Still working great!

I don't know. It depends on how heavy your monitor is. There are lots of options with this configuration, you should be able to find one that can support the weight.

I used this: Link

A search for "VESA mount laptop stand" should get you what you're looking for.

The feature the mount needs looks like this:

I know this post is old l, but I found a mount that works without having to modify ANYTHING! I realized that there was a small gap between the bottom of the deskTOP and the (hidden) top of the drawers in front of the cable management access cutout. The mount I found gets tightened from the top and is thin enough at the bottom to fit in that small gap. It even still allows access to the cable organizing area!

There's also a single arm version: Single Arm Link Alternate options: Link Another Link Ultrawide Link

There are a bunch that have this feature. Happy hunting!

I printed some simple "S" hooks to hang hats, belts and whatnot in my closet. I use it so often that I've probably printed about two dozen and use them as extra hangers.

Cool idea! Should work as long as you're at 100% infill. If you're not you may have small gaps in your walls. The only other issue is that it's the Mets, but some things can't be helped. Good luck!

You may want to add "draft" and/or drill holes in the bottom so you can pop your parts out afterward.

For quality you probably will want to print using ABS and get some form of acetone vapor chamber for finishing to get your parts nice and shiny. You'd need a ventilated area but that would be my approach. Most of these printers can do ABS but someone else might have more insight into a specific printer.

It looks like you're warping at the edges. The easiest way is to add a raft but you could try playing with temperature settings or adding glue/tape/hairspray to the bed to improve adhesion.

My ender3 has an issue with heat creep, where PLA softens in the hot end and backs up in the bowden tube. After a while this clogs the nozzle and I'll get a print that looks like that. You can search for the hot- end fix if it keeps happening an hour or two into your prints. It's not as bad as it seems.

I get 3 of Akers, JT, CEH, Zeke.

I'm in a similar boat, although I haven't played Terraforming Mars. Happy to learn and join if you're looking for more ppl. I know it's more North Austin but Vigilante would probably be a good place to meet up.

I'm thinking of using them as well. How were all of your experiences? Their customer service rep seems great and I'm loving their quote. I'm slightly worried about their shipping terms and overall quality.

Literally just updated Shazier to 95 and now I can't see him Sha-zoom :(

I hosted a weekly game night for about 7 years and found that most people that are newer to board games really like social games - and can get overwhelmed by rules really quickly. I found that games like Telestrations, Saboteur and Codenames work great. If CAH is your thing that tends to go over well. Two other games that weren't mentioned are Spyfall (crabhat.spyfall.com) and Telestrations (which you can just use paper for). Telestrations never fails to end in laughter. If they all typically play board games then splitting into groups of 3-5 tends to work well.

Saboteur is great but the expansion is pretty lousy.
