Not really much has happened since the last post. Payday rocked up!!!!! Ordered the parts for the 3d printer on the handy dandy Temu!!! (Budget to fuck, unsure the word upgrades could well be used or set up… 🤷♂️ I shall be posting once completed and keep sharing the journey to see an absolute monstrosity of a budget 3d printer set up) Have they turned up yet??? Fuck no! Eager to receive them, once they do, set it all up, give it a test run and start printing some Xmas presents for people. The only thing I have managed to find to print for the kids is a Nutella sweet dispenser. I have managed to find a couple of things for them toy wise thankfully. Mainly on Temu, (I know, live off it) found things that I enjoyed when I was growing up. Good old Temu!!! Adults are slightly easier, simple download and print. I’m trying out lithoprints lamps shades, and a nice chess set and board as I found a really good one to make using an fdm printer with single filament.

Side news, I started rugby training again, had a first game Saturday (we won), banging the first half, till knob rott injured himself! Damaged ligament in the knee. Beautiful bit of kit!!! It could have been a lot worse if the player who was tackling had his weight on me 🙏 the sprain happened prior, as I went down like a sack of shit crying like a little bitch! The past two days was not eventful, I needed a set of crutches to help me get around the flat. Living on your own, unable to move, is definitely recommended!!! 👀👀 Had to take a trip to the old accident and emergency room, get it checked out. 7 and half hours later, I saw food and drink again! Kept me in the waiting room on a wheelchair, with the brakes on! I’m so glad I didn’t need a toilet! Day three of injury, finally able to put weight on it again. Still need the old cripple sticks to help ease the pain. I don’t want to be too eager. I want to get off them asap. Using plenty of ginger to the knee and drink as ginger is good for inflammation and as you know, ligament pain.
Since the injury and last post, life came to a bit of a standstill really. Shame it’s a rather short one. Preparing for the rugby game and elf factory, fail to prepare, prepare to fail. 3d printing, seems like a constant preparation! Once I have this all set up, I will then need to find out the next challenge that creeps up. I’m going all out on this 3d printer. I may have got a bargain on the price, it definitely isn’t play sailing. Still smashing overtime, (not as much) to help set up this 3d printer. Sit Cosy (preferably without an injury) where I can let it print! It’s healthy to throw yourself in the deep end. I learned so much from doing so. It can be highly frustrating, as obstacles do appear and not able to afford to deal with them right away.
