OK, so I finally found a few minutes to catch up and locate this blog. While I’m overseeing Cory’s work, Matt is the real driver here, and I figured before I tried to call Matt and Cory and talk about progress, I should read the blog. Here I am. Here’s my news. I’ve been swamped with a VP-level search committee on my campus, reviewing 200+ resumes. Additionally, I need to do some touch-up work on my promotion application and keep pressing ahead with some side work for a book company. Thus, I’ve been off the radar for this project for a few weeks.
However, I did want to post and say hi, and that I wanted all of you to know that I ordered our CupCake CNC printer (3D printer) last week. Sadly, it’s still in production. Additionally, at the time they were out of additional plastic for the printer. However, the other day they restocked their plastics, and I now have 2 orders in with MakerBot (the printer and the plastic).
My plan is to assemble the printer here at home once it gets here. Hopefully, this will take place in the next 2-3 weeks. My former roommate is intrigued by the printer and has volunteered to help assemble the printer. Does Alleghany have theirs yet? How difficult was the assembly?
Once assembled, I’ll be bringing it to campus. Two colleagues already want to see it, one wants to use it in the Architecture class next semester. We’ll see about that. I’m not so sure I want to give it up so quickly.
More later. Sorry for being so out of touch.
