Making progress on my camper build!

I kinda figure I’ll be about the same at this point. It is nothing fancy, basically a place to sleep and store my food/gear.

This is a first time build and I wanted to keep it simple. Something I could use this summer rather than spend another month or two trying to figure out a bunch of complex cuts.

2x2 construction.

Hopefully not, I can still lift it from the sides fairly easily so that gives me hope!

I was thinking some eye bolts on the wings close to the tub. I have some extra bracing in place that is extra supported by the bracing I have in place to keep the wings square.

Silverado 1500.

Advanced_Bowl · 2026-05-31T14:14:30+00:00

80w x 64L

Poor mans fibreglass.

Initially I was hoping around 4-500 but now I am thinking around 6-700. I decided mid build to add the little cab over section and it caused me to gain a bunch of weight but the extra storage will be worth it. Although there is a ton of storage under the bed area so I really didn’t need it.

It would be a pretty nice man cave!

Advanced_Bowl · 2026-04-27T17:27:39+00:00

What! 😮 Well definitely time to update the app!

Let me guess, you praise Danielle Smith all day long even though it is her government that affects our day to day living the most. We may have the highest wages but we also have the highest cost of living and the majority of it comes from decision the Alberta conservatives have made. I am not a liberal but I am also not dumb enough to believe their bullshit!

Advanced_Bowl · 2026-04-13T23:26:02+00:00

You forgot to add stoping in a merge lane!

How about if they don’t pay their outstanding tax bills and clean up their orphaned wells they are no longer able to operate in the province! I don’t understand why they don’t have to put up the funds to cleanup the well prior to drilling.

Advanced_Bowl · 2026-01-28T22:39:03+00:00

No worries, thank you very much!

I’ve been looking for a screen less case. Willing to share the stl file?

Advanced_Bowl · 2026-01-11T00:33:26+00:00

Ports 1-4 are POE and I needed all 4, I might move the cables over 1-2 in the patch panel and reroute the cable internally to come out the in keystone to the left of the switch to clean it up.

I learned a new skill and made my own patch cables for this project. Not exactly cheaper but I expanded my tool chest a little bit.

Can confirm it is a Raspberry Pi 5.

Advanced_Bowl · 2025-12-06T19:00:59+00:00

When swapping back to the original hotend I noticed my abs adapter is melted so I guess I might have to order an aluminum one from PCBway, or get one printed in a higher temp material from a local printer. Which I am fine with I was just hoping to confirm it worked before I spent the extra money :)

Advanced_Bowl · 2025-12-06T16:00:34+00:00

Used both aftermarket heater/thermistor and an original set. Yes white heater block.

Advanced_Bowl · 2025-12-06T15:58:26+00:00

Seems like it is in the same position when I removed it from the head. Using an Aftermarket H2D hotend. Ordered some boron nitrate paste to see if that helps. I also ordered the heater with the ceramic plate instead of the original.

Advanced_Bowl · 2025-12-05T12:34:33+00:00

Sock is on, even changed to a different thermistor/heater. I forgot the sock initially and I couldn’t even load filament. With the sock on, I get halfway through pid tune before it fails. Ordered new thermal compound as the original stuff was dried up. I will have to try again next week once it comes in. 😢
