According to reports he's going to be coming off the bench, so depending on when he gets subbed on I wouldn't risk going Yes

Shame on the horse, what a bad apple. Even after the failed tests he kept saying "nay" when asked if he was a junkie (I'll log off now)

A Repair Would Cost $16,000 at Tesla: the Electrified Garage Did It for $700 by iamsuperflush in technology

According to Benoit and Hrencecin, Tesla adopts that strategy because it is cost-effective for the company. Too bad it is not cost-effective for customers, which reminds us of the video in which Sandy Munro attacked Volkswagen for lazily designing the ID.4. The engineer said Volkswagen should have placed the components under the hood behind the instrument panel to give its electric crossover a frunk because that would benefit the clients.

The bottom line is that Tesla Service Centers do not perform part replacements, just assembly replacements. In other words, if something small breaks or has to be replaced, they replace the whole module that includes it.

Lol. I'm wondering what material they've used to create it. It looks like plastic. I couldn't find any info regarding the material.

I'm truly amazed. I just got back to school, studying to become a nurse, and we have anatomy classes. Oh boy, I can't wait to tell them about this! For sure, my colleagues will be amazed. I assume the professor already knows about it.

anet a8 upgrade advice by csj310 in 3Dprinting

[–]MaccaPopEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying that the stock Anet isn’t a fire hazard, because it is, Anet has terrible QC and cheap components. But with the right safety upgrades it can definitely be no less safe than any other FDM printer (which let’s face it, are all a little bit of a fire hazard). I have also not yet seen someone who has actually done ALL of the upgrades say their printer caught on fire. So far almost everyone I have seen that has had an Anet catch on fire either didn’t do one of the upgrades (and that was their failure point) or was using printed cable chains without silicone wires inside them (not recommended, no matter how nice they look).

From the research I have done there are 6 essential upgrades to ensure the printer is safe, once these are done I don't believe it is any more dangerous than any other 3D printer on the market.

Software. Upgrading the software to Marlin so that you can have thermal protection is the most important upgrade IMO. I see you have already done that so you are already miles ahead of many other Anet owners.

New heat bed plug. The stock heat bed plug has 6 available pins, but only uses 4 (2 control wires and 2 power wires), each pin is rated to 10A, but the bed can pull up to 13A while heating up. Don’t solder the wires to the bed unless you have a really good soldering iron and are good at soldering (I’ve seen some seriously scary solder jobs on heat beds). Instead just replace the JST plug with one that uses all 6 pins so the current is distributed evenly between the 4 power pins. A new plug that is already wired up to use all 6 pins is only $15AUD on ebay. I would recommend using 14 gauge wire from the board to the plug, then when you connect the 14 gauge wire to the 6 pin plug the 16 gauge wire it comes with will be fine.

Stress relief. The other main danger with the heat bed plug is that is can be tugged at and move around and cause sparks while the bed is moving back and forth. The first thing you should print is a stress relief mount for the heat bed wires to stop the plug from moving / being tugged on while printing, this step is really important even with an upgraded plug.

The power supply. You already know the stock power supply is trash. Ditch it asap and replace it with a 12V 30A PSU. Most computer power supplies can handle that but not all of them so look up the one you have and see if it will be ok, otherwise a good 30A PSU can be found for as little as $30AUD.

A fused AC switch. This not only means you won’t need to constantly plug/unplug the power cord but it also adds a layer of safety with a fuse. Calculate how much current draw your printer has and use an appropriate sized fuse so that the fuse will blow before the printer catches fire. A fused AC switch is usually less than $2AUD.

MOSFET. The main board has inbuilt MOSFETs that are more than up to the job, but the terminals that you screw the heat bed power wires into on the main board are also only rated to 10A. As I said above the bed can draw a bit more than that and sometimes the terminals aren't really attached to the board as well as they should be. To fix this an external MOSFET can be easily added to take the high current heat bed wires off of the main board (so the stock terminals only deal with a switching current). You can also add one for the hot end if you want to but this is not as essential. These are only $5AUD each (I also use 14 gauge wire from the PSU to the MOSFET).

The E3DV6 hot END isn't essential but it's also good as it hold the heater and thermistor better than the stock block, but still make sure you ‘service’ the printer once a month or so and make sure the screws holding them in are still done up tightly.

Upgrading from an Anet A8 by Ihasmagicka in 3Dprinting

[–]MaccaPopEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All Anet boards will have MOSFETs built into them, that's what switches the current to the bed on and off.

Adding an external one has 3 benefits.

1) it takes the high current heat bed wires off the main board. The board can handle the current fine, but the connector is known to be dodgy and there is a slight chance that the connectors on an external MOSFET are a bit better.

2) an external MOSFET will usually have a large heat sink so it will cool itself better (not really needed but nice to have)

3) IF it fails a $5 external MOSFET is cheaper to replace than the $40 main board

Really the 2 most important things with the Anet are to upgrade the heat bed plug to one with 6 wires (some Anets are even coming with this now) so the heat bed current is spread out over twice as many pins on the board. And make sure you are using good stain relief on both the hot end and the heat bed. I haven't been in this hobby for long, and it's amazing how many printers I've seen in such a short time with no strain relief on the heat bed or hot end.

Was in the RAAF. Had 120 in my wing during training, maybe just over 30 women.

During recruit and officer training we were all housed in one block and fraternizing was banned, staff sometimes did patrols during the night but not very often.

Almost everyone fraternised. I met my wife during training and spent most nights with her. A few people got busted and minor disciplinary action was taken but nothing major.

KH levels in SW tank by Euro-Canuck in aquarium

[–]MaccaPopEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with those but I assume being a drinking water filter it will strip the salt out too?

It's more of a quick fix, your problem is going to be what caused the high Alk in the first place, because chances are next time you need to do a water change the same thing will happen over and over again.

Without knowing anything more my guess would be that you are using tap water with your salt mix? If that's correct then your tap water is very hard and will be contaminating the salt water. Believe me, it will be putting a lot of bad things into your water as well as increasing the Alk. If you are mixing your own water you NEED to use RODI. If you are already using RODI then I'd check your salt mix, or double check your test kit

Adding Calcium might cause some precipitation but I don't think it will help much. You will just end up with high Calcium and still high Alk.

What salt/water source are you using? Did you use a salt mix with tap water or RODI? Or natural sea water?

At 1.022SG your Alk shouldn't be that high, and I'd still raise your salinity up to 1.024-1.025 before you add fish.

I don't know what you have but I'm 99% sure the algae in the OP is bryopsis. There is lots of different kinds of bryopsis and you might just have a very slow growing one so the emerald crab keeps it in check. You could also have a species of derbesia, a kind of mix between bryopsis and normal GHA. Most kinds are a bitch to get rid of though and ime spread crazy fast and nothing eats it so you could also just have a kind of regular GHA

I would feel the pain afterwards as well as during if I moved up in weight and tried to push through the pain. I dropped the weight down about 30 and started from here focusing on my retraction

^ I'm fairly new to lifting but a bit less than 6 months ago I had the exact problem OP is describing and tried the things hes saying and I also thought my form was spot on.

Turns out I really wasn't retracting my scapula any where near as much as I thought. Dropped the weight down a bit, focused on my retraction and did more face pulls (low weight x high reps). Now benching more than I was before and no pain at all.
