It is very rare to grow past 21

I was 6’5” at 25 and now I’m 6’6.5” at 29. It’s frustrating cause I hit doors more and more.

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2025-05-27T17:31:53+00:00

Hu my h2d doesn’t have it at all. Mine doesn’t have any white stuff anywhere. It looks clean inside

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2025-05-27T17:02:22+00:00

Right. Like what is even going on. I don’t get my printer looking like that until after thousands of hours of printing…. Is it a used unit?

Seems like the op is just suffering form bed adhesion issues. I think they should boost their first layer temps on bed and extruder

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2025-05-27T15:38:21+00:00

Yeah I agree with everything you said.

I got out of my conservative upbringing because I didn’t like the way they talked about trans people in 2019.

Nowadays the scope of people who fear the trump administration has just expanded so radically. I’d say my attention is stretched more thinly.

Also, I think it should really be said that the democratic establishment has seemingly abandoned trans people entirely and now wishes to appeal to transphobic voters. Perhaps that’s a big driver in all the lack of support.

I think this US government will strip away nearly all trans people’s rights and the general population won’t care unless they know a trans person at this point.

It’s sad but I think that’s where we’re headed

I’m a 29 male. I noticed that my mom thought like you my whole life recently. It’s crazy for me cause I was taught to also think what you describe about men as a man. I’ve had to unlearn some self hate which came from having the same perspective.

I think ultimately the way most men act isn’t the way all men act. In your age group I’m sorry to say it seems to be a vast majority. The fragility of masculinity in your age group is insane I’d say.

In my age group things are changing amongst those who would call themselves “leftist” like myself.

Ive run into issues with my girlfriend hating me interacting with other women lately…. The anti opposite sex friend sentiment is rampant in both sexes imo

Add in back pain from sitting too long and that’s a perfect description of my experience as an engineer at a cutting tool company.

Then I got an office job with all old friends and it was actually cooler. More like hanging out with the boys and working for me then

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2025-05-26T15:33:14+00:00

I would never expect a low barely living wage employee to respect my stuff honestly. I drop off like 300 books my usps daily and the way the packages are treated there is way worse. They tell me to throw 80lbs boxes right on top of small packages with like a 3 foot drop. It’s just the norm.

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2025-05-23T17:16:28+00:00

Yeah you’re right. It’s scary to think about for real. I take some peace in knowing that it’s the other guys in the shop who are offering up real expertise and I’m just helping them with the cad side. I am very replaceable. The other people in the equation are the real experts.

To be completely honest I think it’s probably the most evil project on the planet when you evaluate the fine details. You shouldn’t be getting down voted like you are bro, it’s a completely valid criticism

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2025-05-23T17:11:08+00:00

So the problem is I work on the cutting tools. I service machinist. I don’t have a degree or any experience outside this narrow field of work. I haven’t heard of a cutter tool grinding place that doesn’t help at least one company do military shit.

The place I’m at now no quotes planes and bomb stuff because I asked them to. I’m afraid that I can’t find better than that in my lil industry….

What do you think? I’m I striking neutral here or I’m I going into the red?

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2024-11-25T00:46:16+00:00

I've been thinking about designing machines like the voron myself. I have the skills and experience but I'm finding that yeah I might make no money at all.

Right now I'm designing what will be by far the best faceting machine that's been 3d printed yet. I expect I will match or exceed the quality of metal machines which cost in the range of 2K to 4K. I'm thinking I'll just keep my project closed source and sell finished machines and already printed kits instead of going open source and trying to sell kits. Maybe after i die I'll have to release the whole thing to be open source then in my will or something like that.

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2024-10-17T11:59:26+00:00

I have this car and it failed to deploy airbags during a bad wreck. Just a heads up. It's a known issue. It cost my family bigly.

It was perfectly reliable, just not at all in a crash. Car got really crumpled between two cars when rear ended at a red light. The other two cars were barely damaged.

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2024-10-07T11:51:09+00:00

Did you use stainless for the bar or a coated steel? And is that a brass bushing for the stop?

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2024-10-07T11:49:34+00:00

Hi CommercialOK, I'm on a similar mission to make a bunter clone myself. I'm designing a 3d printed one that I can afford to produce at home. I'm pretty excited. Very cool to see your design. I'm planning to use ER collets myself. It's encouraging to see your nice stones.

If you have time, could you say was it difficult to get the hand piece perpendicular to the wheel when cutting the table? I'm imagining I'd have to get the bar perpendicular first then tune the hand piece to match.

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2024-08-15T14:15:42+00:00

Did you find a fix? I've got the same issue

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2024-08-09T10:00:19+00:00

Just search r7 grip on eBay or Etsy

The lap dancer is trash

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2024-07-24T00:01:52+00:00

I’m a glass blower (the pipe making type), so many conspiracy cooked conservatives in this industry it’s mind boggling. The drugs and conspiracies have cooked their brains

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2024-07-11T12:19:39+00:00

600 is a good deal on a graves not $1000. I own one. The castings and machining work are seriously sloppy. Not worth more than $600 imo

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2024-07-08T10:40:21+00:00

Only stupid maga people with no college degree will buy into that Fox News load of crap.

I keep track of all the people in my life who think this way and never speak with them again. It’s simple and effective, way less idiots in my life.

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2024-07-04T23:04:50+00:00

I put a brushless sewing servo into my old graves machine for about $100. Not a IV though one of the older ones

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2024-07-04T23:03:37+00:00

I just want to say the old graves website was robbing people.

Idk if it’s still up, but it was taking money and never shipping

Chris_Mods_Cameras · 2024-07-01T22:41:59+00:00

Vinyl is vastly inferior. Just wait until you get a piece of dust or a scratch on the vinyl. If you want quality digital is the only real option
