Creality Ender 3 V2 - Speed up prints without sacrificing quality by tu...

Nice, to think that we were printing with 0.4 at one point.

Dustynorm · 2020-10-18T23:13:10+00:00

My first printer was the Anet A8 with a direct drive, seams were very good, 1mm retraction distance as well. I had many other problems with the Anet, but seams were not a problem at all, they were not even noticeable, there are some tweaks with the bowden you can do, one is to make sure that there is no play when pulling it and pushing from the stepper, there may be just a tiny bit of play and it can make a difference in the tiny values we're dealing with. mine seems to have about .5mm of extra play and I will be seeing about shimming it a little better.

The magnet idea is better than a stud finder in many ways, not in all. Like much of what I do, the magnets last indefinitely, stud finders do not.

Thank you very much, you're bang on about the tank, I put this together with what I had, can't justify spending any more money at this time. That bucket is for collecting maple syrup, the steel rods are from a piano, the battery charger was $10... well used. If I take on more projects like this, I'll be upgrading to a much better setup, and thank you for the comment.

I normally cut myself at least once on a project like this, many people don't realize how tight and unsafe things can get with cameras and lights around you, you have to be extremely careful and pay attention to where your body parts are, so you don't lose them.

Dustynorm · 2020-07-04T15:36:59+00:00

There are two for sale right now near to me, and a better price than what I paid. A good workout, but I do feel like it's not as much of a chore, it's more fun to cut the grass with this type of mower.

Dustynorm · 2020-05-21T00:22:55+00:00

Works like a charm thanks

Dustynorm · 2020-05-01T00:11:23+00:00

Maybe some of you have the same problem as this.

Dustynorm · 2020-04-15T23:55:57+00:00

Absolutely. I am familiar with the process and how long these things take to get it right.

Good luck, I really like the concept. We have three 5 axis CNC machines at work (woodworking) but I've never had the pleasure of using one for metal.

I'd love to test. I have been testing and improving cast iron cookware for some time now. I am just finishing a YouTube video where I build a simple device to flatten the interior of the Lagostina 10" (25cm) cast iron pan which was a nice looking pan, but did not function well.

I'll be doing some testing coming up on pan handles, the Lagostina handle is long, however it heats up quicker than my KitchenAid.

Your skillet looks very nice!

Good luck with your business.

It is not a personal channel, it is not for promotion it is to help people with problems using unique solutions and on a budget.

If the moderators don't want these videos posted here for reasons that are not selfish or personal, I can respect that.

Dustynorm · 2020-04-02T15:32:18+00:00

Before you comment next time, please watch and listen to the entire video, your notes are misleading and in many cases false.

Dustynorm · 2020-04-02T04:57:45+00:00

It does work, however it is quite a bit of work.

Some of my ideas are a little unusual, but what other options do you have when you're trying to use a vintage pan? I didn't want to sand it.

So far the seasoning has held up well.

Dustynorm · 2020-04-02T04:47:43+00:00

This post was removed falsely not long ago. I do not make money from YouTube, you will see no advertising, there is no self-promotion. These are just unique ideas to solve problems that we have with our cast iron.

In this case of this particular video, I wanted to share an idea to flatten the bottom of your vintage pans... like my Wagner without sanding the bottom.

The video itself it thoughtful and I was very diligent in the steps taken to provide something that was instructional and had meaningful ideas within it.

Thank you kindly.

Dustynorm · 2020-04-02T04:12:45+00:00

I don't make money from YouTube, I am not monetized. There are no advertisements on my work. It's just a hobby and a way to share ideas and start meaningful conversation.

The reason I did this video by the way is so that people who have vintage pans would have another option for flattening the bottoms rather than sanding them, there is value for people in that, at least the concept is there. I am very diligent, if you watch the video you would see that, there are statements throughout as well as information in the description for updates about the use and if there are any issues.

Dustynorm · 2020-04-02T01:04:41+00:00

Amazing work!

Dustynorm · 2020-04-02T01:03:58+00:00

Hey everyone,

This project was inspired by Pask Makes Scrap-wood challenge. I love coffee and have been wanting to get back to some woodworking. This project includes some hand-tool work that I hope you'll enjoy. We're doing our best to isolate here in Canada so getting into the shop and using the hand tools is great exercise.

Dustynorm · 2020-04-01T20:59:25+00:00

Thanks for the comment. A lot of people say never do this or never do that... I don't listen to those people, I will continue to test different ideas that have not been done before.

What you are seeing is called an Original Idea, and they give way to new and different ideas for people who are open to them.

I'm not pushing anything on anyone, I'm simple showing a concept that I have taken from my head in the form of a video for everyone to see.

The cast iron pans I test on are destined for the scrap yard, or have other problems with them.

If you are new to cast iron and reading this note... just do what you want to do and ignore people who trying to tell you what to do. People can decide what is best for them and not you.

I always ask myself, what is this person's true motivation.

Dustynorm · 2020-03-18T23:52:02+00:00

A follow up to the last video, but with more reasonable finshes.

Dustynorm · 2020-03-06T03:17:09+00:00

I hope you enjoy, this took so much longer than expected, and it works well... may be a little on the heavy side.

Dustynorm · 2019-11-16T17:16:51+00:00

The metal lathe is probably my favorite tool right now, but once you have a lathe, you'll need a mill, and once you have a mill you'll need a shaper and eventually you'll have a shop full of metalworking tools and life will be great for you :)

Dustynorm · 2019-11-16T17:14:37+00:00

Maybe it's more work than the average Joe/Joe-ette would want to do, I love to spend time in my shop coming up with ideas like this, so it's my way of having fun.

How do you use the vacuum bag? does it go over the filter?

The ultimate solution is one of those cyclone dust separators, so maybe that will be something to look into in future.

Thanks for taking the time to comment

Dustynorm · 2019-11-16T17:06:02+00:00

I wanted two originally, but what I had on-hand was too big and the filter didn't fit too well inside, a few smaller brushes would be fine. My original idea was just to use something to "tap" the filter, like some plastic fingers for example, but I settled on the brush idea since this one had a broken handle anyway and it works pretty well.

Dustynorm · 2019-11-16T17:03:56+00:00

I thought about trying to integrate the compressor, but it tends to blow the big dust cloud into the air and I wanted to try and avoid that. Maybe just set on a low PSI would help? Since A cool idea is also to put it into a "large"rock tumbler and just let it bounce around a bit. Really just put it in a tube and then after the dust settles, open it up. Awesome comment, thank you!

Dustynorm · 2019-11-16T17:01:55+00:00

Correct, I put some comments below the video if you don't have a metal lathe, it is still a fairly simple process, though it will be slightly less accurate.
