having to articulate the problem helped me work through it

you need a teddy bear to articulate to - it doesn't need to solve the issue (and likely won't), but as you've discovered, just articulating forces clarification (most times) in your head

good luck, I'm sure you'll figure it out

Teddy bear? The traditional debugging aid is a rubber duck. Rubber duck debugging - Wikipedia[^] Poke tongue | ;-P

Years ago (40-some) I used to pace up and down the cube farm muttering to myself. Eventually, my boss (who occupied the cube nearest the escape route) would call me in and ask me to explain the problem to him. I usually got about 3 sentences out before the lightbulb went on. RKI, wherever you are, thanks again!

Cheers,

I'd be interested - it would be a lot better than the inherited setup I'm supporting now, which basically starts a process, sleeps for a random time (2-7 minutes), then looks to see if the process it started is still running so take another nap, or if it should send an email saying it's done. I'd love a better control process than the "it's running, I guess it's OK" or "it's not running, I guess it finished successfully" that I have now.

My wife and I re-watched Robin Hood (the good old, corny one) last night. She really was beautiful.

The new settings for the 3D printer work well! The prints take remarkably less time (9.5 hours vs. previously 16 hours), Cura also calculates a smaller amout of filament needed, the print quality also seems to have improved a little, supports do their job well and come off easily. AND. NO. COBWEBS. AT. ALL. The prints are as clean as they can get.

There is only one problem. I have no idea why the new profile works so well. There seems to be no significant difference to the old one, but the results say something else. Sooner or later I will get behind it.

To celebrate this, I have put together the Eagle for the first time. The entire rear is made of the low quality parts from the orgiginal 3D model, the cargo container in the middle (a huge brick) is still missing and everything is held together only by clothes pins, masking tape and a few drops of a weak, rubbery glue. It would fall apart if I tried to carry it outside for a picture. At least I know how big and heavy it's going to be.

It's right in the middle between the 44 inch and 22 inch studio models with about 33 inches. Looking at it standing on the floor, I'm slowly beginning to forgive that it has been scaled down. Still, full size would have been glorious.

Now it's back to CAD and redesigning the rest of the parts. I have found videos that show the original studio model hafter restoration (Space: 1999 Original Eagle 1 Studio model (as seen today) - YouTube[^]) and building a replica (44" Eagle Transporter Work in Progress Part 1 - YouTube[^]). That will help, but I'm certainly not going to begin soldering together brass tubes and end up with a 35 pound model.

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

Already done. In the 'project folder'. Unfortunately I also saw another folder with another thing I want to finish. How about going into the air again with this[^]?

I cheat. An entirely 3D printed body would be too heavy, but detailing it is no problem. The Huey was good practice for that. For example, I have already made great legs for the retractable landing gear. They go over the plain steel ad look exactly like the ones of a real Sea King. Tuch details and a good paint job do a lot to turn a cheap fiberglass body from China into a unique and realistic model. The Huey even has some real dirt from Vietnam mixed into the paint on the belly and the landing skids. Smile | :)

Sure. How about this obe: Space 1999 Fan Film - Flight of the Eagle - YouTube[^] . Look what UI they use for the cockpit displays. Smile | :)

I raise my glass to you (with Akvavit or a prune smoothie)

As our holiday in Denmark this year seems to be approved I celebrated it with a glass of Aalborg Akvavit from a small bottle which I still had left from our vacation last year.
Alcohol percentage 45%, sadly not high enough against the Corona virus, but tasty nevertheless.
Cheers!

And there is more: as we had a lot of prunes from our prune tree in the garden and still had some left after baking prune cakes and making jam, I also made a prune smoothie.
Cheers again !
