I cut down 2 trees and made a bench out of the tree

Another rocket time, this one was a pain. There really wasn't a good way to attach the boosters to the main rocket, all the designer did was make a shim. Getting it to balance while the epoxy set was a chore.

I made a dial indicator mount that fits my quick-change tool post on my lathe. I can check an od or face runout with it.

That's really handy.

Those photos make me miss being a machinist. I really enjoyed running a lathe and a mill.

I missed it until I got my machines. We used to do "government work" at my old job but, I'm retired now. I've had the mill for a few years and I got the lathe last Oct. After you make some items that save you hundreds of dollars, you get over the sticker shock of buying it.

While I mostly use my printer for "toys", you can make a surprising amount of useful stuff with them. Helps if your a better CAD draftsman than I am.

Maybe it was. I made them to match the dimensions he posted.

To the gentleman that was asking me about 3d printed objects that could handle being left in hot cars, I printed a material today that can do it. It's called ASA and is a derivative of ABS. It's UV stable and doesn't start to lose cohesion until 96 degrees C. What I printed with it was a spare piece to go on my printers hot end, it's proximity required ASA.
