Three years ago I designed a 6-foot 3D printed fountain.
The client put a pot there instead.
That pot taught me something important about "failed" projects:

The real lesson:
- Keep the files
- Keep the sketches
- Keep the idea warm
The project you couldn't finish two years ago might be possible next month.
Skills improve. Tech advances. Circumstances shift.
Patience isn't giving up. It's strategic waiting.

The pot is not the fountain.
But the fountain still exists — waiting for its moment.
What's YOUR pot? What did you put down that keeps calling you back?
Full story I want to hear about yours 👇

Here's what most makers get wrong:
We treat unfinished projects like failures.
That half-built printer upgrade. The costume you started for a con. The design you sketched but never cut.
They sit there. Quietly accusing you.
But unfinished isn't the same as dead.

The project: A Fibonacci-sequence water feature for a high-end home in North Carolina.
CAD files done. Architect signed off. Design locked.
Then reality hit: No 3D printing material could survive 25 years of sun, water, and temperature swings.
Project stalled. Pot went in.

Does anyone have a link to the "TikTok Ban" bill. I would really like to read it. I can't even find it on senate.gov

Playing with MidJourney 6 alpha. I’m enjoying the results so far. It’s seems to handle sentence descriptions a lot better but really doesn’t like the single word fillers like, realistic,8k, cinematic, etc.
