Spent the last few days on vacation in sunny Palm Springs. I thought I was going to post while on travel however I wasn't set up the best. I did miss posting since it provides me with a way to both summarize my day but also come up with a plan for the next day.

Was able to make it to Joshua Tree National Park which was the highlight of the trip. It's places like this when I wished a had a nice DSLR camera (however I thought the same about my GoPro and that sits collecting dust more and more). Maybe I just need to find a add-on lense for my phone.

Tonight was spent updating to Repetier 1.0.2 (Mac) 3D printing software which turned out to take a little longer than expected since there where some new fields so fill out and settings to confirm. I didn't see an obvious change over version 0.56 however I only used it to post/print the same bottle opener I have been making.

I don't know if/when I am going to try out Cura 3D printing oftware since I have spent so many years using Repetier with my Printrbot. It seems like the Monoprice community uses it exclusively.
