Look at the first 3 words of what I quoted. That was my point...

This turned on Thursday -



Got it built, just need to calibrate it now

What was the build time like?

[jimmyjimjim]

What am I going to make? No idea. Toys for the kids, probably. Lots of things on thingverse.
I've been putting some time into learning fusion 360, last having touched CAD 24 years ago.

Build time was probably about 7 hours, with 2 hours of troubleshooting and calibration so far.

Cool.
Hope the kids enjoy it as much as me....

I succumbed.
It reached its goal in 1 hour!

Which option did you pick? I went with genius, my kids will be 7 and 9 at Christmas.
The electric one whilst tempting was a touch rich.

Maybe not strictly necessary but brightened my day:

I went for the Pioneer, though I feel I’m going back in for the electric motor add-on!

I got an Early-bird "Smart" kit...

I already got told off by the missus, but I did announce it as "don't worry, I've bought the kids' Christmas present"...

[Bullett]

I did the same. I got the kids a christmas present, it's like full size mechano.

She didn't ask how much.

Does it do /say anything? Where did you find that as well?

[Lazermilk]

I just googled it and found this website, dangerous website to go on but may contribute some new purchases for the thread if people click it

https://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/trump-troll-doll/

Im currently scrolling through the 'Whats new' section and lots of cool things there!
SistersofPercy may want to avoid it, real piece of the millennium falcon, Hans solo blaster and rideable electric tie fighter are a few of the cool star wars things I have seen... not cheap though!

But walking isnt frivolous and takes three times as long, it was 4 miles in total twas a return journey.

Not remotely frivolous, i use mine probably every other day, just this morning i unicycled back the two miles from kwikfit after dropping the wifes car off, and the back to pick it up later car on great for nipping to the local shop on too. I have had my Solowheel extreme i think about three years now.

First impressions after a couple of hours : it's brilliant!

That’s good progress, I’m sorely tempted; must resist......

2 miles? I would walk.

I believe Mr. Prusa beat me to that. I've printed a whistle and a benchy so far, along with some parts for making a printer enclosure.

I'd say that was ridiculous rather than frivolous.
