Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Sadly I can't go to a steakhouse and get steak. Granted, I'm not huge on steak to begin with, but I have a severe intolerance to fatty meat. So most pork products, ground beef if it is not lean, brisket, and steak cuts that are high in fat are an absolute no-go for me
I hear you.
I'm on a very limited diet so I totally understand my friend.
 
I had the Bambu and the FlashForge originally along with an Ender V3 on my shopping list. Hoping it’s the right one but really for the kids to print stuff. One had a school project the other day with animal cell structures and would have been great for that.
The K2 is a really solid printer. It is a great choice. I think you will be really happy with it. By the way model railroaders and reefers both use 3d printers a lot so don't let the kids have all the fun.
 
a 3D printer has been on the shopping list for about 2 years. just never sure which one would fit in best. what modeling program do you use? might as well download something now and start playing with it to show the kids in a couple months.
I believe @tbrown uses Tinkercad as well. It is very popular. I tried Tinkercad several times but could never wrap my head around it. I use Fusion 360. I think different people will find different programs more intuitive for them.
 
wanting to get the P2s that just got shown
I agree. The P2S seems to be about the best bang for the buck right now. I really like Bambu Labs printers, I just wish the company wasn't locking everything down. I half expect that if China and the USA every get to open conflict the Bambus will just stop working.
 
Im really enjoying everyone's hunting pictures, and stories. The lady that owned the land that I hunted on left the land to her great grandkids and they are selling it. Im bummed out. Honestly, I thought I could get some of you guys out there with me one day soon.

It was an old homestead in the Mississippi River Delta with the original house on it. Sometimes I'd go find there old buried trash piles and find cool old glass bottles.

I killed dozens of deer out there. Oh well, I'm living through all you other hunters. Go get em friends.

We found a ram about an hour ago but he went behind a ridge. Trying to pick him back up now!

Awesome Tim! I hope yall run him down brother. I love the terrain. Never hunted anything like that before.

Haven’t brought out the train stuff in a long time. But I’m sure I can find a few things there. Could probably print a whole building.

Funny, I have the exact opposite condition. If I eat lean meat I immediately breakout in despair. I treat this condition by eating ribeye, short ribs, prime rib, pork roast etc. 😉

I’ll check Fusion 360 as well. I have a Mac so I’ll see which is friendlier.
 
Si es muy Bien. When I'm home I'll test the water again.
Please speak in English so Luis and Amanda can understand, thank you. 😉
