It happens. Especially when we have day jobs. 👍🏻🤘🏼
this is my day

but I also do all this on my own, if there's a part I don't know, I learn it, if there's something I don't have then I have to earn it.

24 hours in a day, each of my 3d printers are over 1,000 hours print time, and I'm working to finish a product project every week or two

the diffuser is huge and I won't put out something half assed for it

I could knock out a cheap bent aluminum diffuser today if you wanted and have it on market tomorrow, those are easy. Slap $2 of powder coat on it and call it a day with some inflated CFD graphics

I wasn't implying anything other than life has its way of tripping us up on the best laid plans.
We all get it. Definitely no explanations needed here 👍🏻🤘🏼

Oh I didn't think you meant anything ill at all.

It's an immense undertaking even if I didn't plan on doing it for other people

I didn't even take time off to catch up after finishing 20 years army time 😂😭

I hear that. Still, sounds like a lot of fun. I would rather be doing race car stuff than what I do now. I helped to run a performance shop for a while. That was probably the most fun I've ever had while also making money lol

Yeah I feel you guys, this one is tough for me right now, I want to make sure it's done right and I had hoped to be able to be 3d printing it but didn't meet my financial goals for the year

by all means talk as much shit as you want, I embrace it and encourage it because I'm mad 😂😭

I'm still very excited to see how this comes out. I know your FR-S diffuser kinda 'put you on the map' in a lot of people's minds.

yeah I will do my best.

trying to decide if I really just want to focus in on a singular product offering like a lot of places do but that feels a bit boring to me
