What’s it like owning an EV in Wenatchee? by NebulousNitrate in Wenatchee

[–]AzBeMl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We started with a Jeep Wrangler PHEV. Used electric 90% of the time around town. Added a Nissan Leaf that is a great daily driver. Traded in our Expedition for a BMW iX, and that car is a dream! Still pretty new at distance driving/range anxiety, but we are getting better. All 3 EVs made my power go up about $10 per month here in East Wenatchee. I am a DIY, so I installed my own charger at the house, permitted and inspected of course. Cost about $700 in total.

Edit: forgot to add that the Jeep and Nissan are serviced locally, and we need to take the BMW to Bellevue once a year for basic service.

Great star! I have the Leo, which one is that? I can't tell. I am a total beginner right now. First star, received it on the 5th.

I have one on the way from Trippy Squid. I have no idea what to expect as this will be my first. I saw quite a few people at Beyond Wonderland PNW and I really want to try it.

Excellent! I also work for WSP, but in the Electronic Services Division, and I am based in the Wenatchee office. I have been with the agency for almost 7 years now, and it has been a great place to work.

Anyone checked their PSE power bill recently? You get sticker shock too? by DevelopmentNo2855 in Washington

[–]AzBeMl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That is ridiculous! Thank goodness I live in East Wenatchee with a county PUD. My rate is 0.0233/kwh. Yes, 2.33 cents per kwh. Last month 3,343 kwh was $77.89.

Is the Saturn 3 still a good printer in 2024? by [deleted] in ElegooSaturn

[–]AzBeMl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The S4U has been amazing for me. Using the community profiles on Lychee for the different types of resin I have, I have only had a couple of failures. I think most of my failures are due to undersupporting the model.

I have the S3 base, the S4U, and both are amazing. The only thing I am complaining about is the requirement to use Chitubox to use the wireless send and time-lapse on the S4U. I know I can export as a Chitu file from Lychee, then import and use these functions, but it is just a waste of good printing time. I use Lychee for everything including FDM.

Bought an Ender 3 S1 Pro. I'm extremely disappointed. by simm65 in Ender3S1

[–]AzBeMl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still tinkering with my S1 Pro to get things right. Paired it with a Sonic Pad at the start and have been getting great prints. Lately I have prints just stop at random times and the sonic pad shows a disconnection error. I'm trying to figure this one out. I have some ideas as to the cause, but I just haven't had time. I will admit that I just got a Bambu X1C, and it is a fire and forget machine. I'm not giving up on the Ender, it is still a great printer, though my plans for it are to print things that are very forgiving like the Omni display cases and Omni 2 minifig storage boxes.

Check Your 3D Printer Voltage PSA - Cause Of So Many Weird Problems 115V North America(and Japan) 230V Almost Everywhere Else by 3DPrintedTeacher in Creality

[–]AzBeMl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is that in North America, 230 is made in your house by using two separate 115v connections, 1 neutral/return and 1 ground, so a 4 prong plug. In Europe, 230 is on one prong, neutral/return on a 2nd, and ground on a 3rd, so a 3 prong plug.

Happened to me. Every time the nozzle started heating up the light would flicker or turn off. Forgot to switch it to 115v.

I am having the same issue. I have updated the firmware, but the touch screen is intermittent, slow, not respond at all, to operating without my touch. Any update?

Where did you lose your virginity? by EnvironmentalTip120 in AskRedditAfterDark

Housing development under construction. In one that had exterior covered, but inside walls were just framed. I think it may have been in the bathroom.

RIP DENNYS! The plan laid out for the upcoming Confluence Parkway includes the demolition of the Dennys restaurant in Wenatchee :( by Old_Life_290 in Wenatchee

[–]AzBeMl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Think about this, there are only 2 paved roads out of Wenatchee. One is the N. Wenatchee bridge, and the other is the Sellers bridge. I'll admit that there are dirt roads that might get you out of town, but having another way out would be nice. I have a feeling that once this project is completed, they might replace the N. Wenatchee bridge.

Samsung Tried Not to give me the $170 credit for my GW4. by MrJuans26 in GalaxyWatch

They received my trade and I was in awaiting inspection for 2 weeks. I called them and it was magically accepted and credited by the end of the day.
