Morning update. After the mods I made to the smoke jack scaffolding, the prints overnight were a success. I've now got the machine working on the next set of two. By tomorrow, the six will be produced. The bottom bells will print as threes, and I want to draw up a mounting ring to positively fastened them to the roof and I think I'll get six of them in one go. Today's my birthday, but instead of model work, I'll be cleaning the house because old friends are arriving from Pennsy on Thursday. Tomorrow I'm tied up with a meeting about the plane restoration so it had to be done today. Bummer. But on the bright side, the Machine doesn't care and it will be making parts for me throughout. After hardening you can see how the resin darkens.  You can't make it out in this image, but I also had three pad eyes grown on the tubes for guy wires. It was easier than drilling and gluing in wire eyes. Why fabricate it when you can grow it. This whole process is eerily organic.

I may report from time to time over this weekend, but with guests probably not.
