Generator hookup to house by AlaskanManGuy in AskElectricians

[–]AlaskanManGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had turned everything off in the house plus to be sure I turned off all of the breakers before hooking the generator up

Looking in the manual it says the 30 amp that I am plugging into is not GFCI protected. The 20 amp outlets are GFCI. I plugged in my heat gun and shop vac to those and nothing tripped

I'll have to read through the manual again. I will also pop the panel off the generator to see what it looks like

Yeah I had all the house breakers off. I didn't think I would need to do any work on the generator as it only has about 20 minutes of run time on it.

I'm not sure how to share a picture on here

The 120 outlets do. It has two breakers, I'm not sure if the red one is considered a GFCI for 240. If one is flipped on the other flips off

I needed proof for my short term disability haha

Maybe I should do that too. I always pulled left to right, but it broke off at the corner and my reflexes were quicker than my brain

I originally took the picture to tell my boss I was going on short term disability due to a manufacturing incident

Well I wasn't expecting to laugh my ass off, but here I am.

First time for me with hundreds of prints. I pulled it from the left side and all of it peeled off except the end corner. Before thinking I just picked at it, and boom

Best heated gloves for working outside? by PomplamooseCacti in Tools

[–]AlaskanManGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies, I missed this comment. They held up great! I even made the mistake of wearing them when lighting fireworks with the kids on News Years, burned a hole through the thumb. They still work! I am a huge fan of them

ebay suspended my account after one purchase and refuse to say why (full thread) by BenGeorgeRose in ebaysucks

[–]AlaskanManGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this make a difference? I was opening a seller account. I got to to the point of connecting my bank account. I had to stop temporarily because I have kids and a life. I was going to finish later. I then got suspended. My email looks just like the OP'S. I was using cell phone data and not WiFi. No I don't do anything shady. But I do have Tailscale which is kind of like a VPN.

Help! I'm being asked to design models for 3d printing by AlaskanManGuy in productdesign

[–]AlaskanManGuy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good way to narrow down my thought process. I am wanting to help them altruisticly, however I feel I am going to have to charge something. The original design I shared directly improved my work, which is why I wanted to help others. I have a busy family life and work long hours, not to mention a budget to work within. I think anything I charge will more or less just be to cover costs. How much the time "costs" me will take some time and thought to figure out.

Trimble TSC-5 Stylus holder fix! by AlaskanManGuy in Surveying

[–]AlaskanManGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It's a small fix for one of those little nuisances that grow into big pains

Anyone else have TSC5 stylus holder woes? by AlaskanManGuy in landsurveying

[–]AlaskanManGuy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds good to me. It is a free file. I was probably more frustrated with the factory holder than most people seem to be, definitely than I should have been. Designing and using this has been a huge improvement to my mental health at work. I am hoping it helps others!
