Ok, I had to do the long one over but I corrected the CAM and it worked this time.

My mistake was thinking I could mill a slot 7/8 in deep in oak, even using 1/8 stepdowns. When the chips couldn't escape, they grabbed the up-cut spiral bit and pulled it down. I should have used an extra roughing pass to create space around the bit.

The bit had slipped by 6mm during the last pass. Possibly it had slipped more before that. When it broke there was less than 8mm of the bit held by the collet. Yikes!

Things were going so well until suddenly they weren't.

Print quality and accuracy are MUCH better than where I started, though. This material will be great for FRC robotics season.

I bought four spools of Polymaker ASA CF filament and I'm trying to dial in a profile for it. Along the way I'm finding potential issues with belt tension on my Prusa Mini. So I've been tweaking things and reprinting these califlowers all day. At this point I've printed half a 500g spool!

Damn, we lost a real icon.

I'm new to Atomoxetine. Any of my contacts here have any experience with it?

Tomorrow, tomorrow, there's always tomorrow.

I just picked up a new prescription for ADHD. So I guess I'm officially in the club now. The doc explained there are different meds and doses and this one takes weeks to take effect. So here's hoping we started with the right one.

Rehoming it makes it better but with that kind of variability I need a different approach. For one thing, I should be milling these long tubes parallel to the Y axis instead of X.

Yikes! The carriage has about 3/16 difference on left and right. WTF?!

One of my assumptions when I CNC things is that if I clamp against something the machine cut itself, my workpiece is aligned with the machine axis. But this is quite far off. The machine's homing must be causing this. And it's going to cause me a lot of grief now.

Proof of nap.

I got my COVID and flu shots yesterday evening. Today started off fine but the fatigue has now set in. Nap time.

Nice. The only way I'm seeing a sunrise is if you post one so thanks.

Those times really suck.

I don't know if it's supposed to be a surprise so I'll wait to reveal it later.
