Happy Saturday all! I’m growing corn for the second year in my little raised bed and I’m trying it from seed this time. It’s mostly gone well and some of them are to the point I should cull them down to one sprout a spot, but I was wondering if it would be feasible to transplant the second highest stalk on each to fill in spots none of them sprouted from. If so, any tips on the process?

A buddy’s been hosting a board game birthday for ten years now and I wanted to bring some fun printed stuff. Have trophies for the most and second most wins, plus the green one for him as it’s his favorite color, and one for whomever plays the most games that day. Also printing out assorted little meeple with the ten/X on them.

I just stumbled across this app that uses a QR code in the center of the table to align itself, and then puts AR guides up to help lay down your objectives and terrain. Tested it on my kitchen floor because I was too lazy to get the table set up, and it works creepily well! Has all the different terrain layouts in it, big recommend as of now.

So far I’ve:
-done some dishes and laundry.
-taken a nap on the couch without being molested.
-walked to the library to see if there are any fun looking books, at a reasonable pace, without stopping for sniffs every 30 seconds

(Except for July, where there was zero time, womp womp)

I mostly loved my K1 Max but could not get the x-axis dialed in properly, so any time I tried to print anything with a circle it would come out a bit lumpy. I'd sold my CR-10 and upgraded because I was tired of the constant tinkering and just wanted a tool that, while it will need maintenance and the like, would mostly just do what I wanted. Also my BIL got a P1S and I was hugely envious of the AMS system haha.

Luckily a buddy was looking to upgrade as well and is buying my K1M off me so I ordered a P1S and just got it set up today and.....it's just working and I'm so happy. Benchys between the two look about the same, although the textured build plate gives a nice bottom layer, but I printed a couple trinkets my wife likes to hand out at Disneyland and it's just night and day better quality.

I'm sure I got a bit unlucky with the K1M and lucky with the P1S but it was amazing just printing stuff and it came out fine the first time.
