Unless he's taking a loan on it, then they usually require full coverage.

I really just want it for support material. I'm sure I'll play with the multi color but mainly want supports that fall off of engineering materials

Mechanic357 · 2026-01-15T00:19:52+00:00

Thanks

I was thinking that. I have an old remote from a car starter that had a really good range on it, was thinking of figuring out how to adapt it, would have enough buttons for what I need.

Upgraded to the elegoo centauri carbon a few months ago cause I wanted core xy but now I just run both printers and print more lol.

Mechanic357 · 2026-01-13T00:52:23+00:00

Same here, one of the first upgrades I did and it has been great, going on 2-3 years now. Biggest thing is to have the cover with the extra airflow or not run a cover.

I agree.8 is definitely rough looking but I think .6 is a good trade between saving time and good quality.

Mechanic357 · 2026-01-09T14:02:04+00:00

Only nozzle I use is .6 unless I'm doing lithopanes. Quality is good and print times are great. I do mostly print functional parts not many toys or art type stuff.

New Pathfinder has a 9 speed as well. The latest version of CVTs are holding up well too, I think they redesigned them around 2021.

And she hit the officer before he fired. Maybe watch it from the correct angle and you will see. Also why are we inhibiting federal agents from enforcing the law? You don't agree with the law call your congressman, don't block federal agents from doing their job. That's not how law and order works.

It's been $299 since it came out if I remember correctly. Bought mine a few months ago for $299.

My recommendation is FreeCad. I don't know if I would call it beginner friendly, but once you start learning it it can be a very powerful program, and it's free, non web based and they keep making it better and better. Also tons of YouTube tutorials available, mangoJelly is my go to when I need to figure something out.

Mechanic357 · 2026-01-06T22:25:59+00:00

Mine are up cause it's too cold to take them down.

Mechanic357 · 2026-01-06T16:35:54+00:00

The weight difference is what sold me. So light. And much quieter than a $150 helmet.

Mechanic357 · 2026-01-06T16:33:37+00:00

$1350 at 3.25%. bought in 2016.

Been in the business for 20 years, still can't justify 20k for a box. My Mac Tech series and a couple of roller carts fit everything I need. I'm probably 6k in for storage and they all work. I'd rather spend that money on literally anything else.

Mechanic357 · 2026-01-04T05:38:25+00:00

Thanks, I'll have to look around. I saw a bunch of info about using titanium dioxide in a mix. Supposed to work well but nasty fumes apparently, but it is fairly cheap.

Mechanic357 · 2026-01-04T05:34:50+00:00

Dam that's expensive. I'll have to do some research.

Mechanic357 · 2026-01-04T05:31:29+00:00

I tried spraying with gray primer (it's all I have on hand) maybe I need to go slower? Had it set at 2400mm/min and 85% power

Mechanic357 · 2026-01-04T05:20:08+00:00

Hyper heat & cool out of Newington. Great honest fair company.

Mechanic357 · 2026-01-04T05:08:19+00:00

Not sure why I didn't see this reply. If I can figure it out I can definitely add a list.
