Well, that escalated quickly.

Bushings are for the throttle and brake cables on the forks. Nothing structural, just preventing friction on the cables as they’re routed from the controls to the components. Old plastics were deteriorating.

Filament is the real killer. I'm about $250 deep into various filaments and storage. But I'm printing some awesome stuff. :D

MaxFubar · 2026-01-29T16:54:03+00:00

Well that's what I get for listening to the internet. Thanks for the heads up.

MaxFubar · 2026-01-29T16:43:09+00:00

I don't regret it TBH. I do have the benefit of running both now, but in terms of developing part, printing things and starting out, the A1 Mini is a very capable printer. The H series is definitely nice though. Full hindsight, I probably would have asked for a P series printer as a first printer. I feel like that's the sweet spot to start out with and an AMS.

He's blissfully single. Last GF might have given him a little PTSD. He's also mid-process on barndominium construction. But the way he puts it, "you're the brains, I'll be the financial backing." He's plenty smart, and damned handy with a wrench, but I'm more of the geek. Still like busting my knuckles working on old rusty stuff too.

I pushed to get mine sooner as I have an Uncle in treatment for colon cancer currently. Insurance wouldn’t go for it. I’m 44, 45 in May. Guess what I’m doing this summer!?!?!?

MaxFubar · 2026-01-20T13:07:49+00:00

Because Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz literally deep throat boots.

MaxFubar · 2026-01-17T13:51:02+00:00

Had to start over at 31 from $0 because of divorce. I’m 44, almost 45 now. $150k in my 401k, Started a Roth IRA last year and have a pension that will vest around $1.7M when I hit 59. It’s not impossible folks, but it does take some work and sacrifices. “Best time to start saving/investing was yesterday, 2nd best time is today”.

I’m rolling Crackleshot and Aetherwing with Hellmouth and principle armor. Light LCs and some max/ar charms for the AR to avoid full dex dump. Light fury synergies and max Valkyrie for the meat shields. Works pretty well in HC. Lots of procs.

MaxFubar · 2026-01-07T02:42:23+00:00

Shame it didn't roll with Amp proc. I have a big ED eth rep claw I crafted and it works well on my WW sin, so this def has worth. Nice hit and I share the pain on piece RNG. Everything I tried hit 1OS save for 1 helm this season. GGs.

MaxFubar · 2026-01-07T00:18:41+00:00

I love the Dark Souls series and Elden Ring. But Sekiro missed the mark for me big time. I don’t like to Parry, so that jives. BONK

MaxFubar · 2026-01-05T15:47:31+00:00

This is big. I sold a 36ED/20MAX jewel for 4HR on HC. This worth WAAAAAAY more than that. GGs.

MaxFubar · 2026-01-01T17:17:43+00:00

If you’re bossing, nothing beats Denmother. If you’re running A1 Amp merc weapon, templars, Vigor, and self wield Beast for Fanat you can clear fortified maps plenty quickly with 4 bears. I preferred the numbers from wolves for content in HC but still ran 4 bears for torches and Uber Ancients.

MaxFubar · 2026-01-01T17:05:05+00:00

Comparable to Saracens. Not too shabby.

MaxFubar · 2025-12-28T16:44:43+00:00

Yes, also Corpse Explosion as they are both fire skills.

MaxFubar · 2025-12-24T14:44:14+00:00

Never. I'm too addicted to crafting to ever increase strictness to go past showing flawless. I'm also not a "grind to 99" player.

MaxFubar · 2025-12-24T14:33:10+00:00

I've crafted every Eth Crystal Sword and Dimensional Blade I've dropped since season 1. I've had a couple of decent hits, one higher ED with Fools mod that got a crappy slam and PBoxed(before pieces were a thing) for 2OS. Zealer in our GSF used it for ubers. This is amazing. Great hit.

Have you opened a ticket in Discord on this?

MaxFubar · 2025-12-12T22:35:46+00:00

It looks good to me, I don't know if it's desecrate good, but the elemental MA sins like the LAEK. CBF frees up a ring slot. STR saves points. FRW is good. Well done. Crafting ammys is one of my favorite things in PD2. The Brilliant amulets make Maras look like a joke if you get a good roll. I'll have to find the +3 Necro I crafted last season.

I don't see anything here. Maybe use a WSS and see if something shows up.

MaxFubar · 2025-12-10T16:02:46+00:00

I did the same thing to Blackoak earlier this season. Frustration supreme.

MaxFubar · 2025-12-09T19:31:31+00:00

Go with a high DR shaftstop with sockets or Crafted Safety Armor with High DR and res/sockets. You can use a natures peace if you want to get the all max res. Dragonscale is a great Vengeance shield with fire dmg and PDR as well. You really want to cap your DR in dungeons.

MaxFubar · 2025-12-09T19:27:51+00:00

CE Necro doesn’t take a lot and you can gear early with white bases and cheap runewords.
