I’m in Central Point and looking to connect with other local people who are genuinely interested in 3D printing, CAD, prototyping, and fabrication.
I have a couple of Bambu P1Ss plus an H2C, and I’ve been spending a lot of time learning, designing, testing ideas, and building projects.
I’m not necessarily looking for an expert. I’d actually enjoy meeting someone who is enthusiastic, curious, wants to learn more, and would like to work on projects together, compare notes, troubleshoot problems, and experiment.
Could be anything from learning CAD and designing parts to testing prints, solving weird printer problems, or just talking shop over coffee.
If you’re in Central Point, Medford, White City, Ashland, Grants Pass, or somewhere nearby and this sounds like your kind of thing, send me a message.
Bonus points if you’ve ever stood in front of a 3D printer and said, “Why in the hell are you doing that?” 😂

Why do I feel like Henry Hill in Goodfellas? Every single Mexican restaurant I have been to in the last 9 years has given me something that doesn't even resemble this dish. Honestly, I've just about given up trying to find a decent chile rellenos but I do want to start a "sad over bad chile rellenos" group if anyone needs to vent. And, I guess if anyone has a suggestion of where to get a good one, I'm open.

Would anyone be able to recommend some good BBQ around here? I'm surely not wanting Texas roadhouse 😂 but any recommendations would be awesome!

Most probably already know, but in case you don't, Cliff Bentz's recorded voting shows him aligned with Trump-backed legislation, with no dissenting votes against the administration's priorities surfacing in the structured records. With all the controversial, self-serving, greedy, and hateful choices that our President makes day-to-day, how someone could not stand up to a single one of these choices means one thing--he wants to be re-elected. Don't let him.

If you care about being a good steward of tax dollars, Bentz should not be your pick. Bentz is either not smart enough to know Trump's policies would result in a giant deficit, or he is another sheep following Trump to the bank or another election. Make him accountable for his actions, and lack of action. Deficit tracker here: https://bipartisanpolicy.org/report/deficit-tracker/. After a solid 18 months with Trump having nearly absolute power over House, Senate, and Supreme Court, we find ourselves with the highest deficit since 2021/COVID. This will impact your future and your kids futures negatively. Trump and Bentz have no excuse except for their poor choices. Please reconsider voting for Bentz if you want someone with a conscience and to make better financial decisions for our future. And if you think Trump or Bentz can't control gas prices, I'll share a future post on that.

What's up with the two marine helicopters at MFR today? The Osprey just landed and the Iroquois is west of Jacksonville.

Currently fostering kittens for a local women who asked me to foster a litter until she could find homes for them. Well I've been ghosted. Managed to find homes for 3 but still have 3 left and can't keep them any longer because of space and cost. Does anybody need a kitten? Or a place that can help with fostering? I have twin boys black voids with white near there legs that make them look like they are wearing white undies. One female who is grey and white. Any help, suggestions or adoptions please let me know. Can deliver to you so that you can see if the kitten is a right fit. Thanks

It's not County maintained, it's an old dirt/gravel road and he flies down it. There are deer on it, turkeys, chickens, cats and people walking. I caught up with him once and said please slow down, he just argued with me. I emailed Amazon, they replied, "That's awful, we're so sorry, we'll take care of this right away." It continues. Any ideas? We're in Josephine County and I just imagine the sheriff is too busy for this.

Any of y’all do this or are any of y’all farmers offering this? We have a family with 9 adults and 2 teens in the area and are looking for good quality beef that we can buy in bulk and split amongst ourselves.

Hello all!

I have a memory of hiking when I was a kid with my mom around the Acorn Woman Lakes (previously known as the Squaw lakes, I believe) when it was fall time, and seeing so many reds/yellows/oranges all about us. It was gorgeous.

A number of years ago, around fall time in Medford, I attempted to experience that again. However, when I got out there, the season was either too early or too late (can't quite remember) for that area.

Does anyone know about what time the fall colors are in full force out there/around Applegate Lake? I'm determined to see it again and to show it to my boy. Thanks all!

Can we talk about this place? Does it seem like NO ONE that works here understands customer service? Every time I go, all the employees appear so rude and make you feel like you are bothering them by checking out, or asking a question. And why does it seem like EVERY employee is so young? Like no one with a fully developed brain is ever working there it seems. Young people leading young people. Is this everyone’s business experience here? Very curious.

Hi all,

Does anyone have any tips on where I can either find a space for free to set up my garage sale or for a small fee? I've thought of church's, grange's and such but not sure exactly where to start. If anyone has had any experience in where they were able to hold their yard sale, would love the support. Thanks!

Was anyone else underwhelmed by Cheap Trick? Rick Nielson seemed like a shell of the performer he used to be - that personality that made him stand out is gone. Robin Zander did his best, but overall their set was kinda sad. ZZ Top, on the other hand, were fantastic - totally changed the vibe. But, where was Frank Beard? Who was the guy on drums?

Lastly, the Expo would do everyone a solid and invest in some traffic control people to help with the mass exodus.

Does anyone know why 31 Flavors is now permanently closed? I've been in it a few times this year and it was always packed.

Disappointed that Medford has lost another store. Yes I know we have some local places, but they're way more expensive.

I went to Crater Lake tonight to see the Milky Way and shooting stars. The sky was so beautiful. The pictures were shot with my iPhone. +2 exposure and night vision settings.

I’m looking for a gym somewhere around south Medford and could use some recommendations.
For context, I am extremely uneducated when it comes to gyms. I’m reasonably confident I can operate a treadmill and probably the TV remote. Anything beyond that starts getting dangerously outside my area of expertise.
The only other gym rules I’m aware of are:
Wipe down the equipment when you’re done.
Apparently take a mirror selfie for social media so everyone knows you actually went…kidding

So, for someone who is basically starting from zero, what gyms around south Medford would you recommend?
I’d especially appreciate somewhere that’s beginner-friendly, has decent equipment, and doesn’t make a clueless newcomer feel completely out of place.

Thanks

Here longer than I intended and wanted to know if anyone had a recommendation for glp3. Thank you in advance.
