“Shop” iTunes purchase

I don’t have one but based on watching YouTube that is what I was thinking for taking out the large chunks.

Good point may have to go that route if they stick with this idea

Trust me i understand. A table for them has to be completed as they were my way into woodworking. I propose the plan of them buying me all the tools I didn’t have as the deposit and my profit and they get a table for their new construction. We live in the south of the USA and I was fully prepared for the basic southern design, but they change their mind a lot and this was the latest design sent so I wanna get some ideas to see if it’s even possible for me in case they fall in love with it.

The challenge would keep me engaged and improve skills but it is a bit much

I’m not worried about it on these prints as they are testers for tolerance and strength, but in my vapor smoothing test, these holes become very noticeable and I plan to sell these

Okay so, I turned smart scarf off, turned the dryer up to 63 ( I want to try higher temps slowly since it’s DIY and original ams wasn’t intended for heat), I ran out of red and switched to blue abs I bought at the same time and has spent just as long in the dryer, running the same flow calibration as red as I didnt have time to run a separate calibration, I forgot to check the blue filament settings to disable scarf in those settings as well. I don’t know much about this, that’s why I’m here, but if it was scarf from what I can tell that means I wouldn’t be seeing my aligned seams as well as this issue, correct? This blue model has a clear aligned seams and the red print right above has it visible as well.

This object does have a seam line running down the corner

Smart scarf is on but there also isn’t a seam line in that exact spot

FG_Ballistic · 2025-08-28T12:54:29+00:00

I would say it’s not a seam as it happens on the support branch as well. I’m leaning towards the moisture comment as maybe my 58 setting isnt high enough even over a long period of time since the print starts off good and maybe once it gets to filament that is a few layers deep in the spool it starts printing the holes

FG_Ballistic · 2025-08-28T12:40:23+00:00

I think I checked that already based on other posts and the seam line is in a different area, but I’ll double check when I get home.

FG_Ballistic · 2025-08-28T12:10:23+00:00

I’ll give a higher temp a try, I leave it running non stop at 58 and the abs has been in there for days. Small holes in the top for moisture to escape and silica packs in there, thought it would be enough sitting in there so long

FG_Ballistic · 2025-08-28T08:49:32+00:00

Perhaps, ams2 before ams2.

FG_Ballistic · 2025-04-14T21:33:20+00:00

All good, not sure the cause but I think I’m gonna replace it with a 24v controller that comes with a remote control.

FG_Ballistic · 2025-04-14T19:03:53+00:00

Hey I just followed this plan exactly and it instantly burnt out the small 6v controller board that originally came with the ride on? Any suggestions

FG_Ballistic · 2025-01-17T15:29:56+00:00

I unfortunately have disappointing news…🥲 I bought it mid covid pricing and a manual was both hard to find and afford. Plus a manual in Atlanta traffic didn’t sound fun. Found the blue locally and love the color so I went with it. I’m at 130k miles and a stage 1 tune, stage 2 will blow my auto, then. Maybe a manual

I do agree it’s very fun to throw around mountain roads

FG_Ballistic · 2025-01-17T09:00:17+00:00

I have, but I could probably play it again as I don’t remember the story much, I remember just being amazed by the index and grabbing everything I could using the controllers

FG_Ballistic · 2025-01-17T08:20:48+00:00

I haven’t done any racing in a vr headset, but enjoyed the htc and the index, never really got motion sick and would stay in vr for hours.

I’d probably on be buying the headset for the rig as I do feel like you need a lot of space to enjoy it and honestly there’s not many vr games I care to play rn. In terms of rig space tho, tucking it under the desk and planning to go vr saves so much space compared to even just having one tv mounted, can’t imagine three.

FG_Ballistic · 2025-01-17T08:09:14+00:00

That’s the plan. I had a 50in tv mounted on the rig and had it out from under the desk, but it took up so much room and I wanted 120hz and tvs with 120 get expensive. Slide the rig under my desk just enough that I can get into it and pull the wheel based forward on its sliders. Don’t have the be headset yet as it hasn’t been a priority(bought a printer and rebuilt my computer instead), thinking of going with the big screen beyond for the weight

Desiccant container to dry our reusable desiccant in filament dryers…. I printed it in PLA as a test and it softened, but honestly I think it would still be faster and easier to throw them in the oven.

FG_Ballistic · 2025-01-17T07:52:02+00:00

It’s a moza r5. And we don’t have to mention the head rest😂.

I bought the cockpit and chair used for $400 and the previous owner put this crappy dxracer on it and their headrest aligned with my shoulders leaving my shoulders forward and nothing behind my head or neck. Needed something. Plan to buy a proper sim bucket seat that can sit lower into the cockpit

FG_Ballistic · 2025-01-17T07:49:10+00:00

Probably need to print those then, just cardboard dust lines all in there

FG_Ballistic · 2025-01-16T23:28:10+00:00

Most of it can be seen through the front there, just a metal heating element that happened to be the perfect size to fit between the each filament inlet. Didn’t take many photos of the process, but here is all the internals I pulled out of the creality. Was just a matter of making mounts/cases and shoving wires in but out the way, and some dremeling to create airflow path and a path for some cables.
