When P1 = R1: The Cost Of Prototyping - When you only have one shot at building it, you kinda wanna get it right the first time. What are some strategies to do that? When to recognize that prototyping may be cheaper than computer simulation, and when it is not.

Thoughts On Process Tuning - How many variables do you control? Is it really optimal to change only one thing at a time when searching for the optimal process (not product)?

Another McMaster Catalog Giveaway - Yes, we are doing it again, this time with the donation of FOUR yellow books.

Polyvinyl Acetate: It's Not Just For Elmer - For the first time, I experimented with PVAc, as supplied in the Bambu Lab "glue". I was pleasantly surprised, and came up with a way to use it without guesswork.

More On IR Temperature Measurement - Yeah, Doug's right. There is more to it. Reflectance, Absorbance and Transmission. What's it all mean, and why do we care after we spent all this money on cool instruments?

ChatGPT: LLM, Yes. Expert System, No. - It's not a panacea, and it also should not be ignored. It's a useful tool when used properly. We explain simply, and proceed cautiously.
