So along with a few other things I am doing on the side in trying to keep my mind sharp and wits about me I have decided to put things down that I am going to do.

This year in learning I am going to do the following.
Learn more 3D design for my 3D printer.(Possible minor source of income.)
Get my Licence for flying drones commercially. (Possible minor source of income.)
Learn video editing using Adobe Premiere.
Take 2 first aid classes. (Always good to have, If you can make holes you should learn how to patch them, IMO.)
Visit Thunder Ranch for more training that I have let slip. (Self explanatory.)


How about all of you out there. How are ya keeping the grey matter working to earn it's keep?
:lol: :mrgreen: :lol:

My son is talking sign language in college, I’d like to learn with him.

Enhance my cooking skills to bolster the more healthy diet I’ve started.

Blasphemy!

Beer is a gift from the gods for our hard work and devotion to the art of making all things with spirits.

Never a bad skill to have. You might want to look in to the building of P80's to give you a bit more of the make it work outside of the official channels. I know "I" have learned quite a bit by building my own. saved a few $$$'s too.

Good to learn a bit more.

You will have better luck having it printed by one of the big print houses and get more consistent results.

I recommend https://www.shapeways.com/

or

https://3dsourced.com/rankings/best-onl ... g-service/

that should get you someone near you and you are not limited by material types.

They are big and do a lot of printing. when I change filament I have to spend a day or 3 getting things working like they should be. pluss they have lots of colors, and materials. I generally work one color at a time. Done with blue now working in white! Next will be wood filament and new hot end. :)
