Believe me, I understand what you mean. At least things are better at the moment. Long Thanksgiving weekend coming up next week will help.

That's really cool. How are you liking the world of 3d printing so far?

Great.. Still Learning but getting the hang of it.. am having Treading issues.. Screws and nuts do not just work and need to be sized up or down due to nature of plastic.. Wish there was a Plastic screw library .

It seems buying Nylon project screws might be a best answer . Or just print screws. then nuts without threads and TAP Them myself.

Thanks for asking..

I have used heavy duty zip strips for some projects. Would that work? One time I went all over town looking for a certain type of nylon nut and bolt. Then it hit. Duh. Zip strip.
