Apartment: 0; Weekend: 1

It was a wonderful, wonderful weekend surrounded by fucking awesome people...

...but now I am facing a long day of cleaning ahead. Time to plug in the speakers and let music motivate me into picking up the paint and plastic explosion surrounding me.

Chris' 3D printer arrived Thursday night....he was awake until 9pm Saturday tinkering around with it. Of course.

That there heart is one of the designs we printed up in standard ol' ABS plastic.  Yes, it IS a heart made out of 8 working gears. Gotta give credit over to some folks at Thingiverse for being amazing enough to have originally designed it, but we have lots of (mostly insane) ideas of our own. More to come on that....

In the meantime, check out what happens when 3D printing goes terribly wrong:
(and then you run to the hardware store in the rain to buy paint to cover it with)
