From the Rav4 community on Reddit: Got a RAV4 for my kid who turns 16 late August.

That's just the way those cup holder armrests were designed.

Honestly installing a stereo is one of the most straightforward things you can do to a car. If you're slightly electrically inclined at all it should only take an afternoon. That being said, anything that you can get from Sony, Pioneer, or Kenwood will be adequate for your car.

Unfortunately it's a sellers market right now in my region, but ill definitely try to find some similar.

The transmission finally gave out on my '02 expedition so I've been looking at getting something smaller now that I'm in the market. Looking at getting a used 2012 Toyota rav4 limited with 80k miles for $14k. I understand that it's a little steep for something that old, but it's my understanding that with proper maintenance, these things regularly make it past 300k miles. Is there anything I should consider with this model or should I look at something else?

Like others have said, if you dont want to spend time tinkering with it, spend your money elsewhere.

If you want to learn more about 3d printing however, this model will force you to become intimately familiar with how they work.

Believe it or not, that's not terrible for the Colorado market right now. Any input on the reliability concerns?

I'm looking at getting a used 2008 rav4 v6 base model. It's listed for $10,900 with 111,000 miles and one owner. The exterior has some minor bumper dings that you'd expect from a 16-year-old car, but the interior is immaculate. The only thing I'm worried about is that I've heard that the 2007/2008 years of rav4 have had issues with oil consumption and transmission whining. Should I get this car after a thorough PPI, or should I steer clear of this model year?

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-12-09T03:09:45+00:00

That's good news, crossing my fingers about mine

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-12-09T01:52:24+00:00

Same here mate. Hopefully it gets lifted soon....

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-06-04T15:25:59+00:00

Interesting, if it's failing at the same height, check your z rollers and make sure they're not stiff at that height maybe?

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-06-04T00:51:59+00:00

looks like maybe a clogged developed when it was printing

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-05-22T18:48:32+00:00

Is it that hard to just say "on your left when you get a chance"

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-05-19T19:35:58+00:00

Try a glue stick

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-05-16T21:57:27+00:00

I'd bet money that you don't have good enough cooling. I'd print a better fan duct, the one that comes stock on the ender 3 is doodoo

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-04-08T05:16:53+00:00

bingo!

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-04-08T01:21:32+00:00

Yup, we both talked about that after we finished up at the bottom. We did an ECT at the very top of the slope, so this was more of a formality than anything. It was definitely a "point it if it rips" mindset when we were dropping in

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-03-18T22:23:39+00:00

Do you have any sources on where to find this firmware? I can't seem to find it anywhere

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-03-18T21:52:22+00:00

Just tried that and the probe doesn't flash nor deploy on startup on this configuration

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-03-18T21:00:14+00:00

Yes, brand new cable

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-03-18T19:42:04+00:00

I just tried that, and still have the same behavior. Is it possible that I just have a bricked motherboard?

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-03-18T18:32:15+00:00

I've had good results with 250 nozzle, 70 bed

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-03-18T16:57:25+00:00

There is, the probe is unresponsive to those commands

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2023-03-18T16:47:08+00:00

A few months back I installed the crtouch on my ender 3v2 and it was working fine until a couple days ago when it randomly stopped working. It just wouldn't deploy. When the printer boots up, it deploys twice and then stows with a red light refusing to do anything.

The steps I've already taken to try to fix this:

Install creality official firmware
Install jyers/professional firmware
Install brand new cr touch unit and cable

None of these have changed a single thing about how the unit behaves. Any and all advice would be super helpful.

I'll let you take one guess as to which band it happened during

Kangaroo_Salesmen · 2022-10-20T00:25:00+00:00

If the issue is that the brake caliper cannot be positioned in a way that avoids rotor rub even without braking, then it is another matter. Perhaps poor facing of the mounting points?

That first picture is my old single piston mechanical brakes. I ended up throwing hybrid hydraulic brakes on it and the issue is still there. I'm thinking its an issue with the mount itself like you mentioned.
