My mother turned me on to James Bond as a little guy. She would always do secret agent themed things for holidays. Setting me up with scavenger hunts, self destructing “mission briefings” etc... I know, amazing woman. FYI my favorite movie is “The Man With The Golden Gun” flame suit on. It’s got it all! Flying cars, that southern dude, 3 nipple guy, that cool fun house on the secret island, a gigantic laser beam, all of those AMC cars. Finally GoodKnight...schwing!
Anyway, my wife got this for me two Christmases ago. I actually discovered it before that Christmas by accident and my wife told me to just go ahead and build it. I felt bad, so I left it where it was and forgot about it. Fast forward to this unique situation we find ourselves in and...I re-discovered it while cleaning, JACKPOT!
I kicked it off 3 days ago and I just finished this morning. I’d say I probably have 4-5 hours into it. I’ve got a bunch of cool car legos as you will see below, however I think this one is the coolest. The 911 is awesome, but it is more model than toy, the DB5 is a T O Y. Ejecto seato cuz!!! Machine guns, pop up bullet proof wall, secret phone, tire spikes.....! NEAT NEAT FUCKING NEAT!!!!!
Pics and videos below. Happy Friday!!!
Also P.S. Shop-Teacher the set is still available.

ALSO
I just got off our weekly “Town Hall” zoom meeting. One of my colleagues has rallied a bunch of companies and people together to get 3d printers to make face shields for the front lines of COVID19. I have been looking for an excuse to get one, now it seems like I have to! So I bought the one he recommended, and a bunch of our other colleagues purchased filament and the other supplies well need to make em.
This thing will only be churning out masks/shields, but after all this mess I will be making all sorts of things!!!

What’s that in the middle of the table. A little lego “lamp”!?

It's a glass but it does have a little lava lamp in the back.

I tried to play the James Bond theme in my head, but got The Naked Gun instead. Sorry.

Which printer is that? The Ender 3? I've been debating on buying one.

I’m really kicking myself over it. Amazon.ca had the Ender 3 Pro for $60 less than usual (on sale for just a few hours). I hummed and hawed about it, but didn’t bite. And now I wish I had.

Between myself and the other two middle school shop teachers in my district, we have 15 3D printers that we could be producing with, plus tons of filament, plus boxes of brand new safety glasses we could donate ... BUT THE DISTRICT WON'T LET US INTO THE BUILDING!!!!
