Forgot to reseat the bed plate after the last print, started the next customer part, and apparently the printer just decided “nah, we’re doing this anyway.”

Plate hanging halfway off the bed. Part still printed. No drama. No permission. Just pure spite and adhesion.

This is your reminder: when you’re in a hurry, check the bed plate before the printer starts improvising.

Successful failure!

CNC work is 10% making cool parts and 90% vacuuming up tiny metal Doritos before they become everyone’s problem.

Shop vac doing hero work today. Chips gotta go.

There’s something beautiful about the first cut - raw stock turns into chips, chips turn into parts, parts turn into capability. First chips with metal sourced from our new US-based partner, Nox Metals!

The Artemis II crew just completed their translunar injection burn and are officially headed to the Moon 🌙🚀

To celebrate, here's a topographically accurate Moon lamp we 3D printed! Every crater, every ridge, straight from NASA elevation data. It looks even better lit up in the dark.

If you want one, DM us! They make awesome gifts, nightlights, or just a cool conversation piece on your desk.
