8 years as a paramedic and need a change.

I (31m) want to change careers, but I have no idea what to do and terrified with starting over.

I have been a paramedic for 8 years. I have worked on ambulances, oil rigs, military bases, and refugee camps. It’s been a fun ride but I don’t think it’s for me anymore. I make a decent living and that would be so hard to give up.
I’ve considered nursing and healthcare avenues to go into but I’ve also considered getting out of healthcare completely.
But with today’s economy and job market I’m terrified to start over. It’s tough enough finding a job with my experience I can’t imagine going into a new field.

I’d really appreciate any advice especially from other medics or people in similar situations.

Has anyone made print files for this gauge mount?

Looking for some print files for a Harley Davidson Softail digital gauge mount. Been trying to find something online but no luck.

Thank you in advance!

First couple of prints and feeling good.

Definitely need to invest in a dremel tool (just started 3d printing) but feeling good about progress so far. Big thanks to the people on this sub that were open to answering my questions.

Who is the legal owner of a 3D printed firearm?

I currently live in a state where it is 100% legal to 3D print a firearm for personal use. I do not have any intentions of making firearms for anyone else besides my best.

But out of curiosity how does the law define who “created” the firearm?
Is it who owns the printer? Is it who edits the print on the computer? Or who presses the print button the printer?

Thanks in advance!

Any suggestions on how to fix supports?

I adjusted my support settings to where the supports pretty much fall off but still leave behind this rough surface. Any suggestions on improving this?

Qidi q2
PLA plus

Support top Z- .30

What could be causing this?

First printer I’ve ever owned. Still learning the basics. Saw these weird “ripples”. Minor stringing as well.

Pla+ at 210c.

Thanks in advance!

Error code. Any suggestions?

My first printer ever. Have filament loaded into 1B. The first prints I did were the bench and torture test that came loaded on my Q2. The first print I I loaded from Orca Slicer and I get this message. Unfortunately the filament has a cardboard spool so I can’t move it to 1A.
Any suggestions or just buy filament with plastic spool and load it into 1A. Thanks in advance!

Yes I know. It’s not the lords caliber but it was a smoking hot deal and we all started somewhere. I’m looking to get a threaded barrel for my Springfield garrison chambered in 9mm. I’ve done research already without any results. If you have any recommendations please let me know!
