Cuppa's and carpentry don't normally mix
Cut it short...
Not forgetting recovering from yer long trip home.

Would it have saved you much cutting if she had told you before you started/finished. Charge her, a McD's coffee at a location that suits you

And once in Duisburg, it'll rest a while, before going off again?
One day from today must mean tomorrow, unless the message informing you came yesterday. In which case it should be today.
If only they'd stamped the package with where it'd been handled...

That sounds painful...
Not yer new one, already...
In what way, a clogged nozzle is the same be it old or new. In't'it!
Sounds as though there's more than a brew due, given it's been one of THOSE days...
Clog sorted, borrowed a new one from D in L.....
Oh well, these things happen, I'll have a look at the other blocked one at some point.
Looking at more to have in stock at home...

This is the guarantee....

I see one or two old PLAs are going in the bin, I'll get some refills and first refillable spool is being printed just now, well the biggest half of it, still an hour to go but pt2 done before big river place early delivery tomorrow.
Youngest g/kid got her first balance bike, will be fun watching her on it, her sister got her first 'real' one the other day.

Off to log..
Where were that first half o'post hiding?
Not even going to attempt to edit it in case it disappears again.

Those pesky little people..

Why'd you borrow a clog? Couldn't you get a pair...
It's the old one getting its revenge for being cast aside for more bells and whistles.
Nozzles for the old printer no good for the new one?

That for what could be delivered tomorrow, or today, last known location Duisberg.

Past their use by date, or simply gone "rotten" on you? I had you down as someone who'd not throw money away. Refills come cheap, or are they like printer inks, more than the printer is worth, but not cheap enough that you can manage with the cheaper versions.
Half hour to go, must be nearly done by now.
How early is an an "early delivery" up there...

You giving them lessons. And more importantly, do they look as though they'll leave you standing oncthey get going.

Much to do today.

I'd posted from a library, and it was showing as posted, but then reappears as unposted. Summat going on...

Best sprayed before the sun reaches the area anyway. Home made mix, if it works will you be selling it...
Lulls already, wots tha doing lad...
The sun is shining, the skies are blue and yer at a loss as to what to do...
Little visitors big enough to come on their own now. Especially when they have their own transport.

Likewise yerself.

No, totally different idea..
I haven't had too much of a delve into it all yet...
Maker website does refill packs of PLA BUT I need refill spools so No1 (part2) is almost printed, 33 mins to go.
Turned out the spool of PLA I was using was the first I've had with dodgy winding but got a message flashing up to go fix it so handy dandy, they are reasonably priced for refills, D-I-L advised it's the most reasonable way forward, discounts on bulk buys so will see but if buying spooled 1kgs they are supplied with refillable spools so a catch 22 I may look at. In PLA, air and moisture can affect, PETG is best used for outside, I could use any old PETG for plant pot stands...
I do have a drier for drying ( bit obvious that bit Bob, Ed.)

News Flash !!

We are now in the EU officially.....
Big River Place must have changed schedule for 7-1 in this area, I have always been really early delivered to , oh well, I'll play radio, do some domestics and Mrs M has been out in the garden.
I badly need a :cuppa:

I won't be drinking it..
Days quite good so far,
Problem is we are a bit of a pedal or working yer wee legs on a balance bike.
We are 15 - 20 mins away from each of our own kids (not really kids now)

Gotta be careful with these new ideas popping into yer head...
Blimey, they'll sell you what you need to make the spools, but not the spools. Be fun starting out, "first, print your spool, then wind the appropriate material onto the spool before printing". It'll be done by now then. I bet they sell a spool winder as well. What about a reel to reel tape recorder, adapted to take a spool and the "raw" unspooled stuff?
Handy enough for the machine to know you'd wound it wrong. Clockwise instead of anticlockwise no doubt. Did D.I.L. not have a spare spool you could have had. Can I take it yer printer doesn't take 1Kg reels/spools, hence yer winding issues.
Dryer still where you left it?

We've been there for a few years now or is that yer long lost parcel showing closer to delivery.
We get deliveries upto around 11pm here. All the usual names, DPD, DHL, RM...
You need a cuppa, you get one. Or have you been barred/banned from the kitchen.

I know you said you needed a cuppa, but I didn't realise situation were that bad...
I'd say similar down here. Doing what they do in Southern California for this time tomorrow.
A tagalong and you could have them there in no time, especially on yer new cycleway.

You don't need a winder,
That is 3 spools done and will order some PLA which come with the official refill spools.
I'm tied up before a free weekend so no order until Sat or Sun, will look at spools lying there and see what I can print off spool wise even if each side is a different colour.
1 kg is bog standard size

No update on THE package, apparently still in the Doos of Burg, they better hurry as they promise to pay me four of the best British pounds if arrives on the 29th May or beyond..
I'm not that excited.

It was a blocked nozzle/hot end or what ever part is blocked, I have some third party stuff coming tomorrow where I can change a nozzle....
I'm kicking myself I didn't buy the multi colour option, oh well.

The coffee was good.....
Been a slow week so far with out any of the Toodles being here....
Time to practice my snoring 'n' snortin'..

Even if the spools are wrongly wound. Or are such spools just left aside.
You order the material which comes with spools, but you need to print your own. Does not compute...
Larger spools available then.

T'weren't yesterday or today then, leaving only tomorrow for it to arrive.
Great package tracking system though. You'll have to give them that. Four british pounds a suitable reward/compensation for a late delivery?
Not something you could get excited about to be honest.

You have spares to replace the parts that failed you, or will cleaning be your option.
Multi colour option might have increased yer problems though.

You got yer cuppa then...
They may be lulling you into a false sense of security. Catching you off guard when you least expect it. Be careful...
Practice yer snorin, haven't you had enough experience over the years. Yer sortin might be another matter.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of fresh orange.... :hello: :cuppa:

Busy mornings, off out to do some joinery type stuff..
Late brekkie..
Just about to have my first
That's not how I remember it starting. It'd stop the scurvy though...

What happened to yer lazy/quiet days that yer'd planned. Joinery type stuff sounds as though you could be busy.
Worth the wait?
First brekkie, cuppa...

Oops, worse than cutting heads off....
These would be much easier than having to wind the PLA onto an old spool plus it lets me use up old stock (mine) and then refresh with new 1kg spools. I only buy 1kg spools now, I did buy a sample batch of 250gms colours.
You get just over 300+ metres on a 1KG spool...

Think I told you the bloke I did the 'keys' etc for, won the section :eek:
I can now add 'By Appointment'

They are getting dangerously close to owing me some moolah.

I have spares arriving today they say, by road YES but a nearby depot
