Hi Guys!

I purchased a roll of Gold Hatchbox PLA.  What better project to print than the Irish Pot Of Gold from Muzz64 in celebration of St Patrick's Day :  http://www.thingiverse.com/thing2134709

It is a great model!!!  My only problem is I keep loosing the handles.  It has a built-in support for the handles, but somehow Cura just isn't working well with them.  It's not the fault of the design, just the slicer.  At first I scaled it up to 1.6% and when the handles failed I thought maybe it was the resolution, so I re-sliced it at .2mm.  The same thing happened.  So the last time I scaled it back to its original size and it was still having problems.  So I gave up...for now.  If you try it, please let me know how it worked for you?

If you made it to the end of the video, you saw a picture of Fluffy on my lap.  Saturday morning I had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life.  I had to have her put to sleep.  Her congestive heart failure had worsened over night so much that by morning she could hardly breathe.  I took her to the Vet and he agreed it was time.  She has been by my side for 13 years.  This was the first video I made where she wasn't laying on my lap while I was editing.  She was the first one to give me kisses in the morning and the last one to give them to me at night.  Except for a hand full of nights when she had to stay at the Vet's office, she slept between my wife and I every night.  It's amazing how a stray little puppy someone kicked out can find its way up a drive way one day and become such a important part of someone's life.  Fluffy did just that.  She was my baby girl and always will be.  While it wasn't totally unexpected, her loss has been a blow to Beth and I.  Fluffy will be forever missed.

Thank you very much for watching!!!
