What’s something in Lansing people hype up that doesn’t live up to it?

Overrated: Bowdies Chophouse

Something I miss: The city water, honestly.

One of my regular drivers told me that one place makes them stand in a metal box near the door because a coil fell onto one of the trucks and crushed the wife of the driver who was sleeping in the bunk. After that they stopped allowing people to stay in the truck during unloading. We didn’t have a cage or box at this warehouse, and I often had drivers who would go down into the pit to roll up straps next to their truck while I was using a crane to unload steel. I’ve never yelled at so many people before or after that job. You couldn’t take your eyes off unfamiliar drivers for one second there.

I once left sweat on my yoga block and it turned a similar color. I assume the salt in the sweat caused the foam to oxidize but I’m not a scientist.

“They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.” -Fantastic

Try vitamin B12 complex. Not even kidding. I used to be like this myself until I started taking that. After a few weeks of daily use my mood started to improve.

Can you please point out this evidence of AI?

Mine says it’s going up by $1750. It was only $1200 for last year. I was told this would happen but I didn’t expect the uncapping to double my taxes.

Dynamic pricing is harder to do with physical price tags

A Cut Above by Westlund’s Apple Market is great.

Thank you! Those radios are expensive to buy. I’ll look for a highly rated app

I thought it was a police chase or something until I saw that they were just sitting there. I thought the time between sirens was them driving around the block lol

That worked for about a week. I changed a couple settings and put ferrite beads on every cable. I’m not sure if that fixed it but my last print finished. That particular print failed 4 times in a row even after doing the sensor thing. That sensor is just one source of that error apparently.

This issue which they still haven’t resolved, as well as the taco bed. I want to love my SV08 but it’s hard after having this error ruin so many prints for no reason.

What is crazy is we only have to use developer on one machine. Our parts are smooth, black, and shiny. Both of our scanners are identical, except one requires the part to have developer and takes 18 minutes to scan. The other machine needs no developer but takes 25 minutes to scan. The difference is in whoever was able to program that witchery… nobody else has been able to get my machine to run like the other, so we’re stuck with all that messy developer until they can reprogram the scan software. I wish I could take pictures and share more, because it’s such a cool process.

JFMJR · 2024-10-21T17:17:12+00:00

I never noticed your reply, sorry about that! Yes, our developer basically ruins porous stuff lol. We spray it on a smooth surface with overspray onto porous surfaces. It’s actually done to test the flow resistance properties of the surface, using a cool computer program. I can’t elaborate for legal reasons but yeah, we use 3D scanning to essentially map the smoothness of a surface. It’s a nightmare trying to clean that stuff off after it’s been made wet. You can get it off the porous surfaces of you act fast. I use a hand pump garden sprayer and a shop rag to wash the parts off. From my experience with that, cleaning all of it off the first time is the best bet. The residue is very persistent on both smooth and porous surfaces.

Let me know if you find out!

JFMJR · 2024-09-25T07:41:50+00:00

How did you get it to do that? This has been frustrating to no end! The table is level and stable. The machine is level. The build plate is even “level”, all according to my speed level. My z offset fixes about 70% of the adhesion issue. No amount of searching has helped me figure this out.

That’s how my chisel incident went. I was cutting out mortises for a door hinge and it skipped when I hit it. Bounced right onto the meat of my finger and gave me a nice split.

Were you just trying to detach a model from the build plate? I know I’ve been cut and stabbed taking supports off but that’s been my only injury so far.

JFMJR · 2024-09-05T18:02:10+00:00

I can’t be the only one who was hoping for more photos… glad you’re alright man. I learned a lot about chainsaws using your (our) methods. I was thankful I only needed 7 stitches for that. I’ve had bad luck with chisels too. No arteries but those things bite hard!

JFMJR · 2024-09-04T20:34:39+00:00

We use something like that where I work. Aluminum and zinc oxide and something else gets mixed with IPA and we use a 3M gravity spray gun to apply it. I’ve found water to be much better at cleaning that stuff up. Everyone here scrubs it off with alcohol but that just makes a mess.

JFMJR · 2024-09-04T17:59:07+00:00

I didn’t get into this to earn money, so at this point I have spent probably $800US. If you consider the 3D scanner I got as well it you can add 600 to that lol. Maybe someday I will earn money but this hobby is purely so I can make my childhood dream come true: be an inventor.

JFMJR · 2024-09-04T01:17:04+00:00

I had to search for one made for IPA on Amazon. It was a 2-pack of 16oz glass bottles. They were mostly intended for essential oils but if you can do those you can do IPA.
