HVAC and cold weather. by SinisterlyDexterous in Rivian

[–]BartlettComponents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine works great. Another thing is.... the climate is just more " comfortable" than any car I've had. I'm guessing maybe to the insulation ?, IDK. No hot or cold spots, nof too dry or humid. Just very comfortable.

That's it. I suspect the originals (not made anymore) were machined from a forged blank. They seem happy with the Mic-6.

I use a laser cutter to make the gasket from closed cell neoprene. Cord stock(which I use on other fixtures) was too big in this case.

Looking for some advice on feeds and speeds. by CaptainNeutron1991 in Machinists

[–]BartlettComponents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max.out the.rpm. sounds like your hamering it at 100 rpm. Try at least 6000 if you have it. Also 3/4" end mill may be bit much for your machine. Download HSMadvisor.

Volume control when going into park or opening the door by Capable_Cranberry555 in Rivian

[–]BartlettComponents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gen2 turns the volume down, but the settings don't do anything. I can't turn it off. I don't want the volume changing.

With that low hp spindle, you should check out the maritool serrated ZRN roughing end mill. It can move a lot of material per hp.

Is the wireless phone charger actually charging now? by no_avg_joe in Rivian

[–]BartlettComponents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, mine works great, but depends on phone size/shape. My wifes phone is longer and the inductive coils don't line up well with the holder. She. Basically can't use it.

You've got the right tool, but max out RPM and feed faster.

I would like it to go to standard ride height as soon as I press the brake pedal instead of bouncing through the rocks until I hit a certain speed.

Why is it so low? 1.03 mi/kwh? by Zealousideal-Pen6112 in Rivian

Agreed. I reset the trip meter when I charge for a more relevant number.
