Thanks everyone for all of the support and patience!! We recently lost my mother in law, and I had a heck of a time getting the generic PETG to "work" so the improved versions that were promised took a lot longer than intended.

I guess I deleted the "old" files, and I apologize if it caused any inconvenience.

The STEM contest is still active so I loaded the Constellation Map Wall Art just this evening, and I plan on uploading the Clock tomorrow. Then I can hopefully get to making my automotive parts and loading some of the projects I have done.

As usual, please feel free to leave constructive criticism or comments on any of my projects.

Thanks again,

To those of you who "liked" and downloaded my first two uploads, I want to first thank you and second apologize. I did not realize some of my settings and tolerances were off between design and slicing. I want to be transparent and afford people the opportunity to be happy and excited and satisfied with the files I upload, and I highly doubt that will happen with those. I am in the works of re-designing both and will try to get them uploaded as soon as possible. I also made sure to label the originals as "DO NOT USE" and wrote brief notes as to why.

Thank you for your patience!

I am "new" to the 3D printing universe, but I have been a follower for a long time. It finally became a goal of mine that I was able to achieve and I am full of energy!

My drafting skills came naturally when I began drafting in Freshman year of High-school (yeah, it was on paper and by hand). By the end of the year AutoCAD had become affordable as well as the PC's to run it so that was my natural next course. I should have continued with it into college, however my procrastination and fear of what I perceived to be a "lack of creativity" compared to my peers, caused me to drop out after only two semesters.

I love designing many kinds of projects. I have never tackled electronics (boards), and I don't love Mechanical (HVAC, Plumbing). I am looking forward to designing my own custom suspension for a vehicle build I have just begun. That's truly why I decided to just "pull the trigger" and subscribe to a suite of programs and delve into 3D filament printing.

Like a lot of people, I do tend to do the whole "rabbit hole" when it comes to research, but sometimes it helps. I was able to learn many things, as well as pro's and con's in advance which so far has made my experience smoother overall. If I could just get the filament to stop binding... LOL! (Yes I am working on that and I think I have cured it.)

Maybe it goes without saying, but I am also fluent in metal fabrication and woodworking. There are already a few projects on my plate that will incorporate two or all three of these, and I am definitely hoping there will be more! Another reason I think my skills, hobby, joy or whatever you want to label it, could bring me a small income as well.

I would love to continue to create things people want, and at some point hopefully I will be able to "market" my skills and maybe make some income doing something I actually enjoy.

Thanks for going on this journey with me,
