It is. I think @Frimpong convinced me to finally pull the trigger. So far so good, she had a tough time in the cold veg tent but rebounded well and is definitely an interesting plant. The structure is crazy.... squat little plant that grew a hunch of uniform branching even with just one topping

Picked up the training clips from my buddy the other day. Haven't had much chance to use them yet but Im gonna try them out on some vegging plants soon. He made two sizes and said he can print them 20 at a time, so if they do well I'll have him make a bunch more to shareView attachment 54781

Are you paying for these??? The file is actually free. If you have a 3d printer you just DL and print.

No, my buddy has a whole wall of printers so he he just made them for me. I'd throw him some money for the plastic if I was having him make more, though I'm not even sure he'd take it. He gets so excited whenever anyone asks him to print anything lol

FYI you can get a decent 3d printer for $220.00 and it’s pretty easy to learn. It also has MANY uses.

Yeah, I don't have room for anymore toys lol. Plus for me it's tough to justify when this dude has a bunch of way nicer printers, lives 10 min away and feeds me beers while we hang out and he prints shit. He has a dope woodshop with a CNC router table too. So I can just ask him to make crap and not need to buy or maintain anything

Damn man, sounds like a man after my own heart. Here’s the thing I’m loving about this board. I’m usually the weird guy with a ton of off the wall hobbies (reloading, shooting, 3d printing, woodworking, etc.). Here instead of being odd man out. I’m one of many..... you guys just rock.

It’s a proven quality 3d printer. I have the Ender 5 plus. But I print figures and paint them (Did I mention I have a MILLION hobbies??? Drives my wife nuts!!) so I need the fine detailing, etc.

Painting figures eh? I may have dabbled.... I also have a million hobbies... my problem is I also have an 1100sq ft house and two kids so it's getting a little cramped

I have the reverse, 4 kids now out of the house, 3100 sq ft (4 kids need a lot of space.) Like idiots WW bought a house for 6 figuring one of the kids may come back or one of our parents will have to move in. Yeah...... none of that’s happening. I have a FULL woodshop just waiting to be put together and set up from dust collection - putting a 14” bandsaw together. I just can’t seem to get my act together. It’s either good Green keeps me couch locked or I’m just physically having a bad day.

Yeah I’m a bit of a fan boy when it comes to comic books. I collect, well I have over 30,000 books which I use now to make money off ebay from time to time. My wife complained loudly when I bought 80 of the same book from a convention promoter friend of mine for 100.00 in 2009 ( Astonishing X-Men #25 San Diego Comic-com sketch variant). I now sell them on eBay for 12.00 per book all day long. She doesn’t complain anymore. I shut her up by selling 30 SERIOUS books for 5000.00 and payed for a family cruise. NOW she looks at it like the stock market...??. I used to travel with the main east coast Comicon’s as a vendor. I know a bunch or people in the biz. It feeds my obsession.

No shit! My girl and I are huge comic book nerds as well, though my collection is a lot smaller than yours lol. She worked for a local shop for years and I worked a booth at Boston Comic Con and C2E2 for a few years. The behind the scenes at those conventions is wild. I remember my first one the guy who hired me told me not to sell anything before the convention officially opened and I just was like, ya sure, whatever. Few minutes later other vendors were just walking through with rolls of cash trying to buy his inventory. And they all know each other and talk like the mafia... like eh, come on now buddy, I know Bobby, he'd be fine with it, just uh, sell me this crate of hash marked trades, I got a couple grand right here, he'll be cool with it.... growing up I thought comic book stores were owned by guys like the Simpsons character, and there's a few like that, but the ones that do the conventions arent at all... their straight up hustlers. Miss those days sometimes, until I remember I actually make money now...

Also none of my books are worth anything cause I'm an idiot who likes weird indy horror and Sci fi comics that no one else wants lol. Of course the one horror book thats worth anything is the Walking Dead and when it came out I was like, who the fuck wants to read a black and white zombie book? Turns out everybody...
