Tag: Solidoodle

I am truly a lucky guy. For Christmas, I put a bunch of expensive stuff on my Christmas list, and Supermodel Wife pooled resources with her family to purchase a Solidoodle 3D printer for me. Even more amazingly, she convinced her parents and brother to split the cost with her, when they really didn't understand what they were buying. (Her dad later mentioned that he couldn't understand why a printer cost so much.)

Does my wife love me, or what! (This is the part where all of you guys post comments of how jealous you are of my amazing wife.)

The order was placed in late November and shipped mid January. It was shipped to her parent's house and they delivered it on Thursday. I documented the unboxing for posterity and thought I'd share it with the world. Continue reading Solidoodle First Impressions

I took the day off work today to run wiring in the new workshop. So, of course, Murphy decided to pay me a visit by delivering my new Solidoodle 3D printer. Supermodel Wife teamed up with her parents and her brother to buy me the printer as a Christmas/birthday/anniversary/father's day/etc. gift. She ordered it in late November but the lead time for manufacturing and shipping meant that I just today got it.

So, of course, that took me out of the workshop and into the house to try it out. I'll have more to post (including lots of pics) later.

The workshop wiring is coming along. I finished wiring outlets and lights. I need to run wiring for the air conditioner, drill some holes in the brick for exterior outlets/lights, and reroute wiring for existing lights. That last one's going to be a pain in the tuckus. Lastly, I have to run feeder cables from the main panel to the subpanel.

I hope to add to my progress this weekend.
