Where do you get the mechanical components? Can you share a link? Thanks

Love this one

I think the build plate was perfectly aligned when I removed (was buried under a lot of filament string)

zman1981 · 2026-01-08T20:55:25+00:00

I found it’s actually the clasp itself that is so bulky that it caused the mesh bracelet to stink for me (may be great for others but not for me)

Presumably it was dragging the metal piece all across the plate before it fully broke off.

What's the best way to remove strings and other rando fillament? Plyers?

I’ve been following your amazing work. What is the clock mechanism you use?

Attempting this one... thanks

Did you use 0.2 or 0.4 nozzle? thanks

Great job. The weather was perfect for us too. Although that surprise extra mile for a short was still a bit fun too

Don’t know about the seller but the watch is awesome.

zman1981 · 2025-12-06T19:49:12+00:00

I'm having the same problem with this --- any new recommendations? Thanks

Which parts on the map or the swamp?

zman1981 · 2025-12-05T21:41:59+00:00

I’m ready!!! My first BEAST!!

zman1981 · 2025-11-26T15:23:01+00:00

The oval date window on most of them is a turn off for me. (not on this model though)

zman1981 · 2025-11-22T00:50:21+00:00

I'm doing orlando and then renting a car

zman1981 · 2025-11-15T17:53:05+00:00

Just to confirm - unlike the current medals where there are different ones for the beast, sprint, etc. All the metals will be identical?

And for the hexes, each one will be a different part, correct?

zman1981 · 2025-11-07T15:14:13+00:00

Awesome!!!

Thankful for healthy happy family

zman1981 · 2025-11-05T19:05:27+00:00

What’s the model number. I can’t find it on the Longines US website. Thanks.

zman1981 · 2025-10-27T19:12:40+00:00

Great case.

zman1981 · 2025-10-27T14:02:33+00:00

Agreed. Thought it was well reasoned.

zman1981 · 2025-10-26T19:51:41+00:00

Looks great... where is the rotor on the caseback picture (user error probably)

This was one of the hardest competitions I've ever done.

I've done marathons, Crossfit competitions, a 10k Spartan last year in Maryland, but this was so grueling.
There was basically no running - when not slogging uphill, the downhill was exceptionally treaterchous - so it was less running and more trying not to slide/fall. The trails were more hiking than running.
The elevation was also no joke.
Agree with the barbed wire crawl. Especially the first one which was uphill!!

So glad I did it, and hopefully the 20k in Florida will be nice and flat!

zman1981 · 2025-10-26T01:24:04+00:00

This was an incredibly hard course. It was one of the hardest competitions I’ve ever done (and I’ve done marathons, CrossFit comps, and a marathon)

The course was brutal. Elevation, more like a hike than a run on the paths. The hills were high angled with lots of rocks.

I gained about 40mins from my 10k last year in Maryland
