We’re closing early today - so, we won’t be available by phone, but you can still DM us here or Google (we do not check or answer texts).

… 2 last minute cancellations and 2 no shows.. we’re taking the rest of the day off.

We just got a last minute cancellation for tomorrow at 11:00 if anyone wants it.

I know I’ve told probably 50 people this week “sorry, we’re booked”, but I don’t keep track of who those people are.

If you want it, first come first serve for appointment (assuming it’s a vehicle that fits in the 2 hour time slot).

Someone out there may as well experience a little schadenfreude at our expense…

UPS (who was great.. unlike the other people) delivered this new “gaming computer” that we have to have, capable of running the hardware here without crashing. 2TB hard drive, 64G RAM, Intel i7, etc etc. Basically, not your average laptop from the electronics counter at Target. Not a $10k device, but definitely not a $500 utility laptop either.

Immediately opened it, knowing it might need a few software updates.. will let it run while we work.

It’s a brick. Straight out the GD BOX! … only option is return it and “we’ll refund you within 3 weeks” and now buy ANOTHER computer while waiting for the refund on the first one. AmEx is going to really love us this month.

0/10 ⭐️ for a Thunderobot Storm laptop.

Jesus what a week…

I’m absolutely blown away by the amount of work and attention to detail that it must have taken to do an 8th gen Impala taillight conversion! Simply amazing.

So, we’ve caught FedExcuse lying.. again.

While I’m normally a believer of Hanlon’s Razor, which says “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.", at this point, I’m leaning towards malice. Or theft, specifically.

We have an open investigation with FedEx as to the location of multiple “missing” high dollar items. The FedEx delivery system is being loaded with false information and FedEx CSR’s have corroborated that they don’t understand it either.

Eg, the Rep just told me “we don’t deliver on Sundays” (I already knew this) but as you can see below, they show an “attempted delivery” at 8:50am on SUNDAY.

Then, they made no attempt Monday (tracking alludes that they did, our cameras prove they didn’t) . Tuesday rolls around and no show, even though it’s “on the truck”. Today is Wednesday and supposed attempt #4

We call at 4:30p. The CSR slips and tells us that she can see it’s NOT on a delivery truck - but IS on A truck.. that isn’t doing deliveries.

They obviously won’t give me direct contact info of whoever is in charge (that’s fine.. we know WHERE to go… we can show up).

They’ve lied about delivery for 3 attempts now.. today would be #4. Additionally, we supposedly have multiple deliveries today - on multiple FedEx trucks today. Yeah, no. I’m convinced someone is angling for a “return to sender” and at that point, the boxes vanish into the system. Someone googled the content info that’s printed on the boxes and had an “oh sh*t!” moment.

Yeah.. I know, that’s wildly conspiracy theory level paranoia and I hate it too… but given the history of the local FedExcuse hub, prove me wrong.

Anyone want a coffee table thing? Video - because it makes more sense to see it work than just 2 photos.

Bought it for the waiting room years ago…ended up never using it and now it’s been wasting space in the break room.

Come get it. No, I won’t hold it. No I won’t deliver it.

Once again - we ask for community advice.

Turns out… every time we ask, someone out there gives some solid insight to whatever issue of the moment we’re looking to solve - so here we are again.

Who’s a 3D guru? Is it you? If so, what would be your most desired machine?

Creality K2+? PRUSA 1? Bambu P2S or H2D? Anycubic? Other suggestions?

Ignoring cost, a machine that would work well at producing prototyping faster than us building foam bucks.

Having to use slicer and glue or key lock parts together is fine, but within reason. I don’t want to glue 40 chunks of plastic together when I could do it with 3, so the larger bed is a plus. I see some have as high as 400x400, but “only” 300x300 is fine.

Speed isn’t a huge concern, this isn’t mass production of finished gadgets and widgets..

This is being used with 3D scanner of course. We have baseline parts to copy and then heavily modify before turning them into mold plugs for layup in carbon.

So! For those in the know, what’s your “OMG bro, this machine! THIS ONE! If I could get this one, it’d be epic!” ?
