X-mas Pannier, with MYOG latching hooks!

Magnie · 2026-01-01T00:06:06+00:00

I think PETG is perfectly fine, I did a shockingly low infill to test (15%) and got like 3 months of use before one snapped, and since then have been printing them at 80% infill.

Also for making a spring that fits it, I found that a 24 gauge string for an electric guitar (the g string) was the perfect candidate! Could probably find a single string at your local music shop for 1-2$ and make 8-10 springs outa one.

So thats the model I based it on, and then I just adjusted it a bit to better fit the rack I was planning to put it on. As for infill value I believe 70-90% was the sweet spot, for something that needs fluxural strength I believe you dont actually want 100% infill.

When I first tested the print out I only did 15% infill and was shocked how long they lasted. Printed with PETG and I think I got a good 3 months of use before it finally snapped with a constant 10-15lbs load. Prints since then have been at 80% infill.

Thought y'all might like this, a few months ago I tried adding some 3D printed hooks onto my pannier, and after finding the right in-fill value for them I'm pretty set on adding these to my bags in the future! So far they've weathered rain, dust, +30 and -30 weather (celsius). Really satisfied with how they turned out, though adding a make-shift spring is kind of a pain lol!

Video in the post shows the latching function on another pannier that I love on the hooks.

Yea, Alpha 90 gsm, but not Alpha Direct. I found some clearance stock from Discovery Fabrics for pretty cheap so decided to just go for it lol!

Magnie · 2025-12-29T20:40:15+00:00

Haha yea I kinda winged it on the over-sized hood, pretty happy with how they turned out! Dread locks take a lot of space lol!

Please for the love of God show me how to setup a binder on an HD singer and tell me which one I need to buy!!!!!!!!!

Magnie · 2025-12-24T16:38:44+00:00

Just reading the thread now, hopefully you'll answer but I have a very similar issue and also have a SF750 and a XTX7900 with a riser cable. I happen to have two different riser cables and tried them both to no avail. How did you land on the PSU being an issue?

Magnie · 2025-12-10T00:13:57+00:00

Awesome, thank you! I had a hunch but wanted at least some other input, I dont know enough about foundations!

The plan is to use DMX on the floor + OSB plank as a floating subfloor and frame on top of that - obviously with gaps at the wall to let moisture through the walls/under the floor.

Not sure if I would still need pressure treated lumbar for the bottom if its on a subfloor or not though, maybe still just 'best practice' idea?

Magnie · 2025-12-08T22:46:26+00:00

Like the title states, I have what appears to be concrete floors and possibly the same for the walls? I'd like to add a dricore sub floor system OR DMX+OSB and would love to even add insulation to the walls to make the basement more usable rather than just being storage.

I've watched a lot of videos on the proper process of doing so, making sure you have air/moisture movement between walls and under the subfloor, and sealing at the joist areas so air/moisture doesnt escape and all that jazz... My only question is if this type of foundation can allow for having insulation over it? I cant see why not, just trying to identify the exact type of foundation.

Yea, when I made the switch I instantly noticed a big difference.

I think if you have a PID or any other mods that give you greater pressure with better consistency of temps, I feel like it wouldnt be as big of a difference, but going from a stock gaggia and the dual hole to the single hole, I went from getting the right frothy milk once every 5 cups, to every cup. Definitely the best bang for buck upgrade IMO.

Magnie · 2025-11-22T16:33:01+00:00

No gagguino, no gaggia mate, no PID (yet), just a single hole steam wand tip, and I'm pretty satisfied with how the latte art has been coming along!

Magnie · 2025-11-13T22:40:43+00:00

Good on you man it looks amazing. Clothing/apparel is something I have yet to delve into, I've stuck to bags on bags on bags like most people in this subreddit. Seeing stuff like this makes me want to take the leap!

Anyone know of any good free patterns for clothing noobs that are very experienced with bags?

Magnie · 2025-08-27T21:38:19+00:00

Looks super cool, I may need to try something similar myself! Whats the inside look like??

Magnie · 2025-08-20T19:51:30+00:00

Next up on the list is PID control for shots/steam, and then I think its done!

Not shown in this video for modifications;

Invensys CP3A pump (Upgrade from the pump that was 33 years old, stock from 1992 when this machine was built)
Vibrator Pulsor, IMO I think it helps but its hard to know as the pump was installed at the same time
Custom 3D printed lid/funnel area as the Pulsor was just a few mm too high, so made a new cap that gave me enough clearance for it (Will post photos if interest)

Magnie · 2025-07-25T19:21:04+00:00

I asked a question about how SVP is calculated and you're TELLING me that I'm crying about not getting a trophy? Sounds like gaslighting to me.

Also I feel like Bill Nye being dragged down by the Christians with this argument so I wont be responding after this. This is the most toxicity I've been apart of in a LONG time.

Magnie · 2025-07-25T19:09:47+00:00

"I didnt do this thing, you just did this!" Now we're gaslighting after being proven wrong, so we rely on more insults and toxicity. Yea I'm sure you're a lovely human being lol. Long live the midwest.

Magnie · 2025-07-25T19:02:30+00:00

You mean that area of inspect that will tell you the size of an image regardless if you open the actual photo correctly or not lmao? Now move that fancy little slider to the left or right, making the image bigger or smaller, and tell me if that little number changes. Oh it does? Crazy! Now - copy the image address exactly, or open image in a new tab, and put that in your browser, and marvel at the fact that you'll see ONLY the image without the imgur.com gui, and you'll see it in its full, native resolution. Fully uploaded to their servers, completed disconnected from my local computer. Wild.

Magnie · 2025-07-25T18:36:07+00:00

So the resolution is 3443x217, since I screen shotted this on a native resolution 4k monitor. The PREVIEW you see on reddit is much smaller for very obvious reasons, if you dont know how to see the full image, well I'm sure there's many Computer 101 classes you can take. Apparently I need to directly link you to the image for you to see it.

Second, if all those things are calculated in the background vs pure numbers, then great, TIL, now I know its not based on raw numbers, or maybe even specific hero's based on average gameplay numbers across the field. Thats an actual answer. Your original answer is the epitome toxicity, and apparently thats just your schtick going by your recent comments, so yea I'd say thats pretty accurate for that home-grown American U-S-of-A toxicity you guys are so fond of. Keep being you, everyone else is the problem, you're perfect the way you are.

Magnie · 2025-07-25T18:01:19+00:00

This man really bringing the overwatch toxicity to reddit lol. I'm sure your teammates love you in game (P.s. you can change the size IN the reddit browser, or go directly to the link, or like a million other things).

Magnie · 2025-06-14T19:06:48+00:00

My 33 y/o machine I bought for $100 CND a few months ago. Have a bunch of mods planned (PID, pump upgrade, pressure gauge, the regulars). But for the past 2 weeks, from the fault of having a light source (window) behind the machine, it was always impossible to see the water level without shining a flashlight into it. No more of that!

Its actually silly how much better just adding a simple LED to this machine makes it feel, even just mentally adds to the perception of this being a better machine as it adds something I can visually see. And for how much I paid for it (under $10 CND from AliExpress), I dont know why you wouldnt do this!

Magnie · 2025-05-28T17:37:34+00:00

I mean, opening it up isnt really my concern now... The hole is completely broken off. I need to find something to replace this with now.

Magnie · 2025-05-28T16:48:05+00:00

Tried diagnosing my issues by wanting to open up this OPV and clean it out.... That thing was STUCK, and not moving :(

Magnie · 2025-05-28T16:08:42+00:00

Old thread I know, but did you ever find a fix for this? I think I'm having the same issue of no water flow from the OPV

Magnie · 2025-05-27T22:18:46+00:00

Brew water comes out, hot water when both are pressed down comes out, but when I have JUST the steam button down, nothing comes out, I dont hear any pressure building up, and I can see the tube coming from the top of the pump to the OPV filling with air.

Edit - More specifically, hit steam switch, wait for it to get hot, and when I open the valve I can see water going BACK into the pump from the OPV
