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.

A Scalable 3DP Farming Module - A client's needs converged with KP needs, and 3D printing capabilities have expanded. And can expand more.

Thermal Imaging - A New Tool, Many Uses - An antenna-related project suggested that a thermal imager would be a good tool. Then we found many other uses. Do you have old wall warts with transformers in them? Yah.... tune in.

Big Machine, Tiny Tools - I was asked by a friend of mine to do a repair of a transaxle for his truck, in which a bolt had been broken off. Of course, the transaxle was less than three inches long.

Navigating Turbulence - A lesson from my flying history. Keeping the shiny side up and the rubber side down. Seems appropriate.

Countersinks: Oh, What A Relief It Needs! - I bought a set of countersinks that... well... sucked. So I learned how to re-grind them with my equipment, and learned a bunch. Then, I had a failure with a known-good one... and learned MORE!!
