Marlin 2.1.3 beta 3 is out now! github.com/MarlinFirmwa... We're in the home stretch to the official release. One more big sprint to address all your outstanding bug reports and then we'll put a ring on this thing!

According to the precedents being set today by this lawless Administration any future Democratic Administration could thumb its nose at the courts and hire an army of kind people to force us all to accept Universal Basic Income and Free Healthcare.

Building… building… building… Marlin 2.1.3-b3 binaries. @marlinfw.org #RepRap #3DPrinting #OpenSource

I had a baklava and three strong ales to take revenge on my disagreeable digestive system with the expected purgative results. It was the most moving experience I’ve had in years.

When I’m the President there will be no military parade on my birthday. But instead, free cake and ice cream for everyone! #NoKings

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

“The Last Seduction” was such an amazing dark comedy and Linda Fiorentino is brilliant in it, but kick me for telling people: You gotta see “The Last Romance”! Although … that might actually have been a better title. #movies

It’s been 12 hours and my Spectrum Internet is still down. This is quite a long outage for what has become a vital utility. Spectrum has a few minor outages every year. Would Google Fiber be any more stable or reliable? #AustinOutage

Could this be the largest tax refund in history?

This is the best thing I’ve seen today and I need a source. Bluesky, please help. Credit to whoever this rad group is.

#Austin got hit by a tropical storm today that whipped through and knocked over a lot of trees and things. It also knocked out the Internet so all those good TMCStepper patches for Marlin are delayed, sorry! #3DPrinting #OpenSource @marlinfw.org

The rich & powerful are doing just fine without my help. So I’m going to spend my life helping those who actually need it.

The old Prusa i3 is coming together slowly, new custom part by new custom part. I just sticky-taped the PSU to the right side of the i3 frame, so I can chop off most of the bottom and side for the PSU cover…. Oh well, it's already #3DPrinting right now, but I'll add more flair to the final design.

Because you asked: Large Avocado - 279g - $2.99 32.6g pit. 28.6g skin. 217.8g (78%) edible. 1.37¢/g Small Avocado - 143g - $0.69 15.1g pit. 19.5g skin. 108.4g (75%) edible. 0.63¢/g Small Avocados are a MUCH better value. #food #economy

If you're an American company competing with foreign suppliers, the #tariffs offer you a great opportunity for price gouging! As long as your prices are lower than your foreign competitors, amirite?? This is just one of the wonderful ways that tariffs drive up prices and get all over everything.

Up pretty late working on Marlin but then I decided to be up pretty later and design a useful thing. Who can guess what this object is for? #OpenSCAD #CAD #3DPrinting

People will finally wake up to the reality that #tariffs are a regressive tax on the poor only when the price of pizza has doubled. That’s the Domino’s Effect.

Every #RepRap machine can benefit from well-tuned Input Shaping! This OctoPrint plugin makes the process much simpler and provides a vital UI component in the evolution of Marlin motion control. #3DPrinting github.com/navaismo/Oct...

Cabbage should be a staple in your kitchen.

You know when you’re working hard and making great stuff. Keep it up!

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to forget who you are so you can remember who you is.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

This is how tariffs work. ..and now I want Crab Rangoon.

Fun fact about me: I have never watched or listened to a Joe Rogan podcast. From what I can see it is a stupid show for stupid people. I have always had a natural aversion to programming made to entertain and distract dummies.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

As a free open source product made by monks, the price of Marlin remains unaffected by current #tariffs. And it can still run on your old toaster oven. If you have limited parts, there are great SCARA #RepRap designs made to be built out of scraps … in a cave! #3Dprinting will survive and thrive!

Was LIVE! …for a moment… The time to go is now. No time like the present! www.twitch.tv/videos/24297... @marlinfw.org #RepRap #3DPrinting

The cheapest way to double your print speed. Flipped over when you’re printing bookends, wide-end-up when you’re printing clones. Bonus: Bookends mode cancels vibration in X. That’s just physics, man! #RepRap #3Dprinting #Prusa

Note to self: E4D is one off from E3D.

Remember this old thing? I hear little games like this make great stocking stuffers. But they gotta have character! Fun way to learn #Unity3D though…. www.twitch.tv/videos/24261... #GameDev
