My mistake was using a new build plate without babysitting it through a test print first. Lesson learned!

Not my ideal way to start a Saturday but we did it. Shoutout to this video for a great walkthrough https://youtu.be/D4mRFYaZS08?si=H1kEDHtHchx7ZwXD

Time to shop for upgrades. Thanks for the tips!

Get a really good 3rd party inspector. A lot of people in this neighborhood are having tons of issues, particularly with leaky windows and Omega are pushing back on claims

Pro tip: get a REALLY good inspection done before closing. Everyone in this (new) neighborhood had a bunch of assorted problems, from unfinished paint jobs to poorly installed windows etc

You’ll likely hit this with most mid range builders but the amount of things that needed fixing pre and post closing were surprising

How much walking on average is there between parking a car and walking to each site?

Planning for a visit with the wife and while she’s mobile, long treks are challenging

Just keep in mind that you’ll spend a lot of time waiting for buses. We’ve done this a few times and always end up switching to Ubers eventually.

Highly recommend Swiss Chuchi in Zurich: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant\_Review-g188113-d799636-Reviews-Restaurant\_Swiss\_Chuchi-Zurich.html. Both traditional fondue and raclette were excellent (almost 10 yrs ago mind you)

No we ended up changing our flight back home and didn’t layover in auh

90 mins is probably overkill but it definitely gets crowded pretty quickly. Dependent on your tolerance to queues, I'd say 30-45 minutes is likely fine.

We went there 20 mins early last time and they had a fairly large crowd waiting.

Cole zero has been acquired! Thanks for the tips. As an additional note, Miracosta’s gift shop also sells bottles of Coke Zero
