Nice!

My wife would be a lot more excited if I could actually print something instead of spending all my time "fixing" the printer..

LOL, since my wife was the one who introduced me to stereolithography and laser sintering in the mid 90s (bringing me home jet engine valves from Honeywell), I'm not sure there is a part I can design and print that would maker her happy.

I was considering printing flowers.

The Honeywell in South Bend? Are we neighbors?

It's amazing how many hours you can spend making test cubes, isn't it?

I so thought this was going a different direction.

Foshon: Wow. LOL. I suppose that will go under a 3D resources page (fun things to print?).

Sherri was at Honeywell in Phoenix, first as a APU repair and overhaul mechanic. Years later, she's GM at Precision Engine Controls (owned by UTC) in San Diego. They make actuators for turbines (fuel/exhaust/gas controls).

The closest I've come to living in Indiana was a stint at Howe Military School. That was enough, thank you.
