In Idaho, the turtle always wins.
That's becuz we don't do Turtle Soup.
OK, actually, it's more fun and sporting to shoot a fast-track rabbit vs. a slothly turtle.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Neurotech - Our Burial Ground[^]
Neurotech's latest!
His previous album wasn't really my cup of tea (but still good), but the one before that was my most listened to album in 2016 with my most listened track in 2016 and that made Neurotech my most listened to artist in 2016
This latest (and also last ) is pretty awesome again!
So enjoy this well deserved SOTW!

If you're looking for something deep, I suggest this 34 track concept album:
Dream Theater, The Astonishing [^]
I've been a fan for over 25 years and imho, this album is a great addition to an incredible body of work. I do realize that opera rock is not for everyone...as my wife constantly reminds me. ('it's not easy to dance to') I find it moving nonetheless...maybe someone else here might like it as well.

Back in the day I used to listen to Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory.
I really liked that album, but other than that I'm not into Dream Theater.
I gave it another shot with Octovarium (first album without Mike Portnoy?), but nothing changed for me.
Now listening to The Astonishing and I'm afraid I'm still not going to make fifteen minutes.
Maybe if they ever get a new singer I'll give it yet another shot, I just can't stand his voice

I have some small plastic parts which I would like to print with a 3D printer. With all trial and error this could cost enough to justify buying a small 3D printer. I know that the smaller printers can only make smaller objects, but that's still more than enough for what I need. But what about the quality and the printing software?
I have read reviews, I often heard that the printers were ok, but the software often was buggy and compatible to nothing, including itself. Any tips are welcome.
This[^] is one of the more complicated variants of the parts I want to print. Scale 1:16, of course.

I have a Wanhao duplicator i3, apart from the software that came with it, I bought Simplify3D and apart from the odd minor issue its been great.
I mainly print PLA but have printed ABS and TPU, the TPU has to be printed very very slowly.
Most of the objects I've printed have been downloaded but I've even designed the odd thing in Sketchup and printed it, they say Fusion 360 is better though, but I've never tried it.
Great fun!

PLA is a good all round material
ABS I used for a firewall on a model airplane that needed to be as strong as possible
TPU I used for printing a flexible tube
The most difficult to print with for me was ABS, much higher temps were needed.

KennethKennedy wrote: TPU I used for printing a flexible tube Flexible! I did not think of that! Is it flexible enough to print those ammo belts?

Yes the firewall was an upgrade part for the Durafly Excalibur's original weak part, so an actual flying model.
That Huey sounds like its going to be the business. I'd be scared to fly it after putting in all the effort to make it a proper scale model.
TPU would be one solution for printing the ammo belts, its more than flexible enough, its also quite straightforward to print articulated parts with hinges etc using rigid plastics.
