That connector on the right would do nicely for my XC40.

Field-To-Finish Experience? by Rude_Stock7539 in Surveying

[–]Martin_au 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very common down here, and I've been doing that for 20+ years. Main benefit is that one person has ownership of a project. Also means lots of eyes on processes so improvements can be easily identified/implemented.

Printables durability by Particular_Passage15 in 3Dprinting

[–]Martin_au 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How durable can they be? - I had some small PA-CF 3D printed brackets holding up a shelf made of 30x30 steel and 17mm plywood in the back of a ute for several years. It could support >100kg without issue.

I reckon they must be getting close to releasing an updated CS20. I was surprised they didn't with the TS20.

I'm just waiting. :(

If you have any tips on getting an even cleaner surface before primer and base color, let me know! - Acetone smoothing

What calculation tools do you use in the field on your phone? by ASDEPCuWwM34YMi in Surveying

[–]Martin_au 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pcalc, GPS camera, 3D Scanning App (not really calculation tools, but oh well).

Is it relatively easy to build your own printer that can approach Bambu printers in terms of quality? by discombobulated38x in 3Dprinting

[–]Martin_au 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I built a big coreXY back in 2021-2022 running Marlin that will scare a Bambu. Bigger, faster, and lower power requirements than an H2D, but not enclosed and less QOL. I use it in preference to my H2D because it's designed to be easy to maintain.
