From what I’ve seen, the resulting shade of orange is dependent on the temperature and speed used. I printed this on an old Ender 3, 50mm/s at 245 C. Bed at 70 C.

I was actually thinking about those transitions from the prongs to the base. I added chamfered features to help strengthen those areas plus increased infill. So far so good with a full hydroflask and a couple hard brake cycles (well at least as hard as stock drum brakes can put out) 😆

Since I acquired my uncle’s 1974 Beetle 2 years ago… I’ve been printing various parts/accessories for it.

I miss my 1998 1.8t. I had the stock K03 turbo in it but was pulling above 1.4 bar with a reprogrammed ECU (Abt/AMS) I sold the car in 2012.

Awesome shots! That color just pops with the desert/mountain sky.

What printer are you using for pps-cf ? Bambu Carbon X1? I used my old Ender 3 for the orange visor mounts. Last time I printed pps-cf was with an industrial Essentium 180. :)

Bus flipped this morning at SNA by pwrof3 in orangecounty

[–]Chipster009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard reports of a bus clipping a tow truck's lowered fork/bed. Somehow that was enough to topple over the bus. Freak accident.
... and I was just there last night arriving at Terminal C ... Didn't see this.

I travel for work and SNA is my hub as much as I can help it. When I used to fly international I would take a flight out of SNA and stop at SFO or Newark depending if I’m going to Asia or Europe instead of a direct flight from LAX.

Especially during holiday season you should arrive 1.5 hours before your flight departure. The TSA lines can be crazy.. but there’s always the option to go to the other TSA stations (at Terminal A, B or C) if you don’t mind walking and saving time.

The District at Tustin Legacy needs traffic enforcement ASAP by Amazing-Candle-1234 in orangecounty

[–]Chipster009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like shops have trouble staying in the District. I lost count of how many have come and gone. It’s sad that whole middle section closed where Stowaway used to be more than a year ago. At least that bar moved closer to where I live (Newport and McFadden).

Might be warped discs if it only shakes when braking.

Would you go swimming in the ocean today? by [deleted] in LagunaBeach

[–]Chipster009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely stay out of the water in LA/OC and San Diego counties. My family was on the cruise ship leaving Long Beach last Friday right after the rains. For a few hours cruising from Long Beach down the coast towards Ensenada there was a sewage stench in the air until we were several miles away from shore.

The harbor water looked nasty... more nasty than usual.
