I got a new toy I got a new toy

My bud’s been working on making me a robot.  That’s right, I’m getting an electronic minion.

After my disappointment at not winning a New Matter printer I shelved the idea of printing bear sized objects for me.

And then Nicholas told me we were getting a 3D printer so he could make me a robot.  I have the BEST bear bud!  Then again he has the best bear any bud could ask for.  Because I’m THAT awesome.  So really I deserved one.

This whole printer idea was so awesome there were even high-fives at the store during its acquisition.

Yeah my very own 3D printer.  I bet I’m the first bear with a 3D printer.sumi bear and peerbot-2 sumi bear and peerbot-3

Annnnnnnd then we found out it was broken.  The belt screw had snapped from being too tight.

Thankfully 3D printers are capable of printing their own parts.  So a little super glue and a lot of time on Skype with the technician later we were back in 3D printing business.

Yay we are printing!

This was exiting for about the first 10 hours.  But turns out 3D printing is really slow business.  I got tired and made Peep take over.

Annnd about 20 hours later I got my first robot buddy.

Time to print more minions.
