I've been trying to get what's called a rapid prototyping machine (makes complex plastic objects by dividing them into and then printing layers) to work and over the past few weeks I've been pretty successful. I've unclogged the head that moves around squirting molten plastic, configured the computer that sends the machine part plans, replaced faulty tips, and lots of other stuff that the guys I work with didn't want to deal with.
Today I was just finished with some calibrations, the last things needed to be done to begin printing naked women or whatever when either my laptop, the serial cable, or the machine's internal head controller failed and I'm like dude wtf!#R$#@!@$!!!
I hate being so damn close but having such a big roadblock come up but I hate even more that I can't stop thinking that it was my fault somewhere that something went wrong. For starters, why did I have to buy a Dell? Why couldn't I have gotten a reasonably priced Ibm notebook? Or was it that I might have breathed too hard on the serial cable? Or was it that I couldn't stop compulsively turning on and off the machine because I was such a clutz when I first started using it?
lol @ my mind
