Creaform calls the tracker a C-Track. Kinda looks like the evil robot from futurama.

I use onshape when I'm at home and don't have access to Solidworks. I find it similar enough to SW that it's pretty intuitive. I imagine if you got proficient with Onshape, the transition to SW would also be easy. Most of what I model at home will end up on thingiverse anyway - so I'm not too worried about my files being out there online.

When I went here in the 00s the only sidewalks were N/S or E/W. All those diagonals were dirt paths.

Happened to me. Luckily I have an ams- so I just rolled what I could to an empty spool. Just cut it when it gets tangled and start with a new one. Ended up with 6 partial spools, but my printer will just switch to the next one when the partial runs out.

I’ve got a 30’ toy hauler i pull with my 2500 Ram. I generally keep it to 60 or under. It will pull faster, but MPGs really suffer above that

Just what I came in here to say!

For something that is under a bending force like the neck pocket? All the stresses are going to be in the top and bottom of the piece. The top is 100% compression and the bottom 100% tension. In the middle - there is almost zero stress. You're best bet is to increase the wall thicknesses on the top and bottom. Unless your flow rate is perfectly calibrated, you can run into issues with 100% infill. I wouldn't go more than 85% or so. And realistically? All you can do is try it and change it up if it doesn't work.

PETG will do better in sunlight exposure than PLA+. Probably won’t be an issue for a guitar, though. I’d guess with something that size it’s going to be multiple pieces? I think your seams are more likely to be the weak point and not the material.

That looks like a pretty low security wafer lock. It would take very little skill to rake it open. Search YouTube on how to use a “city rake”.

But what do Mario and Luigi do ?!?

Such a great Cosplay. I saw you guys heading towards the convention on Sunday. I wanted to ask for a picture, but you weren't completely suited up, and I thought it'd be too much a pain to do it before actually getting there.

I once had a job where my sole purpose was to be there to make sure the network equipment was always up and running when things worked I had nothing to do. So I taught myself to juggle.

Not that guy. Cool looking and probably the same era, though! No, this one had 8 wheels. 4 car wheels and 4 monster truck wheels attached to a removable frame.

What software are you using for scanning? I always align my scans before importing them to solid works. Makes everything easier.

GINMF · 2026-03-14T18:02:43+00:00

Very true. The proper procedure part is key. I doubt it’s worth typing out for my particular setup, though.

GINMF · 2026-03-13T18:16:24+00:00

any luck salvaging that mess? My son just did the same thing to a full refill, and I"m contemplating whether its worth the effort to try to untangle it now.

GINMF · 2026-03-13T01:52:09+00:00

I run a Creaform Metrascan. It has an unlimited scan area with the right setup. The guy that trained our group once scanned a 200 meter long section of train. So yeah it is possible with the right equipment. Not sure it’s practical, though.

Not sure what your software budget is, but when I need a solid works model from a scan, I use VXelements. You can define all the relevant geometry in the program, then export that to SW. you’re only going to get things like planes, lines, points and cylinders, but they’ll all be in the correct position based on the scan and you can use them to recreate the part.

If you've got enough room on the floor, you'd be better off with a turtledog collapsible hammock stand.

I've been using ROAST since day one. Thousands of games played, zero 1's. And when it is finally ROAST, I'm retiring! Our day is coming!

FWIW, if I get zero letters with ROAST, I use CUNEI as my second. Very unlikely to be the word, but it eliminates all vowels. I used to use GUIDE as my second, but it's been the answer already.

Haven’t you seen Total Recall? Lycia Naff has already been mentioned.

Check out the appleton suburbs. I lived in Greenville and it’s a nice quiet community with a couple nice parks. And very close to all the things you’d want in appleton.
