🌱 Craft a Little Joy | Daily Check-in Season 4

Recording some craft tutorials on print then cut, as I still get heaps of questions regarding this. But first, cup of coffee to start the day and then a walk with my doggo. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I got grounded from ā€œlikesā€ again. I’ve had to work at 5AM. I’ve been so tired I felt a little drunk all day yesterday. :joy: Gave my coworkers some free entertainment though. I’m working on a few basic things but I might have an opportunity to sell in another store front in my area and I’m renewing my current agreement in the other store. I need to get so much done but kinda excited to try some new things. Hope you all have a very blessed week! :purple_heart:

Day #25:

Today was all about maintenance and giving the machines some much-needed attention. Not the most glamorous part of crafting, but definitely one of the most important.

I spent time swapping out blades and refreshing mats on the cutters, which always makes a noticeable difference in cut quality. There is nothing better than seeing clean, crisp cuts again after dealing with a dull blade. I also did some routine upkeep on the 3D printers, cleaning things up and adding fresh lube and oil to the rails and moving parts to keep everything running smoothly and consistently.

On the laser side, I installed a new exhaust fan, which should help improve airflow and keep things a bit cleaner and safer in the workspace. It is one of those upgrades that does not always get immediate attention but makes a big impact over time.

Days like today might not produce finished projects, but they set the foundation for everything that comes next. Well maintained machines mean fewer issues, better results, and a lot less frustration when you are in the middle of creating.

I just did 3D printer maintenance as well. It isn’t the most glamours part of crafting, but it is a necessity.

@BellethehowtoGuru @Cory_Barger, do 3D printers need a lot of maintenance? Is there often a lot of cleaning involved?

Had to admit my Dad at the hospital due to excessive nosebleed. It’s like the running faucet when his nosebleeds. It seems his blood thinning maintenance meds is making it difficult for his blood to clot so the usual cold compress and pinching the nose doesn’t help seal the wound. Praying he gully heals already gets discharged tomorrow :pray:

Thank you Lord for waking us again this morning. You are so so so good. Woke to sunshine & a threat of 80 degree weather. Hopefully we don’t skip over Spring yet again this year. Praise music blasting while I sing at the top of my lungs which always raises the energy in our home. Have an AMAZING day everyone!

Day 29: No crafting today. Going for a hearing test … more than likely hearing aids and getting the puppy clipped. I’d rather be crafting!!!

Only if your print fails and makes a mess. You also needs to grease it every now and then and scrub the build plates to make sure things adhere right. I know you didn’t ask me but I hope this helps you.
