I hope that’s wife approved…
Thankfully, I’m single.

Starting to understand how it works 
I made small cores with plaster of Paris and it worked amazingly well.

Easily accessible from the inside.
I considered drilling a hole in the battery cover to run the cable but the battery caddy inside had some holes on offer and acces through the rear 
So it was both tidier for me to do it that way and also I can unplug and put batteries back in if I want OR desolder.
If you mean back up power, then, yeah, there is a usb backup.
(and a mechanical key)
She’s overseas, but arrives back today…
I guess I’ll find out 
Nah, she’s a good egg, she’ll be fine with it.

NGL, the idea of designing and building an experimental aircraft that can break the sound barrier has been in the back of my mind for a while.
And yes the endurance of my bladder is going to drive many design decisions…

There was a guy in New Zealand who built a cruise missile DIY style years back. It kicked up some political dust, but I don’t think anybody would think twice today, seeing as how prolific drone tech has become.

I am not saying it was him, but I wonder if it was our resident AI

Look, you register the aircraft as an experimental and don’t show politicians it’s capabilities. You have to fly under the proverbial radar, while having the transponder respond to the secondary radar…
Similar vein…
If you manufacture a silencer yourself (legally, via form 1)
The only info asked is “caliber” and “length”
Serial number you generate yourself… and there have been some memetastic user designated serials
All that to say… they don’t know if the silencer you register is… steel, aluminum, fdm printed, resin printed
Hypothetically you make it using a resin printer as an all in one…
They would have no idea at a later date, that they aluminum and k baffle silencer, isn’t what the paper work is for, as long as it’s the same overall length… and the hole as at least big enough for the specified cartridge… nobody said you can’t make the bore extra forgiving lol
I don’t want to come out too definitively on this one, cause I just ain’t got the facts at my fingertips to back me up, but I think that was kinda the point. Build it, flaunt it, prove a point.
My point, and the reason I brought this up, is that was off the shelf tech from 20 years ago. 20 YEARS. Today, Now, DIY super sonic flight should be very achievable, and somewhat affordable to a reasonably self starting tech oriented enthusiast.

Shiiiiit, that was like 8 prints ago. Lemme finish this other print up and I’ll jam out another one.

Spiral vase mode (for anybody that doesn’t know) is a single-wall continuous print.

That feels a bit slow but I suspect that you’re running a higher than normal wall thickness as it’s often done with spiral prints.
You know full well that I meant something very different when I said that I wanted to be magnetic…
Anyone have a use for 50 solder mount 3032 battery holders?
They fit 30mm button batteries
I ordered the wrong ones.
Just modeled and printed this stand to hold my dock and laptop out of the way. It turned out better than I expected. Used 800g of filament at 15% gyroid tho.

I’d love to have more time and a bigger 3D printer to make stuff like this:
And I would definitely struggle with having to take it off eventually.
