Today I set up the filament printer to print my son something for part of his Christmas present.

Self levelling bed and faster print speeds was a very nice bonus. Okay I printed at 0.2mm but instead of one bit and an IOU I got the whole thing done… even with a power outage and the aforementioned wound!

So I decided to use tree supports on my first attempt… one of them got knocked off somehow. So I stopped the print and foolishly decided to use a blade instead of a scraper to remove the supports that did adhere really well. Somehow my blade hand actually came back towards me, maybe a ricochet off a support, not actually sure… long story short…

What you can’t see in the photo is the fact it is straight across to the other side of my thumb too… I tried slicing that bit off!

So guess who felt like a right pillock!
