Core One is still chugging along, working through more prints. So far, so good still. Just cleaning the bed with alcohol every couple prints. No issues at all. I've tried several test-style prints as well as random things I've had queued. Surprisingly good quality so far.
I have a webcam rigged up pointed at it watching through OctoPrint but that's not controlling it yet, still using PrusaLink. I think I want to get a new faster Pi or Pi-like device for this one first.
Been spinning different kinds of Star Wars silks on https://twitch.tv/MakerDeck lately...
The next Seattle-area MakerDeck IRL Mixer (for Makers, Techies, & Geeks) is set for *this* coming Monday - running alongside the Drink & Draw community! Join us for casual conversation and connections. I'm bringing a 3D printer with me this time. ;) Here's the invite link... https://www.meetup.com/makerdeck/events/306686385/
After a day of drying, the glue stick looks messy, but dry. Do I just print on this?
I can't get over how good this looks...
This beautiful 3D printed M4 Mac Mini case uses a 9.7" iPad panel for its display. It features the signatures of the original Mac Team embossed on the bottom. The designer, @jerrod also has a version that works as a display stand for the @trmnl e-ink smart display.

Ready for Jedi training on Dagobah (with the latest Star Wars action figure release from @Playactiontoys
Naturally I had to mess around with that luminous PLA. Here's the first print.
Considering a tool that I designed for my own use (a razor slide paper cutter) and went "Huh, this can't be used by the left-handed" before going "But I", dramatic Westley flourish "am not left-handed!"
This means that I have spent too much time watching The Princess Bride*.
*I don't believe "too much time watching The Princess Bride" exists
A quick test print with holes that are 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.4 (because I can't count) and 1.5mm in width. The goal is to find a sweet spot I can push a 1mm pin through - when you 3D print a circle, it's not exactly the width of the geometry; it'll shrink a little bit, so a 1.0mm hole won't actually admit a 1.0mm pin through it.
It looks like I nearly under-estimated it - 1.5mm seems like the goldilocks zone, anything lower would require significant force and it just needs to sit/hold.
Baron Harkonnen has some concerns about the velocity of this printer!
(I don't, he's fine)
These models are on a shelf at the top of a desktop rack sitting next to the printer. The desk is a VERY heavy solid wood old "teacher's" desk from a college surplus sale. I can only imagine how much a table with less mass would shake, but this is fine.
Especially since I don't plan on printing this fast, I'm just having fun to start with.
Got the CORE One all setup and printing. The out-of-the-box experience is great. So easy to lift, move, and unpack.
Took some time to get it all checked over. One pillar has a slight dent from shipping. There were some dings on the box but nothing major. Some of the nylon rivets popped out but there were a ton of spares.
Dent doesn't seem to be hurting it any. I worked most of it out just getting things put together.
It really moves fast! And shakes the table a lot.
For those with a G4 Cube, you can now light it up from the bottom with this little base, on an idea by @xodium :

It didn't take nearly as long as I expected for the Prusa Core One to get here once it shipped (Thursday in CZ/EU to Monday in US via FedEx, not DHL). Have a few more hours of work before I can crack it open, though. I can at least confirm that the handles on the box are as nice as people say.
I moved the old CR-10S to the car to be donated (tomorrow), so there is a large open space on a desk for it later.
Obligatory stupid/boring picture of a box.
Haha! It's indeed one of those days and @octoprint knows (I'm trying to understand a very specific extrusion behaviour, but that made me laugh.) #3DPrinting
The model was computed from 6825 Mastcam and Navcam images taken by the Curiosity rover in 2021.

Here’s the result of my little #airbrush (or better masking) session last night. It isn’t much, but it’s honest work. 
Today I had to clean my shop as I had a private #repairCafe at home. The FiL came with their bed frame which needed to be reglued. #StarWars #cosplay #3DPrinting #wip
Test cube looked great. Wow, I've forgotten the smell. Jellyfish keychain in progress and brick dice tower gcode ready to go next. (Do I really need another dice tower? No. Do I want one? Yes.) Also, I taught Gandalf my Cura profiles so I don't need to use my Mac at all to slice.
