X4, fun to see the amazing progress in both hobby and commercial 3D.
As to boats sailing... my casual interest is now just that, but my boat could have sailed into 3D printer development, so it holds the attention of this nostalgic retiree.
At one point in my life, I developed a non-wetting coating process for the face of ink-jet nozzle plates. That project was truly challenging, fun, and rewarding. I learned a lot from many talented people back then and miss those days.
When that employer told us "We don't like your kind" (manufacturing was leaving the country) I was sent packing and chasing jobs like a lemming following a nerd herd.
Punch line- I interviewed with Stratasys in about 1993? when they were young. They needed help keeping their "nozzle plates" clean, same as ink-jet. I ended up on a different path but remain intrigued by 3D printing. Maybe I'll get into it on the hobby side one day but for now, I enjoy seeing all the stuff you're both sharing. Thanks for posting, even if it's a Pontiac forum...
