At times, I get lost in the minutia of 3d printing. Dialing in the bed leveling, fixing my first layer and getting it just right, getting exactly the right PID and retraction settings.

Sometimes, it’s nice to just step back and remember what this hobby allows me to do. My brother-in-law is a big fan of “A Christmas Story.” He watches it every year several times and quotes the movie all year long. I thought it would be fun to make him the lamp from the movie, so I’ve been working on it and just finished it.
