Amazing what you learn by reading others plans. I have two small simple parts that I have printed, and have been attempting to learn CNC and mill on a school I supports Tormak. Now, becuase of your comment on SendCutSend, I am exploring that option! Half my CAD skills I have learned from...

At least 8 years ago work had a nice Stratsys, and I had to convience myself that this simple, stong, incredibily light "spacer block" was strong enough. We were using it one a military ISO shelter being shipped to Okinawa . Printed 4. There were no user settings. Crushed one in a vice, beat...

I am a retired engineer and I’ve been working on mechanical designs in CAD for years. I really like a 50% fill versus 100% for the strength it gives. I have not done a lot of ASA, I prefer ABS for my external parts. The other key thing to do is perimeters. Most perimeters are 2 by default. I...

I love my Prusa, an older MK3s+. I am a mechanical engineer, so design is easy for me. I also do FIRST robotics and have access to the Bambu's that schools are buying. Twice as fast as my older printer, but there has not been a vehicle or house hold problem that fixing it wasn't involve.

Amazing what the 3D printer and the internet makes you aware of.

Tried Rainx, surprised it didn't, but modern plastics versus glass?

Interesting. Still, in sunny California I am cleaning my stock camera lens to much.

You all know that spark plugs have to last 100,000 miles by the EPA or the car manufacture is penalized? I stopped worrying or fooling with these things on my 1988 Ranger when I read the manual and in order to replace the distributor cap or even take it off we had to put it back on the computer...

Chores around the house. 1:00 the Ring Chimes, hand the keys to the Ford service guy. He does a 23k service including, cabin air filter. Chime rings again, I sing the paperwork. He leaves. I drive to Home Depot. Sedano Ford in La Mesa California. So cramped they had to do this. My second...

My Lariat was delivered with only the middle two missing. It turns out I had some leftover chain that fit the 4 mm bolts so I end up using that.

I just paid $21 for a single damn Bosch blade here in California. Can we please go back to just giving me rubber/silicone inserts that I can put on my own blades in five minutes?

So you can't get these in California? You would think they would like the oil caught, not burnt? They seem to "catch" more oil than fuel.

Make that four banger turbo work!!

Interesting. I was going to ask the same question for "funner" reason. Twenty six day trans Pacific cruise with 4 days in Singapore before the ship sails. Fly Oct 8.

I have never been in the military, but I worked on a military base for 20 years. I was going to night school to get my masters with a friend. He just bought a used Jeep. We were coming back from class about 830 in the evening and they stopped us at the gate for a random search by the drug dog. I...

I have to agree. my two-year-old Lariat has a lot of Electronics. They work flawlessly and keep me out of accidents. I was surprised I didn't see more of a bump in my insurance rates, but I guess they're still figuring that out. Now in my humble opinion are back to saying that I want hand crank...

Mine looks fine from the outside. My approach was going to be more adjusting the sensor that I could never find.

I had an issue on my 2022 lariat that I wasn't closing the door firmly enough and I'll be driving along and get a message saying the door was ajar. For the very first oil change, I asked them to look at it, and they came back and said door was correct. it happened again about two weeks later...

Okay, I forgot that one.

Hidi ho Ranger fans. Did something change on the latest software update? I now have lame green lane lines now showing. The picture shows them as being gray because I am not moving forward in my car. I checked all the settings and nothing will turn it off. I don't want lines.
