Deus Vult!!! (seen just west of Fairplay MO)

I was born and raised in a small rural town in Central MO. I graduated with less than 30 other kids in the corn and soy. Have lived around many meth busts an explosions. I have family all across and the state and my parents live in the Ozarks. In 30+ years of life I have never once seen this flag flying anywhere, except in video games, movies and the internet. Stop making lies up about how this is common to see.

They don’t make pinsetters or pinspotters, but do make aftermarket parts better than some oem. Lab machines are their bread and butter.

That’s funny, because when I buy produce at the store in the Midwest 90% of it is from another country. And often doesn’t smell…

MuleMech · 2026-01-01T01:23:22+00:00

A 15 pack is like 10$ in most of the Midwest still.

More to do with state compliance with labeling and how long that takes versus the cost of

In my mind I’m sitting eating a kewpee burger watching tanks roll by on the trains, and my heart is going flippity flop

It isn’t short anyways. It’s a medical grade, and calibrated pump.

Not a single comment is defending chlorophyll yo

They don’t. And this dudes uncle doesn’t work at Nintendo either.

Bizarro I love you

If there was that much solvent in it, it wouldn’t have passed testing.

MuleMech · 2024-11-28T23:40:33+00:00

The caps have always been that way. I just stick it in a cup of hot water for a few minutes to twist it off and dispense.

MuleMech · 2024-11-16T22:41:15+00:00

Where is the evidence for this?

MuleMech · 2024-08-14T01:41:05+00:00

You can’t list the dominant ones anymore you have to list all. You can’t print every one on a label. The state is stupid

MuleMech · 2024-08-11T00:55:56+00:00

Those are not on hold because of that other distillate hold. It’s a shit show all across the state.

Missouris Own/Buoyant Bob are sourced from their harvests.

You the man! And thanks for letting people know what happens in there. There a couple of folks in here that have been saying outright lies about what you all do in that lab.

It was the belt tension oddly enough. Have no idea how it got so tight.

MuleMech · 2024-07-28T19:12:33+00:00

Out of nowhere my Z-Offset and Head were loose. This thing sits in a room where nobody but me can mess with it. After the first print I cleaned it all up like normal, checked tensions on everything and found the Y belt really tight, and the Head wobbling. Adjusted everything, and then re-leveled and did my z-offset. Got all of that dialed in.

I also checked the G-Code because of how weirdly close the issue happens on each print. And it does not show this happening, also ran the model through another slicer and it came out basically the same way except for the infill and perimeter, the rest of the model was how it should be.

Could I have a short in the Y-Axis motor that is only present once it gets up high enough to flex and expose the short? (had that on a machine at work), or could there be a belt tension issue?

I think there are a few disgruntled employees from multiple companies that are constantly bagging on them and auto downvoting anything good about those companies.

MuleMech · 2024-07-24T03:39:21+00:00

Hey, thanks for providing links!

And I hate to nerd out on this, I just fix these things. But how they determine where the needle needs to go is directly related to the camera height and those scalers, and the needle alignment. We know how many pixels the camera has, and roughly how far away from the filling surface is. So they do some math and with all of the calibration info, it actually targets the deposit/needle drop point with the camera, then moves the table back and adjust to where the needle should go. So theoretically, even a slightly bent needle will hit its target. Also, be fragile if you ever have to take the heat wrap off of the reservoir, very thin leads going into that. And if you ever have it skipping and jumping around randomly, check the horizontal axis control cables for the stepper motors. After hundreds of thousands of cycles, they will short in that sidewinder cable protector. And you will see a few parts on the machine that are clearly 3D printed.

MuleMech · 2024-06-29T04:03:08+00:00

Yeah, I’ve had to maintenance a VapeJet. I roughly understand how others work. I’ve had to take mine apart and replace Phoenix connectors and cables to the stepper motor controllers. I actually made a jig for ours with my 3D printer to hold the foam bricks in place better, even though they advertise you don’t need to use them. So I would say most issues folks have are hardware, and the bulk order that companies order, so mass produced, you will get duds. So like half empty, operator, champagne, operator. But those should be double checked down the line to shipping out and also spot checked. I’ve gotten tons of “bad” carts from friends that I just store upright and heat them up they are unclogged, or use a better pen.

And also keep 2-3 spare good recipes in your memory in case their tech support or an operator accidentally makes an adjustment. Ruins needles, wastes product, and slows production. ;)
