smartphone prevents boredom

I am waiting at the physical therapist and this let's me catch up on exciting email, including federal judge overturning federal ban on interstate handgun sales.  Another victory for Alan Gura.

things you find when you're filling orders

I was filling another order and discovered that I had some of the parts required to complete the order that I was doing 3d printing for. They were incomplete and I have to a little bit of trimming to get them to the right length.

First 3D Printed Articles

This was printed in PLA 100% infill.  Stiff, nice finish.  The real test is drill and tap.  My design has one wrong angle, so if I use for production; I have to make one cut.

UPDATE: At least for the 8-32 holes, drilling and tapping went well.  The legs ended up 0.7% wider and 3%  rhicker than drawing.  Perhaps a quirk of how PLA cures.

Drillin and tapping worked well.

Bloomberg Admits What Gun Control Is About

From the Aspen Times:

Bloomberg claimed that 95 percent of murders fall into a specific category: male, minority and between the ages of 15 and 25. Cities need to get guns out of this group’s hands and keep them alive, he said. 

“These kids think they’re going to get killed anyway because all their friends are getting killed,” Bloomberg said. “They just don’t have any long-term focus or anything. It’s a joke to have a gun. It’s a joke to pull a trigger.”
