My 3D Printer Thinks I’m an Idiot (Telescope Edition)

I set out to 3D print a simple collimator sleeve for my Takahashi telescope. Easy, right? Wrong. My first three attempts were complete disasters — warped, cracked, and just plain useless. By the time I hit attempt number four, I was questioning my life choices (and my 3D printer’s opinion of me). Watch me fumble through failure after failure in true DIY fashion.

Ran a clay bird making workshop at my community studio today. A class of ten, including some young children. I love how the flock of birds all look together. Much fun was had by all participants!

When not everyone is as dedicated as you are, things inevitably slow down.
Managing that — or dealing with the stress of delays — is tough, and it takes real effort to stay grounded.

That’s why having a team that truly cares and takes ownership matters so much.
Not everyone is meant to be a founder — or someone who gives their heart to a project.

The more I build, the more I realize this:
Building a product solo is both really tough and incredibly fun.

The hard part? You have to deal with every single problem on your own.
The fun part? You get to decide exactly how everything works, from the ground up.

It’s on you to try the things you’ve been putting off learning — and to figure out what really works.
