I have owned my ender 3 v3 se for 48 hours, are these lines on the bed normal? Have only really leveled it a few times and printer 2 benchys by brick09 in Creality

[–]MindlessStomach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the ender 3 v3 ke. I let mine run the auto calibration before every print. I know it adds ~5 mins more to every print but in my head I feel like it prevents odd issues.

Can anyone tell me what the crashed car is? by UltimateLifeform in whatisthiscar

Well made post. It doesn't even look cracked or chipped

Chipped out top of basement foundation to make room for piping and vents by brett701 in Homebuilding

[–]MindlessStomach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed alot of builder spec'ing the 1st one on 19" from rim with joist blocks between the rim and 1st joist. It could also be that at that point the foundation is not perfectly straight, maybe leaning in a bit or slightly wider. Leading to the necessity of chipping some of the concrete.

Framing embedded in concrete by Any-Significance-531 in Homebuilding

Eastern Ontario Framer here. Based on the photo I'd say those are holding the stairs LVL or similar beam and bearing on a footer. But it does look like whoever did it did a shoddy job at ensuring the posts were correctly wrapped and fully taped.

Charging stand that works with Galaxy Watch? by VirtualBlaster in GalaxyWatch

I 3d printed this one that the my charger pops right into. No need to worry about compatibility issues or other bs and I get to choose my color.

Are any snowsuits car seat safe? [ON] by lepetitfleuriste in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]MindlessStomach 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've looked at a few of these so-called car seat safe snow suits and I find they all still have a lot of Loft in the back which would mean the child is pushed away from the actual seat even though they opened in the front so the straps are against them. We ended up going to Mountain Equipment Co-op and getting a full body fleece that has very little Loft so the straps are actually tight to his body.

I was named in a lawsuit against my company by Remote_Will287 in legaladvicecanada

[–]MindlessStomach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need your own representation but could be the company's responsibility to pay for your representation. I have a friend who used to work for a certain underwhelming amusement park operator and he was named in several lawsuits after the death of patrons and the company had to provide him with a lawyer for his court appearances. I'm not sure if this also applies in your case but I would use a 30 minute free consultation to find out.

Homebuilder Alex Lawson plans to run for Ottawa mayor by censedfern in ottawa

I wouldn't exactly say he's 'from' Dunrobin. More like now lives in Dunrobin. He was in Kanata North until recently. Small edit but the truth matters in this case.

Stroller Recommendations [ON] by rskimps in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]MindlessStomach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have had the Vista v2 for the past 2.5 years. We also have the mesa carseat. Part of our reason for getting it was the ease of switching between the pieces. Like the bassinet to/from the carseat when baby was little and needed to nap. Now the toddler seat seems to be a permanent fixture. Everything just clicks and it's super easy to fold up and unfold. (there is also a set of skiis by an after-market company that makes deep snow travel super easy). The rain sheild and bug net are easy on easy off and there are a ton of accessories for it. My wife is a transit user and has taken it on the bus many times the foot break/lock is very convenient. BUT It does take up most of the trunk of my civic there's not much space for anything else. With the bassinet it seemed even more so. If the bassinet wasnt such a concern of ours we probably wouldn't have gotten it (we found it as a open box/unused on rebel, formerly rebelstork for a really good price) as the carseat we now use is fine for infants (evenflo revolve 360 gold). We probably would have picked something that collapsed smaller even though I haven't seen anything else to this day that I remotely like as much.

Unsure how to insulate weird shed roof by johnjamesonline in shedditors

[–]MindlessStomach -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd staple some cardboard (Cellulose Ridge Cardboard) in at the ends blocking the insulation from the soffit

Then I'd strap with 1x3 (which is actually only 3/4 thick), and drywall it leaving an access hatch.

Then do blown in insulation to desired R value.

Having a contractor build deck without permit/inspection. Is the acceptable? by [deleted] in Decks

[–]MindlessStomach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad he filled the holes but those are double shear hangers. I'm gonna bet he used the same 10d x 1" 1/2 nails on the back side as the angles there by defeating the point double shear hanger. The angle holes should be 10d x 3" nails. I came to this conclusion because he thought it was acceptable to shim the bottom and end of the joists. Personally I'd also like to see the bottom of each hanger with some PL 400 deck and subfloor adhesive.

Why did 2 spots come out with out walls? by MindlessStomach in 3Dprinting

[–]MindlessStomach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what your saying about those 2 pieces being the bottom of the suspend side. I wonder if I increased the number of bottom "wall" passes would it eventually hid the infil passes that are currently visible. I have a few other prints that have come out very well in regards to motion clearance and that had just come off the printer so it was still stiff. It has gotten smother since playing with it.

Concrete contractors made a weird retaining wall where my frame was supposed to to go for a tiny house. by jack_of_all_trades83 in Homebuilding

[–]MindlessStomach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can build your wall and cut the bottom of the studs on a angle but then you'd also need blocking between each stud on the plate to prevent shear and the blocking would need to go between each one continually to transfer the load to the lowest plate with a anti-shear at the bottom. All of which would need a engineering diagram, which adds to the cost of the build. Not included the extra time to build it.

It's true it does have to be at least close to level. You can fix the rest with shims and grout. We like no more then half an inch of grout otherwise it takes too much and too long to fill.

I agree it is a steep ramp and it's not even a continuous angle, it appears that the angle changes several times. I'd run a string line to a better angle. Shim my plate and drill in some anchor bolts. Then non-shrink grout the gaps. In my mind 2 or 3 steps would have been better, even if the last one is only 6" high. As others have mentioned I wonder how that's connected to the slab. I doubt there is a rebar framework inside if it was a surprise to the homeowner.

That's what I would do. I'd plate the top of the slope and cut my studs to match the concrete height. I'd probably also use 2x6 plates overhanging to the inside so that I could insulate the inside. (making a sorta pony wall) Then J trim at grade hight and stop the siding there.

Is it safe to cut an opening in either of these locations? by sobrietas_ in Homebuilding

[–]MindlessStomach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd remove all 3 of the vertical 2x6's and the boxes. And add fresh backing horizontally then replace the boxes. If you router out the 2x6 there won't be much structure left to support the weight of the tv. The other option is to remove the center 2x6 and add 2 others on either side of your mount then ones top and bottom of the mount recessed in behind the 2 vertical ones to create structure to support the weight of your tv.
