  • I’ve used a lot of 12x3mm and smaller magnets without them jumping up and attaching to the print head but I did have it happen with larger 40x10x3 rectangular magnets. It ruined the print and caused a huge clog, but I came up with another way to embed magnets because of it.

    I designed a long 10x3 tunnel into the print, printed the object without pause, then slid the magnets into the tunnel. I printed a couple spacers to go between the magnets to place them how I wanted them and I printed a plug to glue into the opening of the tunnel. The plug was a second color so it stood out and made a little accent.

    I haven’t done it yet but I thought it would be cool to add a little decorative design to the original object to be printed in a second color and make the tunnel plug the same second color and hide it in the decorative design.





  • War Through the Ages by Lynn Montross

    It basically tells you about every war ever, at least every one worth talking about. It was written in 1944 and revised in 1960 so I’m sure some of the information might be outdated but it’s still great.

    12 Byzantine Rulers by Lars Brownworth

    This is actually a series of audios that you can download for free. This is almost a history of the Byzantine Empire from beginning to end, but summarizes what was happening during the reign of less influential rulers and focuses on the reign of the 12 most influential. He’s also written books about the Byzantine Empire and other subjects that I’ve somehow never read.
