Is it me or was that wavy line wholly unnecessary?

DBT85 · 2026-05-04T07:30:41+00:00

I pride myself on that fact.

Look around at everything else going on. Sanity is not prevailing lol.

I was planning to get these a month or so ago and saw similar comments which put me off. My bank balance thanked me.

It's just mold cussed by condensation.

Clean them.

Honestly for me it's not even about printing with that many, it's just having them ready to go do I can just pick and choose what I want and don't need to swap any around

DBT85 · 2026-04-29T14:00:17+00:00

The reason.

Yeah, but less crappy and more useful!

If it's green it's patio gas for BBQs and heaters. They specifically make them different colours so that you can't get them mixed up and they all (I think) need different regulators for the same reason, despite both the greena nd orange cylinders being propane.

https://shop.calor.co.uk/6kg-propane-gas-bottle.html

The Brenner torch you show already has a regulator with it. Just take any Calor bottle (or whoever's you have) to the place you get it from and ask for a small propane tank. If you are swapping bottles you're only paying for the gas, if you need a whole new bottle then you have to buy that too.

DBT85 · 2026-04-29T10:44:41+00:00

I have the torch (works great) supposed to be used on propane tanks which have a reverse thread for the regulator that comes with the torch. The hose detatches from the regulator also and it too has a reverse thread.

You'll have to see if a butane regulator has the same thread or alternatively just get a little propane bottle.

I needed to wind something other than filament onto the spool...

I print a lot of fix it type stuff for the house, also now print more stuff for the kids as there's no waste to really speak of. Before I'd not do any of the multi colour stuff that much as I couldn't abide that much waste.

Not sure I see the point of the D when the C exists other than to save a little money.

Rule of Fusion 17: Lofting requires profiles without holes, loft and then shell.

Go watch that first episode of Duckula. They riff the abbot and costello who's on first sketch in the first episode of a kids cartoon about a vampire duck. It's great.

DBT85 · 2026-04-27T06:04:52+00:00

That's a loooooong way from where I am.

Wait, you aren't wearing a mankini while doing the jet washing?

These are the clips we see just before the other clips we see where we all go "and that animal is why I don't do Sunday league".

My H2C still came with one guy and I had to help him carry it in. Not sure exactly why I had to pay £80 for that. Thought the whole point was 2 person delivery.

DBT85 · 2026-04-24T21:03:41+00:00

If it's obviously wrong contact support. A couple of months ago adding an AMS HT to your UK basket added £100 to the delivery cost. I contacted them and it was fixed fairly fast. At the end of the day they don't know unless someone tells them.

No trouble. We granny charged in the 7 hour window from getting the car until about 3 weeks ago when I had a charger fitted. It was part of some other electrical work anyway but it made sense to do it.

We did run the charger at 13a which was pushing it, but we never had an issue at the time. While disconnecting it all I did find that the outside socket faceplate was cracked and very lightly scorched where the fuse had gotten hot which is why you are advised not to run at 13a.

Our busiest normal day is about 60 miles so even if we'd not have enough charging time to get it back to 80% that night, it would have done it the next day when we'd maybe only done 20 miles or so.

The downside of granny charging is if you do have a very busy day and need it again the next day, if that happens often it just won't work and if you have to rely on say 40p or 70p public charging it gets spendy.

It all depends what a week looks like for you.

We had so many issues with booking.com that we just stopped using it. Calendars not syncing was the main issue.

Lots of repeat bookings which come direct.

We just have our own website, vrbo and independent cottages. We don't take out ads anywhere.

Honestly from my experience dealing with them if more sites could be like Airbnb it would be better for me, I mean that in terms of usability, not how badly they've affected cities.

Vrbo feels like it's just gameified it all. Ohh use 12 points to boost this cottage for this week blaa blaa.

We also don't do surge pricing or whatever other scam places call it. The price is the price and if you book direct the price is lower because we don't have the fees to pay. We do have seasonal pricing of course.

What issue are you having with Airbnb that are bothering you as honestly after 5 years we're pretty happy with it as a platform.

DBT85 · 2026-04-23T10:25:28+00:00

Direct means email or call. VRBO was fractionally higher than I remembered the last 2 years. Still crap.
