I finally built a standard sized one. I ran into a few unexpected challenges given how smooth the small one went.
It really isn’t the most accurate machine, the belts inside aren’t timed, but it does pretty ok with some rendering algorithm and is fun.
Some of the stick we put in the ground 8 years ago are starting to look like real trees. They have barely yielded any fruit so far, and so we hope that they’ll decide to produce a real crop one day. It’s been interesting to compare how well everything we bought from various nurseries performed. The best nursery by far has unfortunately closed. Another one I won’t name has given us only bad performers I’m tempted to just pull out of the ground after years of tending to. Worst failure rate, worst growth rate, worst everything, bleh.
