  • There are 365 days in a year. If we keep the standard 7 day week, that gives us 52 weeks, with a single day left over. That day can be New Years Day, and be outside the standard week. Call it a special day, make it a holiday, whatever. Leap years would have 2 special days. Put the second in the summer to balance the one in the winter.

    That means every year is there same. Divide the year to into as many months as you want, as long as each one has a ‘multiple of 7’ days. January 1? Always a Sunday. April 3? Always Tuesday. Leap year day? It’s on the calendar between Saturday and Sunday.

  • About 15 years ago I looked at 3d printers for an engineering team. Between $20,000 and $50,000 range. The best option was a powder based system. Parts were fragile, print time was slow, clean up was a pain.

    One of our customers was using an SLA system…parts were fragile, print time was slow…clean up was a pain.

    Now I have a 3d filament printer in my shop that cost me less than $1,000, and doesn’t have any of those issues. Of course it’s not mounted on a robotic arm.
