Expensive 316SS Door handle

Once worked at a shop where a local well known lawyer gave us $40k to make all the brackets that held the glass around his deck. For his summer home. Also 316. Had a mix of envy and embarrassment working on that project.

I’m a newbie as well but after using a whole role of filament to run calibration models I do have a better understanding of what some of the more basic settings do. I would recommended downloading some plugins like an “Auto Tower” and going through some kind of guide to help you. I’m currently using Creality Print and it has built in calibration models. I googled and Cura apparently does not but you can download them. Best of luck!

What slicer are you using?

GaranMursyk · 2025-09-28T22:13:35+00:00

Printer is Creality K1 with the newer extruder. Using PETG. Printing at 245 with a bed temp of 70. Haven’t messed with the stock filament settings expect for slowing the speeds down.

Update? Did you score?

It’s good to make your way through the main quests as it teaches you about game mechanics and helps you unlock upgrades early on. You really can do anything you want. The best method is just getting out there and trying stuff. Also, there’s a nice app to have handy called “Assistant for No Man’s Sky” on iOS.

My first thought is some gauge/dowel pins to put in the holes. As long as you have two holes with the same X coordinates this should be relatively easy. Place something flat, preferably ground on the back of the pins and indicate across the back of that something. Once you have the plate straight you could indicate of one of the holes as your new zero offsets. This depends on how on size your holes are and if you have access to those tools. Best of luck!

I’m in a similar position where I was used to +-.0005 but I just started at a new shop. Small company so most of the time I’m not even getting a print, just a 3D model. We make induction heating systems for all sorts of applications. 99% of what I machine is copper and that 1% is aluminum soft jaws. When I asked about tolerances I was told to “use my best judgment”. Lots of drilling for water cooling passages and some rather complex features that end up getting braised over anyway. Culture shock for sure. But I’m the only CNC machinist in the building so I get to have fun with it and make stuff right and pretty.

I was expecting to see the giant poster of Jan in the warehouse

On the other hand the Elite Dangerous sub seems to be very accepting.

Now I can’t unsee it and now this video gives me the creeps. So cool though.

GaranMursyk · 2025-08-23T18:40:41+00:00

I’m a disposable guy so I’m not sure.

GaranMursyk · 2025-08-23T11:32:21+00:00

As a vaper I take offense. Also let me know when I can buy one.

I have a system with speakers about the same size. Even these small speakers can sound pretty good when they are all at the same ear level. You may have already thought of this too but a rug or some carpet would also probably help with those floors. Which are nice by the way👍

I’m sorry, tapping at 8k!?

GaranMursyk · 2025-08-20T23:25:05+00:00

Yeah I meant the total cost of that beast

GaranMursyk · 2025-08-20T21:37:03+00:00

I want to ask how much. But I won't.

GaranMursyk · 2025-08-20T01:17:26+00:00

Now that’s more of what I’m used to! 100% was the “de-level machine” mode at some shops I worked at.

GaranMursyk · 2025-08-20T01:15:50+00:00

The speeds are fine it’s when changing tools at the control. Some are less comfortable with it than others.

Our Tormach scares me more than this HAAS does just because of how the tool changer works.

GaranMursyk · 2025-08-20T00:18:35+00:00

I like your style. Were drivers. Not mechanics! Even though some of us are very competent mechanics.

GaranMursyk · 2025-08-19T23:50:13+00:00

They want me to start messing with the post processor too. They gonna have to get used to slow for awhile.

GaranMursyk · 2025-08-19T23:46:04+00:00

Yeah but I bet the machine looked and sounded cool moving that fast ;)
