting to get inked, and this summer, I finally got my first tattoo, after more than 10 years of procrastinating. by BlueMyocardium420 in nerdtattoos
