The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

He certainly can print up a Ghost Gun.

Yes! Our first one. And in kit form. It has a lot of parts that need to go together very precisely. My youngest daughter and I and going to learn all about it through the building process.

I have some parts for my other hobbies that I would like to print. I want to design a tone arm locking device for my new turntable that does not have one. I may do the DIY motion platform for the simulator rig and that requires some 3D printed parts, Helicopter parts, and just generally messing around with whatever comes to mind.

My daughter will be using it, mainly for her artwork.
