Update before August ends

Hello my dear patrons!

I wanted to come in and give you an update on the state of projects in tow.

First of all, thanks to all of you that gave their 2 cents on the printer problem with the Jupiter SE that Elegoo sent me.

I spent a good chunk of personal money to try and get it to work but alas, they were only temporary solutions because the printer would go back to fail again.

After a week of back and forth with Elegoo's technical support, Elegoo decided to send me another unit because I expressed that if I can't get the machine to work than I wouldn't be recommending it in my video if it doesn't work as it should.

The gods heard my cries and a new unit came in today, I fired it up and left test prints that would 100% fail on the og machine and see what would come up the next morning and to my lovely surprise, I confirmed it was the damn machine all along, I used the same print file that would fail on the other one and it printed without a problem.

That's part of the good news, the other is that Blue is still working on the sketch for HaruMichi, we're still working on that but will have a sketch soon.

Thirdly, I wanted to come here and share a very personal situation that I'm going through right now.

For the last 3 years a Japanese individual has been harassing me with his twitter account, he's been relentless but more so this month.

I've blocked him since then but makes a lot of sock puppets accounts to spy on every singly post I make.

He has a personal grudge against me because a recaster got a hold of one of his works and reproduced it, a Russian friend of his spun the lie that I worked for this recaster and was an agent which was a complete and made up lie he made from an interaction we had 5 years prior on reddit.

He took to his Japanese friend with a large following to target me in an effort to intimate via targeted harassment as the Russian guy didn't have any sort of following.

Things have escalated with the Japanese man this month because his friend, the Russian guy got into some hot water in the community and decided to drag my name into to get the attention off of him (again, saying that I was an agent/worked for a recaster) and also saying that I doxed the Russian guy and that I was using racial slurs (again, all fabrications) so people would focus on me and not the actual problem which was he was being accused of doing.

I didn't know this was happening until 10 days ago but my name and reputation was being tarnished all these years in the community thanks to both of them and I was completely unaware of it.

The Japanese man then decided to stalk all my personal socials and spent a lot of time looking for personal info like my full name which he found and released to his entire online following, it's not like my name is kept a secret but he went out of his way to find it and release it with malicious intent.

I can't say much now but I am taking matters more seriously and reporting him to proper authorities, hopefully something comes out of the email I sent out to someone and we'll see what happens then.

I don't want to mention the whole drama here, it's long and I don't want to bother any of you with it, I just want to share the reason I've been MIA for the better part of this month, it's been due to the stress, anxiety and depression inflicted by actions of those individuals.

Hopefully this dies out in the coming days, so for now.

I really appreciate all the patience you extend and I'm also deeply grateful for the support you give me month after month.
