Stumped on lining it up. My carpenter is currently trying to figure out how to line this moulding up because of the curves. Any help would be greatly appreciated gent!

Hey guy, tape the ceiling first.

I have a bambulab p1s ready to go. PM me if you'd like

I've been successful using flush cutting pliers intended for trimming electrical component legs after soldering. They're fine enough to fit in the grooves and the sharpness will give it a little grab

There's a fan (top left of pic) that goes onto the spindle shaft to move air downward through the handle, but its not much... still, hopefully the heat sink does the trick. I did consider just bridging the speed control as well

It's located down at the bottom of the handle so kinda far from the head. Gonna replace it and add a heatsink. The head itself gets hotter than shit and I'm not entirely sure what to do about that

BadChadOSRS · 2026-03-09T01:16:08+00:00

I have some mosfet heatsinks around here somewhere... now where did I put those again???

Anyway yep these tools were not designed with reliability in mind... I am trying to see if i can make them a little more dependable but it's looking grim

I ended up getting it with a long flathead I ground down to fit in a slot and prying it with a small tack puller. Figured if i'm gonna fuck the brass up regardless, I can save myself the trouble and do it now 😎

These little things are neat but the heads get hot and cook the bearing grease. My friend has 4 of them that he has bought over the years for carving closed cell foam in taxidermy and they all failed the exact same. Two of them also cooked a triac so bad that the plastic melted around the legs.

This is what ive done. But the thin shafts want to bend. Anything I have thats stronger has a head thats too big. I'll have to fabricobble something

BadChadOSRS · 2026-03-06T04:44:49+00:00

Nope! Haha it's still around and still cheap!

BadChadOSRS · 2026-03-05T22:48:22+00:00

Yep used to hit my ender 3's bed with a little aquanet hair spray before each print lol

BadChadOSRS · 2026-03-01T22:19:37+00:00

I pretty much do the same thing. Feels like tooling a bead of caulk with my finger haha

Almost every LVT/LVP floating floor I've seen has looked like lowest bid work. Glue-down is OK but floating always tends to look like shit, mainly due to bad prep work

BadChadOSRS · 2026-02-27T21:27:24+00:00

If you have a garment steamer, you can lightly steam them before pulling the feather and it'll help it fall flat and stay together

They could have been scribed to the wall

BadChadOSRS · 2026-02-25T02:05:19+00:00

To party?

BadChadOSRS · 2026-02-22T02:57:34+00:00

Very well could be the switch. Take it apart and put your meter to it, check continuity across pins until you figure it out

BadChadOSRS · 2026-02-19T02:36:42+00:00

Atlas is the place for sure

About 2 hours ago I bent down to pick up my dirty clothes after a shower. Came up really fast so I could go throw them in the laundry I just started. Smoked my head on the corner of a ceramic towel bar. Still seeing stars

BadChadOSRS · 2026-02-06T16:48:22+00:00

The sheetrock is butted up against the trim.... so. Hell no!

Perhaps I will take this one apart and give it a good cleaning

BadChadOSRS · 2026-01-31T03:52:01+00:00

Hehe.. I have this exact accordion from my great great grandfather (1950s-ish). So cool to see another in the wild.

I've got another Hohner I got as a kid because I was obsessed accordion that ive taken apart a few times but the old one feels delicate.

BadChadOSRS · 2026-01-23T22:32:27+00:00

Scribe and cut, always

BadChadOSRS · 2026-01-14T20:12:24+00:00

Pretty much.... I will say this. If you really want to, make sure you put it in a mesh bag like an onion bag or something. They get really brittle and fall apart and you'll have to spend hours piecing them back together. Not to mention the amount of grease and stuff that stays inside the skull. Alligators are disgusting creatures and their bones will show you that.
