My wife likes turtles. This model scales well, prints fast, and has a decent level of detail. I think it'll be my go-to quick test print.

We love turtles too. I actually raised some baby alligator snapping turtles when I was a kid, we used to catch tadpoles to feed them.
Can you provide a link to the STLs online?
I think my wife would love this too.
I'm in northern Cali this week. So I might see it. 
For accel, I used this one because I'm lazy, and wanted a USB one instead of serial or other comm bus.

Happy travels, say hi to my kids for me, both live up there. One of my son's said there was actually snow in the beach in San Luis Obispo in the last week or two. Bring your skis. 
Regarding accelerometers, you two show offs may have prettier ones, but I guarantee mine will have the most amazing globs of solder.

Woohoo!!
Finally got it cleaned, reassembled (was delivered with a sandwich bag full of bits and pieces) and doing something besides puking melted plastic everywhere.

Since I'm using them as magnets, I slice off the bottom 1 mm to give it a flat belly. No supports. The smallest one from my picture is the normal size. The largest (silk blue) is scaled up 200%.

Dad gum...trying to install numpy (following here: Measuring Resonances - Klipper documentation) and getting a persistent error from the get-go. From the error text below:
- Non-user install because user site-packages disabled
Haven't found a clear fix from Googling...can you (or any pi/linux-user) help? Something in my configuration seems to need adjusting.
:~ $ sudo ~/klippy-env/bin/pip install -v numpy
Using pip 20.3.4 from /home/pi/klippy-env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)

It seems like it is installed from below, correct? So I guess above is a verbose way of saying "It's already installed." Correct?

It’s part of the Klipper Mainsail default install these days so you should just be able to add the config lines and be good to go.

Thanks for confirming.
I need to get some of these guides to update their videos and instructions to include that information.
I'm glad you guys weren't here to see the soldering, it was a horrific disaster. My understanding is that the EPA is dropping by later today to talk about turning my garage into a superfund site.

Testing! (Resonances, I mean.) 
Noiced this along the way...coincident to the changes for the testing or ?
Should try "soft" first, and then "hard?"

I've never seen that before and have no idea. 
Soft recovery is usually safest.
I just finished another Retro Upgrade project - this time I replaced another laser cut case with a design I remixed.

It looks much better on my Apple //e Platimum now imo.

Loved playing Lode Runner back in the day.
Played on a C64 though.

I played it on my Tandy 1000 EX back in the day, still one of my favourite games.
Geez, that looks like OEM. I am definitely not going to show that to my wife otherwise she's going to ask me why I can't print stuff like that.

Yeah it's really weird and I've had a lot of trouble finding out more about it googling all over the place. Strange.
You could print this, there’s nothing difficult.
