more than likely! :)

I need longer hours in a day, can anyone sort this out so we can get 30hr days please?
Gives me more time for doing CAD, building models, loading multiple printers with files and cleaning up finished parts etc

I think i am going to limit myself to 5 printers for end of this year. Anything more than 5 is being greedy hahahahahaha

I'm afraid you'll have to put things on hold for approximately one and a half billion years Will. I'm afraid I won't be able to promise you 30 hour days till around then :thumbup:

haha lol, do you mean because of the Earths rotation slowing due to the moon & other solar system forces? :)

I will just have to keep working hard till then and then update you if 30hrs days are what they are cracked up to be

Yep, funny thing is, there are sites talking about this recently like it's new knowledge, I read up on it long before we had the internet.
Them days they worked it out from sea shells that have been around for over half a billion years which have growth lines similar to tree rings.

Goulash Kanone or German Field Kitchen will be done over weekend.
Put the chassis together last night in CAD, now just working on the kitchen bit.

I am building as if it were a model Kit, But once i am done i will make a solid component that can be 3D printed.

Although i towing it behind a Ford V3000, not a couple of horses

I'd make it in Kit form - quicker to print if you don't have a lot of infill, and you'll better surface detail because you can orientate the individual parts on the bed so that the most detailed face is always pointing upwards :thumbup:
