My stilts that I'm building the C1 on are oak.  The holes I modeled to mount to the standoffs, and already printed 9 of 12 parts like that for, are 3mm. In other words, I need #4 screws, and short.

I only had #6 and up screws.  So... I made the 25 minute drive to the nearest town with 'screws' today.

Did I mention my household internet connection involves the use of a 90 foot pine tree?  This is not a technology friendly location, unless I brought it here myself.

But.. I do have to say, this place is really great for maintaining focus.  Perhaps I should do that now.

I spent a good deal of time revising the parts for the C1 to consume less filament, print faster, and not lose any strength in the process.  These would have taken 3 hours before... now, an hour.

Nine of 12 parts done.  These three more, then I'll have something to show you.
