Day 1415 : Overdue

liner notes:

  • Saturday : Before heading to the station for the radio show, I spent some time in my workshop. I made a quick modification to a 3D model and did a print. It worked! After that, I headed to the studio and did the show. Great time as usual. The recording of this week's show is at https://kNOwBETTERHIPHOP.com

A meme format features a close-up photograph of a worker's hands carefully holding a large, heavy, rough-textured gold bar with serial numbers stamped onto its upper surface. The worker is wearing a high-visibility industrial uniform consisting of an orange button-up top with chest pockets and grey and dark blue detailing. A small gold lion logo accompanied by text that reads

  • Sunday : Pretty productive day. I did a sublimation print on a book bag that I want to take on my trip. The results were good. There was some residue from previous prints, but it looked cool. Now I know what to do next time. I'm noticing some like blurry lines on some parts of the prints. I think the ink isn't drying in time or something. I ordered some other paper weights to see if that will fix things. I already did a bunch of research and changed settings on the printer and got it a lot better than it was. Going to play around with it some more.

  • Professional : I added a new feature to an application that I'm working on for some upcoming workshops. I had my manager test it out during our 1 on 1 meeting and they really liked it. I'm going to clean it up and update the workshop steps and get it ready. Responded to some community questions. I also did some research mapping out my travel for this upcoming run of workshops and got it ready to put into this AI that has access to different company docs to help me build out an itinerary. I wanted to see what it could come up with. I copy and pasted my research into it and it broke! haha. Going to try it again tomorrow.

  • Personal : So, I've been working on different space sizes for this model I've been printing all last week. The issue is that depending on the printer and filament, the prints can come out different even if all the settings are the exact same with the exact same file. One size for the space between the parts are pretty loose and they fall out and another size it's too close and the parts kind of fuse together and are really stiff. I changed the size to be in the center of the 2 space values I printed previously and it just finished. I think I got it right! Out of the 100 items, 99 came out good. Like 4 were kind of stuck, but I just needed to press it a little and it worked. 1 isn't really usable because the filament may have been out too long and it started to mess up towards the top layer. It's a new filament manufacturer that I haven't used before. I'll need to dry it and it should print fine next time.

An eye-level, wide panoramic photograph captures a beautiful coastal scene featuring a wide, sandy beach stretching into the distance. On the left side, towering, rugged rocky cliffs and hillsides curve along the shoreline. Bright sunlight from behind the cliffs fills the air with a warm, hazy golden glow, casting soft shadows across the smooth sand. To the right, white-crested ocean waves gently crash onto the shore under a vast, clear blue sky, creating a serene and expansive coastal landscape. The setting is Point Reyes, CA, United States.

Like I mentioned before, some of the prints were either too loose or too tight. Luckily, I can interchange parts so the it works pretty well. Been spending a little time mix and matching parts after work. haha If I have any parts left over, I should be able to print the missing pieces at the correct sizing so it will fit together. That way, I don't have any waste. Going to go through tracks for the radio show because I need to have a stockpile since I won't be able to do it while traveling, but still doing the show. After dinner, I'll get started on that and I want to make some more modifications to another model so I can print it tomorrow. There's a project that I want to get done so I can get a prototype to the folks I'm working with on this project. I'm way overdue! haha.

Have a great night!
