And Then… Disaster Struck

3D Printer Issues
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01953

All last night I attempted to print something for Eva. The printer would print one layer and then nothing would come out. I was able to get the filament out once, reset the printer and print a baseline item, a scraper. It worked fine. Then I attempted to print the item for Eva again. It would not print.Then I could not get the filament out, it jammed up in the extruder (something I learned later).

This is what happens when I take things apart and try to get to the problem but cannot find it right away. Also, there are no manuals anymore that would show you an entire diagram of the product. Not even in a .pdf format. So I have to rely on YouTube videos and trial and error. I hope I can get this back together properly.

Mother's Day Brunch

Today we took Allison to Towne Tavern for a Mother’s Day Brunch. My friend Jack was providing entertainment to the venue. He performed many songs while we were there. We got there just as they opened but it was still a 20 minute wait to ge a table. Not terrible but I am glad we got there early. I asked to be seated close to the singer and well, they did that for us. We were practically on top of him.

So we ended up being that family that is all looking at their phones but that was so we could communicate through a group chat. We couldn’t hear each other talk but that was okay we had lots of laughs through the chat.

Eva got a traditional breakfast, Andy a pig pile omelete (bacon, ham, sausage and chorizo), I went with Chicken and Waffles and Allison got steak and eggs. Her steak and eggs were really good. the chicken and waffles were also very good but I did enjoy the stek a bit more.

Jack was very happy to see us there ad come to find out, he was a student of my mom’s back in the day. I hope that we can get to another of his shows, maybe not so close next time.
