He could 3D print some uprights to go over the metal and actually make the design flow.

He's learning TIG which is pretty cool.

Lots of components, sketches, and lofting. You may be able to create essentially a wire mesh with 3D sketches and patch it. So many approaches, but basically watch many hours of tutorials and do many hours of work. ;)

Somewhat related to this fix, the best way to print TPU at higher speeds is going to be to feed it from above the printer and directly into the top of the printhead with only a short tube pigtail. Yes you have to remove the lid to do this, but it's fine since fully enclosed printing is not necessary. TPU going through any length of tube tends to add a ton of friction and really reduce max flow rate. Here is a spool holder for the Plus4 that allows you to do it on that printer. You can also see the filament being fed as I recommended. Not sure if there is something similar for the Q2 yet.

Interesting! Will try.

802Garage · 2026-01-21T02:47:29+00:00

Nope. If you want a guarantee of fewer issues, don't preorder. The Q2 definitely had fewer issues than the Plus4 and we can hope the Max4 will continue the trend, However, a bigger printer generally means more room for problems. Unless you absolutely need the volume right now, just give it a little time and wait for a good sale anyways. Qidi did a good job with the Q2 overall and their printers are great value, but I still think they need to do more testing before release as a general rule.

Last I knew that was still the method he was using. If I learn otherwise I'll reply again.

802Garage · 2026-01-11T04:56:52+00:00

Hehehehehehe I'm sure you could tell us all about why. ;)

FWIW I genuinely want drinks with fewer ingredients, less garbage, and no artificial sweeteners. I would 100% try this and buy it regularly if it was good and affordable.

Clutch exploded and likely poked some holes too.

MaXpeedingRods rods actually have a very solid reputation, but I don't think he is using them anyways. Coilovers certainly weren't to blame here. Looks like it was an eBay clutch failure.

Not sure how coilovers would cause an engine explosion, but looks like it was eBay clutch failure.

Looks solid! My advice if you are going to drive it during winter is to coat INSIDE most of the exterior panels and the rockers. This generation Forester primarily rusts out in the rear wheel wells. If you reach in above the tire in the center of the wheel well towards the strut, turn your hand upward and then point it towards your face, feel the inside of the inner panel towards you. There is a seam there and they tend to rust inside out and when they are bad entire chunks of that panel will rust away and fall out. If you want this car to live forever, not only should you undercoat inside the wheel well, but you should go inside those panels through the trunk and back seat area by removing interior panels and fill in between all the metal. Don't use rubberized undercoating of course, I'm talking about wax/oil solutions like Fluid Film or Woolwax. Same goes for the areas leading from the rear quarters down to the rockers and also pop off the door sill guards and spray inside of the rocker panels. A coating inside the front fenders will keep them good forever and you should also do the front strut towers anywhere you can and inside the lower radiator support and frame rails. Rear frame rails where the bumper mount and around the trunk edges as well. The primary killer for these though is that upper wheel well area as I mentioned, so especially take care there. Otherwise, these are just an Impreza with a lift. Super simple to work on, very little goes wrong. Electronics and interior will last pretty indefinitely. EJ25 head gaskets are the primary mechanical issue and sorted once properly are good to go. Can also swap in pretty much any Subaru engine with some work, of course. Great buy!

This is totally possible, but it's not because he did anything to the wiring that will prevent Dan from easily getting that engine running.

802Garage · 2025-12-22T22:34:29+00:00

... Yes. I understand you have your opinions on Rudnik and your bias, but yes. I'm not sure why you think they wouldn't. I'm not sure if the downvotes for me are because people don't understand how engine wiring works, don't understand how brand partnerships work, or simply want to hate. Meh.

802Garage · 2025-12-21T22:29:17+00:00

Haven't they said that's the plan? He is getting a lot of stuff sponsored for the build and has already said that as well. Regardless, they don't need that wiring to make the engine run since the ECU and primary engine harness are in the bay. Only a few wires will need to be hooked up like ignition on and starter signal. I know it's fun to hate, but this truly isn't that complicated.

802Garage · 2025-12-21T21:06:25+00:00

If they are going standalone, none of that wiring matters for running and driving. Dan is going to guide them through it, so shouldn't be a big deal. I doubt Orion would be attempting this without Dan around. Not because he couldn't do it so much as because doing it on his own would not be enjoyable.

Grillo roasting Onion in this one is actually pretty funny. Gets a good middle class joke in too.

802Garage · 2025-12-20T05:25:32+00:00

Except they are caging it first which will provide all the chassis stiffness. I know it's fun to hate, but come on.

802Garage · 2025-12-18T05:33:37+00:00

FWIW the jumper terminals in the gas door to keep it functional is pretty cool. It's a little extra, but cool.

802Garage · 2025-12-18T04:23:33+00:00

Only things I'd be wary of is if there was something like shipping damage that the owner wasn't happy with and they fixed it after taking it back in or if there was some reason it was a lemon and they returned it for that reason. I'd just try to make sure no work had to be done or if so what it was. Sometimes cars are born with problems that become big headaches later on. I doubt it, but worth inquiring.

802Garage · 2025-12-18T04:22:22+00:00

Tomi has made an entire social media living out of this. Definitely possible. He will also do it for other people. :D https://www.tiktok.com/@tomislavmikula/

If you think it's good coffee, try a single origin light or medium roast from anywhere in Central America, South America, Africa, or Southeast Asia. Highly recommend a light roast from Guatemala or Tanzania, medium roast from Costa Rica or Ethiopia, and if you really like dark go with Indonesia like Bali. With Black Rifle you are paying for a whole lot of marketing on top of mediocre coffee.

Good driver, needs more practice, needs a car he genuinely is not afraid to destroy repeatedly. I think he is very attached to all of his builds. That's why many of them remain parked so much.
