September 30th

We'd intended flying to the Props, Cop and Rodders show at Cameron Park, but it rained all morning so we drove over instead.

September 29th

The weather's started to look a little odd, so Dad and I went to the airport and flew while we could.

The ADS-B showed cloud moving over the area, so we toddled back quickly.

September 28th

We went to the airport to meet Randy and look at his Bendix, but he was running late.  I took Mum for a flight towards him, and when he passed us (ADS-B - I never saw him) we turned and followed him back to Lincoln.

After lunch, we looked at the Bendix, and I think the problem is the wrong grease - moly rather than the waterproof W-100.  As it's been sitting outside for a while, that's affected it.  We cleaned and regreased it several times and it seems to be working better now.

September 26th

It was overcast this morning, but I fixed a few things around the house and washed the solar panels.

Vic got home from Tahoe in the van, so all is right again in Tillyworld.

September 25th

We pottered around the house again, but did get out to go to the Galleria and Best Buy.

September 24th

We pottered around the house - drilling holes in the map board for my updated weather map and cooking sausage rolls, then went to Glenn and Judi's for movie night, where we watched "One Six Right."

September 23rd

Vic took the van and headed for the hills to (hopefully) get a few nights of proper sleep without being woken up a couple of times a night by Tilly.

The rest of us went to the airport - too late to fly Young Eagles, but early enough to get lunch and see the Airventure / kids' scholarship presentations.

We spent a fair amount of the reset of the day watching the 3D printer.

I did have an interesting interaction with ChatGPT, as I'm too lazy to do the maths.

what percentage would I need to increase the size of a 1/3 cup measuring cup to get to 5oz in a 3D print?

To determine what percentage you would need to increase the size of a 1/3 cup measuring cup to achieve a volume of 5 ounces in a 3D print, you can use the following formula:
Percentage Increase = ((Desired Volume - Original Volume) / Original Volume) * 100

So, you would need to increase the size of the 1/3 cup measuring cup by approximately 87.5% in a 3D print to achieve a volume of 5 ounces.

remember volume increases much faster than area

You're absolutely correct; when scaling three-dimensional objects, volume increases much faster than area. To achieve a specific volume increase, you would need to consider the cube root of the scaling factor.
In your case, you want to increase the volume from 1/3 cup to 5 ounces. As mentioned earlier, 1/3 cup is approximately 2.67 ounces. So, you want to scale it to 5 ounces.
Let's calculate the scaling factor:
Scaling Factor = (Desired Volume / Original Volume)^(1/3)
<maths deleted>
So, you would need to increase the size of the 1/3 cup measuring cup by approximately 21.7% in a 3D print to achieve a volume of 5 ounces, taking into account the fact that volume increases more rapidly than linear dimensions.

I'm not worried about the Terminator just yet.
