60-y-o today? Youngster!! :P
Happy Birthday, Mr. Gonz, I hope you are having a good one. And I also thank you for your numerous posts over such a long period, that's staying power.
I recently happened to notice that you have a forum icon dedicated to you ( i.e. :spitty:). I hesitate to ask what you did to earn that 'honour'.

Thanks, friends. It's a little surreal to be looking at myself as a 60yo. Haha, I forgot about Spitty. In fact, I've forgotten what I should say if I were asked about the icon!
My brother did some great research and besides the bottle of Grange he sourced a laser engraved wooden presentation case for my medals. Our son and nephew colluded and did amazing research in getting me a complete resin 3D printing system to go alongside my trusty FDM printer.
I'm feeling quite spoilt and much loved.

Happy birthday - if you keep having them so regularly you'll be as old as me in no time. ASA got it wrong - I find downhill journeys an easy cruise and getting old a rather uphill journey. Enjoy it anyway - I still do.

A bit late but Happy Birthday.
Enjoy your 3D printer and the wasted hours of staring at it while it prints :)
Cheers

LOL, the irony is I do a lot more design than manufacture. The printers don't get turned on all that often! [See some examples here] (https://cults3d.com/en/users/TheAussieGonz/3d-models)
