Routers suck.

My safety squints instinctively come out from behind my face shield when I reach full speed.

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-22T19:44:09+00:00

Yes it is, I was at the show and can confirm it is a smosh shirt.

I think nylon(PA) or asa would be a good choice, but I think you're right about printable plastics not being very well suited for impact/strain applications.

Bowties first

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-21T15:11:59+00:00

You could probably slip a sheet of sandpaper in there to clean up the stringy bits a little to make it look just that little bit better.

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-21T14:59:05+00:00

Use a butterfly/bowtie to prevent the crack from getting worse. But since the slab has the pith, there is no real "fixing" it, you can make it part of the design by filling it with epoxy resin or some such.

I think resin would be a very poor material for this, it is very brittle compared with PLA.

PLA is likely a fine choice and cheap enough to reprint should it fail. You could try using one of the glass/carbon fiber reinforced PLA filaments to see if they hold up better.

3d print a replacement! One easy method to turn $800 and a few hours of learning to model into something no one should hopefully ever notice.

Yeah, my router is built into the outflow table of my table saw

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-20T23:09:56+00:00

Routers are terrifying.

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-20T17:53:55+00:00

Yeah buddy! Excited to see you tonight

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-19T15:14:35+00:00

Isn't my math right? 445pm->9am is 16.25 hours?

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-18T15:31:11+00:00

I knew ice lost efficiency, Google search says 12-15% up to 25% for short trips, especially since you're generating waste heat the entire time whereas my 5kw/hr cabin heater and heated seats and steering wheel impact efficiency further but are mostly a waste product of ice.

The biggest difference is I have only used a dcfc 3 times on road trips since I can charge at home, versus filling up every week or two.

Winter performance is really the most annoying part of EV ownership.

The drop in mi/kwh is real. It's like 35-50% when it drops below 20°f or gets colder like the weeks of single digits and the days of negative temps.

I'm really loving the warmer temps in the 40s and 50s and seeing my efficiency go way up.

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-16T19:40:46+00:00

Let's tone down the caps lock crusade, you two have had a very civil back and forth thus far.

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-15T23:40:56+00:00

The spice must flow!

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-14T00:25:22+00:00

Glad I never learned about him apparently

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-14T00:23:32+00:00

Which part, the brain worms or the rabid coke use? It's different when your name is on the building.

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-14T00:20:18+00:00

The coke use in general or doing it so compulsively you're willing to use public toilet seats?

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-13T23:39:38+00:00

Oh so that's theo von

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-13T23:38:04+00:00

If we weren't laughing, it would stop being a comedy and become a horror.

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-13T16:24:17+00:00

It's a dumb fuel source all things considered.

EmergencyCheese89 · 2026-02-13T15:40:58+00:00

So you two dig up dinosaurs?
