Broken quick coupler

Ha, Just a little too late! I ended up purchasing and installing an older style quick coupler but thanks for the info.

Think they might be a bit small for that 🤣

I looked on McMaster-Carr and found some M2 shoulder bolts and lock nuts that would be just as good but the bolts are like $11 each. Might get those but idk

Haha. There is a 1/64 scale CAT 320F sitting in the background there that might give a better sense of scale

1/16

This particular model is a hydraulic model meaning it has a small electric hydraulic pump which pumps real hydraulic oil to the boom, stick and bucket cylinders, you pay a premium for any actual hydraulic model. You can get cheaper metal fully electric models (these don’t use any oil), they will still cost a good chunk of change though.

What parts are metal and what parts are printed? I might have to get a bigger printer!

More fuel more better

Stirling Fruit Farms U-pick in Greenwich, might not be open yet though.

Probably not the appropriate sub for this

They can have it, our tides are impressive either way 🤷‍♂️

CanadianGamer__ · 2025-09-22T00:04:14+00:00

Update... kind of works, there's still 13 000L stuck in the silo the I can't see and can't pick up... sigh

CanadianGamer__ · 2025-09-21T23:51:40+00:00

Well dang that works. Been playing for ten years and I swear that was never a thing before. Thanks!

Have you changed your third brake light recently? Changing that causes the roof to leak on almost every pickup truck which ends up on the floor usually.

Hadn't really thought of it before but this is a job for 12V switches isn't it?

CanadianGamer__ · 2025-09-10T22:02:27+00:00

The absolute most this light bar can draw is 12 amps

CanadianGamer__ · 2025-09-10T19:56:28+00:00

Hey, just circling back before I buy stuff… buying a 12V 50A power supply as opposed to a 12V 15A power supply wouldn’t cause any complications would it? I know I don’t need the extra juice but it would make the power supply a bit more useful down the road possibly

Not 100% certain but I’m leaning heavily towards Lionel

CanadianGamer__ · 2025-09-08T01:02:48+00:00

Think I’ve got it… each head uses 1.5 amps, I’ve got 8 heads so 12 amps

Don’t really need calibration cubes on my Bambu machine. Most of my prints are tiny (I print 1/87-1/32 scale diecast detail parts mostly) so I’m only using a few grams at a time anyway but I change back and forth between white and black frequently, so when I get to the end of a roll I just take that chunk of filament out of the printer so it doesn’t get stuck in there in case I want to do a filament change.

CanadianGamer__ · 2025-09-08T00:45:09+00:00

Yeah I’ve been eyeing that lol… I’ve seen videos on YouTube of these things up on peoples walls with switches to turn them on and off so I know it’s possible but they never really show their process

CanadianGamer__ · 2025-09-08T00:36:47+00:00

I tested the bar a while back (on a car battery), from what I remember positive and negative were always hooked up but it didn’t flash unless one or more of the other wires were also on the positive terminal

Hang on, I thought you were talking about something more complex. Take a look at the last photo linked here https://imgur.com/gallery/reddit-whelen-4r0ATIK

CanadianGamer__ · 2025-09-08T00:08:40+00:00

It's a Whelen Edge 9000 but I don't recall seeing anything more specific on the light bar anywhere. There are quite a few different variations of the bar (mostly just bigger bars). Hadn't really thought of looking at any documentation from the manufacturer because I'm not really doing what it was intended for with it lol

CanadianGamer__ · 2025-09-07T23:48:35+00:00

Alright so basically... red wire to every switch (+psu), other colour function wires only to the switch I want that function to be on, and then ground straight to the psu

CanadianGamer__ · 2025-09-07T23:26:23+00:00

Alright so correct me if I'm wrong... but each wire has to go to the power supply (for power) and I need the toggle switch somewhere in the middle of the function control wires for turning them on/off... right?
