  • Unfortunately I was in the room. I took him to the ER to get checked for pneumonia due to a persistent cough and fever. After the CT a very kind hospitalist broke the news. There were other extended family members that needed to be informed. When I told them, I followed pretty close to what the Dr did and said. I’m not sure if that’s helpful for your situation. To use your conversation as a model.

    For me it worked best to be as direct and clear as straight forward as possible bc you want them to hear and understand what you’re saying. The emotions will come in later. So if you can do it, I’d say “I have something serious to tell you, I was diagnosed with cancer” then fill in the details. People will get upset and need some time to have emotions.





  • For that money id get out of FDM go for something from Formlabs to do SLA. There are flexible resins. The parts will be superior in every way. Alternatively talk your company into upgrading and offer to take the printer off their hands.

    The prusa XL with just two extruders could meet your requirements. Prusa is famously open. I just got a MK4S which is fantastic. Here’s my referral code if you decide to order from them @dubprints_91314 (we’ll both get points redeemable for filament). I think there were issues with the XL at launch but they’ve been addressed. Another benefit from Prusa is the level of support. They continually improve existing printers with firmware updates and upgrade paths.
