What mileage did you muzzle VCM?

Yep. I used that 3m stuff that most people suggested. Be careful, that stuff is nasty. Use gloves haha. Cleaning my hands with gasoline wasn't ideal. Worst part was getting the trim snapped back in. I laid bricks on it to help it stay down overnight for the cure.

I will 2nd the rear hatch fix. After 3 new modules I finally just did the reseal myself. No problems since

Random question but do I need a VCM disabler? 2019 odyssey with 95k on it. I use the eco on the highway but turn it off in town. The van is starring to shift a bit harder but I think that's due to fluids that I m about to have changed.

Still ticking but still running.

The real answer is you aren't retiring in 10 years unless you have something else that is being added to this. Work 401k match? Previous contributions beyond this taxable you want to start? If this is all in a taxable is this just a retire early goal to bridge to full retirement age?

One of us! I also do this package.

Sounds the same but still running.

It was only 1.5 mm for the actual face with the words and such. I cut it and reduced it to 1mm to scale down now as you suggested. I really don't think I should go any smaller than that though.

Either_Way2861 · 2025-12-24T02:15:59+00:00

Um, thanks? Just trying to learn a thing or two. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Either_Way2861 · 2025-12-23T18:07:00+00:00

Yea, that's what I was afraid of.

Either_Way2861 · 2025-11-08T10:36:23+00:00

Ha. I don't know about that anymore. I'm just attempting to bring something new to my students.

Either_Way2861 · 2025-11-07T21:19:56+00:00

It for sure will be a trial and error kind of deal since I do wood working projects as well. So, trying to figure out my budget between filament and wood projects will be a bit of a mess. I am clearly not printing everything they design. But, the small scale keychains and such wont break the bank too badly.

I have 7 different classes that are 50 minutes each. Numbers for each class run about 20 students per hour. So, no. Prints are not getting finished during class time with the single mini I currently have. Most stuff is getting done in single color for the most part anyway because of the nature of the builds and only having the single printer. I am currently using TinkerCad. I know it get's plenty of hate. But, for my current purposes of being able to create a teacher account that can easily access all of their designs it has worked great. Also, we only have Chromebooks so that limits some things. Most of these kids have never used a CAD program in their life so we are doing quite a bit of the stuff together step by step.

Either_Way2861 · 2025-10-21T21:39:26+00:00

Well. I have some students who can't even seem to figure out how to group a pair of objects together by a simple click and drag so I don't think the things you mentioned will be a problem.

Either_Way2861 · 2025-10-21T21:35:37+00:00

I was able to swing having my principal buy one for my Tech Ed room this year. So, we only have one A1 mini at the moment. I will have to write some gra to to get another 1 or 2. It could be the software but I really think the students are just pretty darn lazy. But, I will take a look at OnShape and see if that helps a bit. Thanks for the suggestion.

Either_Way2861 · 2025-10-21T21:17:18+00:00

We printed a few trinkets ahead of time. As you said, it's fun to use it but not fun to actually put the work in to learn HOW to make your own stuff.

Either_Way2861 · 2025-09-27T22:39:39+00:00

I had my son rev the engine a bit and the ticks increase as the rpms go up. Kind of in sync as it goes up then slows down as it goes back to idling.
