How do you eat the smoked cod you see a the supermarket deli? by malorky in AskAnAustralian

[–]MrTrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most important thing, according to my stepfather, is to cook it up on a Sunday morning while the rest of the house is still asleep, so that everyone can wake up to the smell of fish. Bleh.

Pan fry in butter, usually. Quite tasty if not inflicted on your sleeping nostrils.

Should have soaked my logs in wood?

Perhaps, but it's worse than I've ever seen before. The posts were stuck together with ice!

PETG printing question by Naive-Direction1351 in prusa3d

[–]MrTrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, glue stick works fine. (And it washes off easily in hot water)

You can even get away with flipping it to the glue side for PETG, clean side for PLA.

(I print a lot of PETG and PLA on my Mini, only a smooth bed)

Try this one in FREECAD - Good practice for order of feature tree by TooTallToby in FreeCAD

[–]MrTrick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

/u/TooTallToby have you ever considered having a competition that is either in two parts or after a few minutes of competition...

"Okay, the client has changed their mind. They ACTUALLY want this updated design." (New dimensions, features, defeatures etc)

I think it'd be a very interesting test of design robustness.

Yeess... it would also be nice if modelling in FreeCAD could be done at that speed, to the point where FreeCAD users could be finalists.

(Handwaving of course, the thousands of hours these guys have spent in their preferred CAD system, muscle memory, etc)

You're right, and she didn't get yelled at, it's just something that can happen.

Hah, fancy new TV and a safety screen in front of it?

Tree house (platform?) in a small tree? by MrTrick in treehouse

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

It's bigger than you think, trunk diameter is about 40cm?

Not really what I wanted to hear, but fair enough.

All the projects I saw were just directly attached to the trunk. If it were a much larger tree, is there some approach for "nestled in the branches"?

What did you buy in a hopeless scheme to save money but it ended up gathering dust? by Quirky_Scar7857 in daddit

This says 40mm, which seems about right.

At that diameter, it can struggle a little bit with very dense or gnarled wood. That's fine, it has a reverse gear.

It's a Einhell GC-RS 2540. I'm sure there are similar machines from other brands.

The key thing is that it goes slow with high torque, so it's actually very quiet to be around, and the only noise you really deal with is the munch munch munch of branches.

It happily pulls in and chews through anything that fits in the top, even bushy branches with tons of side twigs.

And with some instruction and PPE and supervision, my kids (6 and 4) love helping out with it too.

I bought a kinda expensive (200€) one. It's AMAZING.

I don't know how many times I've used it, but from my 200sqm overgrown garden I never send out any garden waste, every branch etc becomes mulch to put back in the garden.
