The race to 1000 hours

Filed under, "You can't achieve goals if you don't have any", I want to hit 1000 hours on my machine by Jan 1.

I received my Max on June 25th - I believe my first successful print was July 3rd - As of this moment, I am currently at 871 hours and counting - which averages to about 5 hours per day of print time since I got it built.

So I've got about 11 days to print 128+ hours. I would essentially need to double my average for the next 11 days.

Totally doable.

My wife is not going to be pleased.

Wish me luck.

I am wishing you luck and to ensure you make it I asked the Lord to help you and not to look to see if you are worthy. :roll:
I'm sure your wife can stand you spending so much time with your printer, just explain why and then tell her that once your
goal is met you will take her to the best restaurant in the area to celebrate. (sometimes it works).
Luck be with you and knowing you the short time that I have, I have learned you are the type to not accept defeat.
