I like to make toys, hunting and hobby gear, and garage organization stuff. No plans to print farm and sell dragon eggs at the farmers market.

I currently run an elegoo neptune 3 pro. It has been remarkable for a $225 machine... but I am getting frustrated at its speed as well as the machinations required to run it or do anything even slightly complex like a 2 color flat sign... all the time and tinkercad and BS aligning models etc.... SD card back and forth. I feel like I will use this tool a ton more if I am doing a 3 hour print vs 15!

I want something that will cover me for a few years.... open my horizons to multi color a bit.... and ideally but not a deal breaker, multi material.

The U1 hits all that... as well as having much less waste. I have no current plans to do any ABS or engineering stuff... but could do it with a vent and a jerry rigged or bought hood for the U1... I have watched TONS of videos on both.

What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

I am redoing my master. We have a single sink vanity, in today's stuff it would be one sink base with a drawer base on each side. I am looking at a 5 or 6' complete unit depending on what dear wife chooses. I am debating buying a freestanding vanity unit or doing some RTA and getting a countertop and sink made. The rub on buying a unit that is a freestanding furniture style is that it terminates on one side into a corner... But would love to hear what companies you have used for either product. My algo on google etc. is now flooding me with options after searching a few times! TIA!

Jalapeños. Over a couple nights. Leaves and peppers eaten. I don’t see any hornworms. What else could it be? Rats? Squirrels? Bunnies?

Damage was high on the plant. I am in 9b. Plant is in a 5g fabric.... had good fruit set. I. bought a UV to hunt for hornworms tonight....

My boss has tasked me with finding some robust commercial products to try and add some experiential lighting to an outdoor venue. We have an event space/catering operation in a redwood grove. He wants to recreate something like this... But everything I am seeing is very halloween crap consumer grade. This will be a permanent outdoor installation... I just dont know what this gear is called to be able to spec a draft out to him. When push comes to shove it will be a pro install... I just need to get him in the zip code asking for the right products! any help?
