So I figured out why my prints were getting worse and worse. All my prints were skewed. Found that the rod bearing mount for the Y axis was in pieces. Made a temporary fix by switching it with another. And then another mount cracked and held that together with vise grips while I printed its replacement. Didn’t realize this printer had such poorly designed and thin mounts. But not anymore thanks to Blender3D #3DPrinting #3DPrinter #Blender3D #3DModeling #DIY #Repair

Dehydrated my ABS filament. It was start to print brittle and a bit bubbly. Used 170F for 5 hrs. Worked well #3dprinting

Everything was in bloom. But only for a day. #Cactus flowers a so beautiful but die so fast.

Finally bought the first batteries for the off grid electrical system. 4 x 6v 225ah batteries at 24v. This will be to give the generator a break and give up uninterrupted power 24/7. Over $700 for all four and I’ll probably need 16 of them eventually. #diy #offgrid #offgridliving #homestead #homesteading #school #academy #desert #mojave #mojavedesert #desertstoneacademy #battery #deepcyclebattery #solar #windpower

Bought a new trailer battery last week. Working great. The fridge and heater and water pump are up and running. Just charging with the generator for a couple hours every morning. Later with the electrical system it will be more efficient. But I can also run it off a bit of solar #trailer #offgrid #diy #desert #mojave #mojavedesert #desertstoneacademy #deepcyclebattery

Finished cleaning out the old container and started the new floor. This will act as storage first before it’s a shop as we build the homes in the other container. #diy #Construction #School #Academy #Desert #MohaveDesert #DesertStoneAcademy #Container #ContainerHomes #Shop #Woodworking #Guitars #luthier #Cleaning #SpringCleaning

Finally cleaned out this old burnt container. Now to build a new floor over it. This will be our started shop to fabricate guitars and more! #diy #desert #desertstoneacademy #mojave #mojavedesert #academy #school #guitar #fabrication #luthier #woodworking #shippingcontainer #shippingcontainerhouse

Finally got an ESP32. Found this development board with an OLED display and 18650 lithium battery holder. This board is basically two ESP8266 together with not only WiFi but Bluetooth as well. Yet an even bigger Arduino killer for way less cost. #diy #esp8266 #esp32 #iot #arduino

A mini shed just for the generator. I still need to install the fans and port out the exhaust. And install the out let for the rv, although it will be a temporary use. I also am going to use an Arduino to turn on the generator, it will take an on/off signal from the inverter when the batteries are low. Later everything will be ran through the inverted off the batteries. It will only be 6000w of power but plenty to get things going. #diy #offgrid #homestead #school #academy #desert #desertstoneacademy #mojavedesert #electrical #generator #contruction

Lots of high quality compost for a berm wall and more coming to cover the property and roads. And now it’s flattened and weeded. Ready to prep foundations. #diy #farm #homestead #desert #mojavedesert #desertstoneacademy #academy #school #contruction #tractor

Finally got a tractor rental going, but only for a day. Still got a lot of work done. Level the land and cleared the roads. #tractor #diy #land #desert #mojavedesert #homestead #farm #school #academy #desertstoneacademy

Finally put this Guitar Pedal together. It’s a digital effective using and Arduino Due by electrosmash which means you can program different effects. #guitar #guitarpedal #guitareffects #arduino #arduinodue #diy #programming
