First 3D print

That’s a 20×20 mm calibration cube. I just measured it with a digital caliper, and it was 20×20 mm… accurate to a thou! Crazy, considering that earlier this evening the timing belt would only advance in one direction along the x-axis.

Edit: for the non-technical, it looks just like a starburst. I’d post a picture, but I already ate it.

A plug for WebFaction

This is my first blog post on my new site hosted by WebFaction. So far, it’s an amazing hosting provider. It exemplifies Making Easy Things Easy & Hard Things Possible, and has one of the best pricing models I’ve seen. You can set up wordpress, drupal, joombla, django, rails, git, etc via a one-click admin page, but you also get ssh access (allowing you to install almost anything). If you’re looking for a new web host, check them out.
