I went on a ski trip with a bunch of friends this past week and it was so much fun.

Now I'm home and my in-laws are visiting. We plan on driving to Pennsylvania tomorrow to visit more extended family over the weekend.

I got a 3D printer delivered yesterday, a Prusa Core One+. I started to assemble it today and I'm looking forward to being able to print things!

Congrats on the 3D printer! I find those things very exciting, but unfortunately I lack the time, space and tech knowledge to justify getting one. New gadgets can always be inspiring and spark some joy though. I was boring and just got a mini filter coffee machine for myself to finally get away from instant coffee powder ๐Ÿ˜…

This will be a new hobby for me which has been a long time coming. I've wanted a 3D printer for at least the past 10 years. I've used the one available at the library a few times but decided it was time to get my own.

Sounds like an excellent coffee upgrade!

New hobbies are great and I'm sure it'll nicely support your other hobbies. There are plans available for razor holders and I guess there should be similar plans for RC plane parts and accessories. Great investment ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

And I hope it'll be a way better way to make coffee. I also have a french press, but while that coffee tastes way better, it irritated my stomach. The filters should take care of that now. Only cleaned the machine today and gave it two test runs with just water as recommended in the manual.
