CHAPTER ZERO
Starting point
On January 17, 2026 I weighed 200 lbs (91 kg), owned zero parts of an Iron Man suit, and announced a 4-month challenge to fix both. I'd tried to lose weight for twenty years. I'd tried to motorize an Iron Man helmet three years ago and bricked it. This time I made it public.

HOW WINNERS ARE PICKED
About a week before September 30, 2026, I'll email everyone on the list one question: what would you build with the printer, and why does it matter to you? I'll read your stories and pick the two that hit hardest.
