Travel: Walldorf & Heidelberg Germany

paschmann

Work trip to Germany over 10 days. Was super busy work wise with a leadership offsite, team members visiting from Bulgaria and meeting and making new friends. Was one of my more memorable visits to the SAP HQ 🙂

Over the weekend I spent some time training in Heidelberg for the upcoming 70.3 Ironman Chattanooga Race. The “City Bad” (City Pool) was chaotic to train in, but also pretty fun versus my local YMCA 🙂 Sunday I did a big strength session, running to the top of Thingstätte, down across the river and back up the other side to Königstuhl. After walking down the 300 odd stairs last year, I really wanted to run up them, so this was the perfect opportunity. read more

Carvera Air CNC

paschmann

Super stoked to have finally received the Carvera Air which I ordered on Kickstarter about 9 months ago!!! After doing a bunch of 3D printing and laser cutting with the Glowforge, I really wanted to test/try out CNC’ing and see what I could learn and build with a small desktop machine. I have been considering this for probably 4+ years, but never found the right machine or the intention to spend the money. Last year I decided to pull the trigger and after a long wait it finally arrived 🙂

First project was building a couple small parts to understand the workflow which I think turned out great. Overall, I am already really impressed. I think I will be constrained by the bed size, but will cross that bridge when I get to it 🙂 read more
