Interesting news item on the Wigglitz, and your chatter about it on the podcast. I'd be thrilled to run into that in a store - just to be able to check it out.

I'm also curious to know what Joe Larson has to say about this topic - considering his own endeavors in the 3D Printed type toys arena!

It was also interesting to hear you mention the almost Militaristic approach the co. has for it's employees - who crank out all these little toys!

I also found the Infill segment interesting - and I will follow-up soon with a project I did - where Infill was NOT used - and explain not only HOW but the WHY. That will take more effort to properly put that reply together...

But, I also have to finish not only the Infill segment - but, the rest of the podcast (which I consume in bite sized pieces during my morning work break - where I walk around the inside of the facility - like many others do...).

Let me guess… you walk around the facility during lunch break because it’s freakin cold outside. Right?

Well,,, it’s cold here too. 50deg F at 2pm! Brrrr…

[Kurt The 3D Printer GUY!!]

Actually - it's the 9:30am break time - which is a 10 min break. And, when weather is nice out - TONS of people do these walks around the buildings. If you will remember - this was the reason I asked for the Podcast to hit the Web by like 9am - so I can DL it to my phone - and have it ready for the 9:30am walkabout!

But - yes - all these folks do the walking Indoors - when it's cold out. I think today it got as high as like maybe 47F. But, I Believe we are supposed to get more snow this weekend. Which I WANT!!! - Cause I want to do more testing of my Snow blocks - but, also - Right near my apt bldg - is a bit of a hill - that goes down to ball fields - and people sled down them - but, I want to Ski down them - and use my skis for the first time since like 2017 or 2016!
