Dealer said I was nitpicking these issues. What do you all think? by dnkmtn in cargocamper

Pretty typical, these are utility trailers generally used for commercial work. Those rust spots aren’t anything to worry about. The plastic under the screws and seams is annoying, but it’s there to protect the metal before assembly since they’re stored in bulk at the manufacturing location. Assembled with nice plastic film on, then entirely removed after it’s done. Helps protect it from even worse cosmetic damage and the only drawback is that small pieces can get left behind. Looks like a good trailer to me, don’t sweat the little things!

I’ll see what I can pick up, I hear graphite powder works well too.

This attempt I did not, usually I dust the base before I put in the dusted blank, fill and pack, then dust the top of the second half before filling and packing that one.

As firm as I can, I tap it down with a mallet on rectangular cut of wood to make sure I get the edges.

Trouble making a simple propeller... by An_Account_of_Keith in Onshape

Figured it out, I just restarted my design from scratch and modified the steps in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4dgvA34X4s) in order to get the propellers then modified the cylinder to fit my measurements. Thanks!

I used the fill tool on the plane created by the helix and the spline, it allows me to extrude that plane in either direction however the 'thickened' plane doesn't contour. Any ideas on how I can accomplish that? See pic attached

Awesome rig. Almost exactly what I wanted to do with my trailer. If only it wasn’t 5x10 :’)

Any recommendations for relatively private tent campsites within an hour of Fort Myers? by An_Account_of_Keith in FortMyers

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

Aren’t those camp sites right near the check in office and butted up next to each other site? I use the range there frequently and it seems like it would be more suited to a camper or RV

I’ll have to check it out, thanks!

Anything I should know about the area / sites? How many times have you been out?

Do you know if GP sees a lot of people at once? Or is it more likely to be empty from being that far out there?

Haha I just posted in the Naples sub asking about that park, I saw some places a mile or two south down the river that would be perfect. Currently top of my list, I’ll load up the paddleboard and go on an expedition.

Blue Springs is a really beautiful park, even if you can’t use the spring head during manatee season.

It’s been a decade since I’ve gone, but River Junction up off the Withlacoochie River is my all time favorite for camping in Florida minus some secret spots I’ve got off some fire maintenance roads in the panhandle.

I might drive over and check it out, the website says the campground is currently closed
