After an email exchange with Marcin, I am planning to push back the date of my workshop to 4-5 months from now. I'm thinking end of April/beginning of May for the event now. I have a lot of work ahead of me for the project but I'm excited to get started. :))

D3D Mega v23.05 3D CAD. - See Github link for most recent work. The CAD is coming along nicely now. I have four modules to finish - heated chamber, extruder, controller, heated bed. I am having an issue with my axes in the assembly - They each have a small square artifact that's visible and I don't know how to remove it. I think it has something to do with the belt peg model though because it didn't appear when I deleted that part from the assembly, but that's mostly a hunch. If anyone's here reading my log I'd love help on fixing the problem.

Also, I wanted to note that I've been building this assembly in the A2Plus assembly workbench in FreeCAD v0.21.1 as I could not for the life of me get Assembly2 to work in FreeCAD 0.16. I'm using OSE linux as my daily driver.

I've been putting work into consolidating the wiki's 3D printer documentation under the D3D Mega v23.05 project. My hope is that my eventual completion of the documentation including LOD 500 CAD will give others a launching point from which they can start distributive enterprises based on the D3D system.

I am planning to run a one day 3D printer workshop based on the D3D Pro V20.07. The tenative date and location is February 4th, 2024 in Port Huron, MI. I understand that I am free to run an independent workshop, but I am very interested in collaborating and continuing to contribute my work back into OSE's wiki. Following the workshop (or sooner, if my work on documentation procceds as planned) I am also planning to sell kits for D3D Pro, Pro 2, Pro 3, Universal, and the v23.05 Mega that I have been documenting. My long term goal is to be able to sustain my household from the income from this venture.

I am starting to get the word out now for the event. When I get a little spare cash I'm going to put a deposit down on the space so I can get out marketing materials and a website for the event.

My current roadblocks are my 40 hour job and my lack of startup capital, which also means a lack of a D3D Printer to practice on until I get my first ticket order for the event.

I have been inspired by the thought capture method of a "captain's log" seen on Eric Lotze Log so I will be documenting some of my thoughts on my work, projects, etc. here in my work log as I am so moved.
