Sawcy Camper Conversion
If they don’t disconnect battery again and take it to one down the street … :word: there are about 10 smog shops in a very small radius of my house. I’m sure I can get it to pass by doing that for one of them, or throw a little cash at one of them under the table to just pass it anyways. Come visit...

Obligatory C5 Thread
Let me know if you're interested in selling the wheel before you sell the car. I may be a little more inclined to buy it. I attended that local event that races here once a year this weekend, changed the oil, Modified Ranger'd the master cylinder with Dot4 to try to keep the soggy clutch demons at ...

Obligatory C5 Thread
I may be interested in the wheel. But I'm frugal. Lol. The stock one is horrid. Once I drove :melon:'s I was like.... shit, this thing is massive. I think once I get this clutch fixed I might drive it a bit more but most of my money is about to go into this MR2 I’ll probably hold onto it until the ...

When will the madness end?
I wanna say I remember people in the subreddit /r/askcarsales said this will be like this for at least a year, possibly upwards of a year and a half or two.

Acid's adventures in 3d printing
Did a preliminary 30% scale of the 4 parts to test a proof of concept. Likely doing like Alan suggests and possibly change out my hinge pins with two females and a metal dowel. No breaking of parts and it'll operate the same. Also need to design in a spring clip or something to make it snap into pla...

Acid's adventures in 3d printing
Did some modeling today for the winch cover. Gonna refine after I think about it some more. I'm kind of aiming for a futuristic angular stealth armor kind of vibe. Simple shape so far, but I've added a few things like tongue and grooves to attach the two center pieces together. Hoping my hinge toler...

Acid's adventures in 3d printing
Horned skull finished up yesterday. It fucked up exactly where I thought it would. It built supports for the tips of the horns and then tried to go from a point to a bigger cone, but it was so flimsy that it fell over and didn't work out until the layers moved high enough for a continuous nozzle pat...

Thanks for the info! Are you going to convert your Solidworks files into something specific or STL format, or does Cura know how to convert files from numerous 3D modeling software? I'll check in here for your debugging and learning process, the alcohol/glue-stick surface prep is :megusta: , good j...

Acid's adventures in 3d printing
What software are you using, and what are the model formats you're using? Does it import 3D AutoCad files? Is AutoCad still being used by anyone? I like the technology, and am thinking about getting one for little work grippers and/or just to get the kids playing with it and learning. It would be n...

Groot and frands finished today. One of the first few layers screwed up and I paused the print, and it didn't quite finish that layer correctly. Pusheen cat has no nose, so I needa fab one up. Fat round cat has no feet, but I ain't fixing that. Groot from about 1/8" above the bottom is fucking ...

Next attempted print was something small but detailed. Tried a skull thing the wife wanted. There's some thin spots where it didn't retract correctly so it started to string out as it moved from one ledge to the next. Not horrible once I cut the stringing out, but def not a clean print. https://i.im...

Acid's adventures in 3d printing
There's been a LOT Of trial and error, and troubleshooting followed by breakthroughs for new problems that have come up. Cliff notes on those: 1) Right out of the box I calibrated the print bed, tested on a calibration part, worked fine. 2) Printed a part, rebooted and had a black screen. Had to ref...

This is a place to jot my experience and progress down. If there's something any of you would like me to make an attempt at let me know and I'll see what I can do. So I bit the bullet and grabbed a 3d printer. I'm looking to find a little side hustle so I'm trying to find what angle I can hit to use...

Oilfield takes a while to trickle back up. It's like when the price of oil takes a hit, you'll see it in waves in the roots of the industry.

Had a market adjustment raise today, but nets me almost 15% more base out of the blue, which is significant.

I had no idea it is that sensitive and temperamental. I saw one printing away at work, and the staff has surrounded it with plexiglass. I assumed it was more of a work/safety precaution. Maybe it could help reduce air-flow? A trial using cardboard should be :thisisfine: Good for you for making the ...
