What about a column that shows what month/date a project was first made available?  I've gotten behind with RL and am not sure what I have and don't have. Thanks

You never really appreciate socks as a gift until you get older.

I think she may be friends with them. Not sure how. I haven't gotten all the deets yet. She has always wanted to do something like this, they asked and she said yes. Thanks for your kind words.

Well how cool is that. The band is fantastic, definitely not what I was expecting by the intro. I would be proud too. Does she know them, or is she looking for a career is acting, or how did this come about? Congrats to you both!

I'm beyond proud. This is something she has always wanted to do. And to think this young lady also served in Afghanistan. I'm beaming today.

BTW, shes the lead, girl in red.

Nip slips from what I can gather...

You can really stiffen it up by taking a small brush and "paint" acetone on the print. Don't glob it on. It will really smooth up the print and strengthen it.

Only works with ABS, PLA doesn't have the same reaction and as far as I know only ABS has that reaction.

I've only used PLA. Have never used ABS

I lied. I used ABS....Been to long since I messed with it.

I have a box of resistors and caps that I have organized and use for builds but I haven't ordered anything on a large scale in years and need to replenish my stock.

Does anyone have a document/list they use as a reference for what to order?

If so, you mind sharing it? If it includes switches and stuff like that, that is awesome.

I use this. Some stuff is probably miss-labeled. Sometimes I add to inventory and forget to list it. I also don't keep track of how many I have as I always order 4-10 of each item and 100 when getting resistors. Feel free to download and manipulate anyway you want. Hope it helps!
