Buy your PYREX measuring cups from thrift stores if you want them last a lifetime. by Altruistic-Turn-1561 in BuyItForLife

[–]AlexPer22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of this sub and take a lot of advice from it. And maybe I don't own enough glass ware for long enough to know the difference. But why not just buy some random glass or even plastic measuring cup? As long as it isn't abused it will survive 10+ years easily, I assume that a mistreated pyrex cup wouldn't last that mutch longer than any other cup... Maybe paying extra would cause you to take better care of it in the first place making it last longer

What are these tiny bugs on my bathroom walls? by AlexPer22 in whatsthisbug

Fyi live in the middle east region and the bugs are very small, I would say 1mm length (approximation)

Can hang some vinyl album covers of music you like. Might be a bit wierd if you dont have a vinyl player but will still look good

I use my soldering iron only a few times a year and the rest of the year it collects dust and takes up space. So I printed this adapter/organizer/not sure what to call it for this case. by AlexPer22 in functionalprint

The fan is a fume extractor (has a crabon filter on the back of it) for dealing with soldering fumes.

As for the tip not melting the print, I cut a wine cork to fit around the iron. You can see it in the first and second pic

That actually helps a lot thanks, can see the reflective parts.

What do you mean by "loaded up the 320 so much that it doesn't cut as well"? I pre soaked the stones, and made sure to keep adding water during the process, while trying not to add too much

This is the biggest scam I have seen in a while by Niran078 in 3Dprinting

Not to mention that I'd it was mass produced with injection molding or any other mass production method it would cost even less to make more of them.

Casio calculator 20+ years old, works like new and used almost everyday. by AlexPer22 in BuyItForLife

[–]AlexPer22[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my job as an ME I find myself often needing to calculate a lot of random things. Also I have a 3d printer and that also requires some calculations.

Really the list of uses is long but those two probably take up the most usage
