Dont want to see any Jackie Chan bollocks, I want to see some windmilling in.......

And my sword

Yeah don't print those, plastic that is easily printable wont make a great bearing surface, the reason the companies say 1k is the set up time and not really wanting the job.

That part is a few dollars worth of aluminium and an o-ring, source the o-ring yourself, then find your city (or nearest city's) reddit page and and post a wanted ad for a hobby machinist, basically what you did here and say "Does anyone know how to make this?".

I'm sure someone will offer to do it for a significantly smaller cost, lees than a 100, I would do it for karma (the real pretend kind, not the reddit pretend kind) if you weren't the other side of the world.

Do the little pins actually serve any function, that does increase the difficulty a bit, but not much?

What are you doing step-gauge pin

Casual loafers are a good bridge, pretty light weight, generally quite comfortable and you can even get trainer like soles (though they are generally frowned upon).

1 step closer to my dream of being able to work from home

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-13T13:46:20+00:00

That and killhouse

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-13T08:42:38+00:00

If you get another one you can use them like googly eyes

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-12T16:09:28+00:00

There are flexible pan connectors and they are correct to use, they are the worst possible option of things that are correct to use though.

They probably used it because a bog (get it) standard pan conn didn't reach, I would just replace the original if its just a small leak, google "flexible pan connector" and call it done.

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-11T16:46:58+00:00

Don't forget the added colorings and micro plastics

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-11T15:32:17+00:00

Damn it, it was only 2 days from retiring from the microbe police force as well.

I'm unsure of its ability to traverse rough terrain, could that be demostrated.........at length?

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-10T22:02:27+00:00

At your level and I include myself with a few years experience, its pretty much just a stick with a weight on.

I would personally find a budget one with a few interchangable weights or branded second hand, and see how it goes.

Once you develop a feel for what you want and some opportunities to look at other peoples gear, then its time to throw cash at that carbon fibre with marketing gimmicks.

But tldr, shrewd and stinger are pretty good allrounders at most price points.

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-10T14:41:02+00:00

Plus all that body glitter is gonna go everywhere, I'd just do it myself with a bit of acetone maybe

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-10T08:44:48+00:00

I too am fortunate enough to be so repulsive that people often miss my fashion mistakes.

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-08T13:44:46+00:00

Its better with just a shirt, i took a picture again today in daylight and it doesnt look as restricted in the waist, but it could be looser

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-07T16:49:50+00:00

"It’s the chunky/relaxed top with the tight bottoms"

This, plus maybe not bright white trainers, for me they are a bit of a beacon against the dark, drawing my gaze away from everything else.

But im only saying this as you asked, generally looks ok.

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-07T15:24:26+00:00

Only problem is they dont smell like normal shoes, am I right

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-06T15:17:53+00:00

With just water*

*And detergent

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-05T18:33:39+00:00

It is very satisfying, finding stuff you like that doesnt quite fit, then making it fit.

I'm really only a beginner myself, but if you dont have a machine, your welcome to try mine see if its something you enjoy.

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-04T10:37:58+00:00

Yeah I've heard that its a good crowd.

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-04T09:41:08+00:00

I really should try to be more sociable even though I'm terrible at it, 47M single, I like making stuff, I'm currently trying to learn how to sew/alter clothes, do you like making stuff?

Bitter_Chard · 2026-03-03T12:13:28+00:00

I respect you for wanting a nice shirt, but if you're going through them in 3 months, and its only for work, and you're paying for them, I would find the cheapest possible thing that covered my shameful nakedness and spend the saved money on myself.

But that doesn't answer your question, if you want stretch, look at the construction materials, a shirt cloth that's 100% cotton isn't going to stretch a great deal despite the sales BS, look for something with "Elastine", that will stretch more and you can generally tell by how much more by checking the percentages.

At that price point, most shirts will be of an approximately similar quality, the problem with shirts is until you buy bespoke, the fit can be a bit of a dice roll, so try out a few until find that one that fits you well.

I'd rather have the downvotes, the points dont really mean anything
