    @D.Tibbitt I am using the bambu labs p1p. Depending on what size parts you need it would work. I have a friend that does 1:25 scale model cars and he wanted some coils and distributors printed. That had to he done on a resin printer cause they were too small for a good print. You might check out the elegoo centauri carbon. It just came out and it is only $299. You dont have ams capability and you will probably have to tinker more with it. Bambu there isn't much tinkering with. They just work

    10-4 I appreciate the info . I've been researching the bambu labs printers for awhile just hadn't pull the trigger on anything yet. I will check out the resin printers now as well, since i would be doing similar work as ur buddy. Printing small pieces like that

    I have good news winter haters. While I was out washing Mrs. Snackbar's sheep poop mobile, there was a large flock of geese heading in the general direction of north. Thankfully they didn't fly directly over her clean white Ram and add a calling card.

    Remember, even Dave went bankrupt...and now he is a syndicated radio/tv financial advisor. Prime example of do as I say, not as I do (or did).

    You can tell Alexa was programmed by a woman...I asked my wife where we were going for dinner, she was undecided. I asked Alexa "where does she (meaning my wife) want to go for dinner"? She replied "I'm afraid I can't answer that question".

    Our system has the mikes disabled, during our evaluation the Safety team go tired of listening to all of the singing and chatter and they found no real benefit as we are mostly concerned with phone holding while driving and lack of seatbelt compliance. I agree having the driver facing camera with the number of lawyers targeting trucks can be a silver lining when they can see you were facing forward paying attention and not doing anything dangerous when their client plowed into you.

    The downside is, if the driver IS doing something wrong, then they have video proof and it would be presented as evidence. What's the old saying, if it isn't on video then it didn't happen, or something like that.
