Thank you! I try to be a positive part of the community, I hope it’s working.
As for the things I share… they definitely get a bit far from lasers here in this thread. To that end: this is pretty wild. Apparently there’s an ant species that gives birth to clones of another species. Uh… what?

This is totally laser stuff and OMFG! The $100+ price tag is worth it, and outside my acceptable range!
Wow.

Ah you got me there.
Normally I wouldn’t be terribly tempted by this sort of thing but the LED kits etc are pretty cool.

The EufyMake UV printer announced its first delay today. Predictably, the comments are full of temper tantrums. I’m just sitting here with my popcorn.

I didn’t even bother going to look after reading the email.
It would have been nice if they’d announced a week ago rather than the week they are supposed to be shipping. At least we have a one month delay timetable, if all goes well.
We’ll see what happens. I’ve got a lot of material waiting to go through it!

Not to be overly pessimistic but I think we all know how this goes. I would not be surprised if they missed that one month timetable.

I am definitely not holding my breath!
We’ve all played this game before. It’ll get here when it gets here. At least from the description of the problem it looks easy enough to fix by throwing more money at it.

Indeed. I did a pre-order on a large CNC upgrade earlier this summer and pretty much put it out of mind. Just got an email they’re going to start shipping next week right on time. I need to expand my tilting table so I can out the larger CNC on it but hadn’t given it a thought because these things are always late. Now I’m under the gun.

Mine is pixels dice. They’re so late at this point that I’m assuming I’ll never see them. We’ll see. They still actively send updates.

If they pull it off they’re gonna be cool. We’ll see.

My longest is (and probably will always be) this one:
Two Guys SpaceVenture - by the creators of Space Quest by Two Guys From Andromeda — Kickstarter
I pledged in May or June of 2012, it was fully funded in June of 2012, and delivered April 2025. Estimated delivery date was February 2013. What’s a dozen years late among friends?

Wow. Does that beat star citizen?

Nope. I think Star Citizen wins (at least according to Wikipedia). Their Kickstarter was also in 2012, but looks like they’ve been playing with that game since 2003. Expected release date is currently 2027.

Star citizen also had a tremendous amount of money on the line if I recall correctly.

I ended up buying the Glowforge after the close but before shipping, so even though I paid the higher price I still had to wait six months for delivery.

Huh. This is a very specific skill.
