Hi <br>
<br>
I have a drill press for the space. Havent brought it because of
space limitation considerations. <br>
<br>
Its waiting in my garage, and it works. Can bring it if you all
wish. <br>

<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
Today was quite productive. Natalie and I bought a microwave
to be used for the MIG welder from the SPCA Thrift Shop. We
noticed a beaten-up drill press there for $10, so if anyone is
willing to put in the time and effort, then it would be
beneficial to grab it up when you can. As Natalie was taking
out the copper coils from the newly-acquired transformer, the
wooden handle of the chisel that she was using exploded.
Fortunately, she is fine, but the chisel is currently
unfixable (by my untrained eyes). The chisel was placed next
to the boxes where all of the scrap wood laid. I think that
the body of the microwave would make a good planter for any
plants that we would like in the space. Natalie wisely
suggested that we invest in some flycatchers, to address the
never-ending fly problem. <br>
<br>
From my time here, I have finally found out how to convert
.stl files easily into gcode: in Slic3r, just add the file you
want using the "Add" button, then "Export Gcode" into the file
that you need to place it under. This has kept me busy,
converting a plethora of .stl files into a folder that I have
labeled "Wishlist Printer". One day, i will print all of those
things. One day...<br>
