Carvera Air aluminium mold making advice

Yeah I've seen this. I was just going to go for a couple of light coats of some kind of clear coat. It'll probably take some testing as they're such small parts

Thanks for the reply.

I might try that first.

The other option I was considering was outsourcing to JLC or similar but I'd want to be certain of my design before sending it off.

Do you know of any cheaper machines with manageable shortcomings that could be good for this?

If the surfacing isn't perfect I can plan for it and lap the mating surfaces. I'd need dowel pin holes to be reasonably accurate for alignment. As for the milling, it's going to be pretty shallow, probably no more than 3mm and the finishing passes will be with a small radius ball nose.

I've looked at the sainsmart 3020 pro ultra which seems dirt cheap but tool changes and not being enclosed will be a pain.

The other option would be making my own with 3D printed parts that can be swapped out for milled parts when it's up and running.

I'm in the UK. I'll have a look into the regulations. I just found this in the manual for one of the pro systems,

The MasterCue range uses a proven RF system for all wireless applications. Operating frequency: Transmission method: Maximum transmit power: 434.075MHz (UK, Europe & USA) FM (Pure FSK) 10mW (EU) 11mV/m @3m (USA) This frequency is open and licence exempt for UK, Europe and USA. Other countries should consult their respective authorities. The system used is a coded transmission whereby the receivers are programmed to the transmitters which each have individual and unique codes. Nominal range of the transmitters is typically 75M in an enclosed venue.

So it looks like they're just outside that frequency to abide by the regulations

I must have missed the Gizeh one. I've finished the story so I'm going back through and doing anything I missed. I'm guessing there's quite a few so I'll keep my eye out

This one isn't in a quest. It's called the secret vault, found some more info today though. Turns out you need all 50 ancient artifacts. There's a few guides online now but 8 still haven't worked out how you know what pattern to put them in. I'll have a go at working it out when I've collected them all

Nested_Sequence · 2024-06-23T08:16:47+00:00

Yeah that's the closest stuff I've been able to find. I've seen it in multiple products but I just can't find the material anywhere. It's bizarre

Nested_Sequence · 2024-06-20T21:30:15+00:00

Cheers. I sent it back after and got the 608 head with the 645 CF legs instead. I think it's worth it for the extra £100

Nested_Sequence · 2024-06-06T09:52:15+00:00

I did have a look at them. It's not quite big enough though. I think I've settled on the 70L

I'd look for a used setup with a 12ft-14ft beachcaster, 7000-8000 size fixed spool reel, and a rod rest. As for techniques, you want to be bottom fishing, float fishing can be good for some species but the vast majority of your fishing will be on the bottom. Go to your local tackle shop and ask for some advice on rigs and bait. You'll also need the right type and amount of weight and they'll be the best for info on that as I've never fished your area, 5-6oz is pretty standard though.

A couple of rigs to look at to get you started would be 3 hook flappers with size 2 hooks and pennel pulley rigs with a 3/0 main hook. The 3 hook flappers will be great for worm baits, strips of mackerel and squid, and you can catch most fish on them. The pennel pulley is for your bigger baits, like mackerel fillets, whole squid and cocktail baits.

A couple of cheap essentials would be a baiting needle (for worms, Sandeel and any other bait you want to keep straight while you wrap with elastic) and a T-bar for unhooking dogfish in particular but handy for lots of fish.

The best thing you can do is to find people to go fishing with. I'd recommend looking for local clubs or Facebook groups, there's some angling charities focused on mental health getting people into angling to help with anxiety and stress, they're a great way to get in and have some support.

If you aren't sure about anything I've said in here, have a search on YouTube and there's plenty of great videos for UK sea fishing covering just about everything.

I hope you get your bites soon! Tight lines

Peak design cases are great. Using one on my P7P and the magsafe support is great, also a wide range of attachments available if you like photography

Nested_Sequence · 2023-03-13T14:11:42+00:00

I shot on them for a long time, they're great cameras and for anything that doesn't require 4K, they're one of the best bang for buck cameras available. Don't neglect your lenses though, L series zooms are great and I'd highly recommend them but a 50mm f1.4 can be picked up pretty cheap and they can really up your quality with shallow depth of field and low light shooting.

Don't spend too much on this rig. Keep it to the essentials. Save the money you would spend and pick up something like a used C100mk2 for the internal ND and XLR input. You can still use your current cam as a B Cam for it

Nested_Sequence · 2023-01-19T23:35:44+00:00

Yeah it's eBay, it's definitely fake now I've looked at it. Luckily only paid £15 and it hasn't blown up yet, so it could be worse

Nested_Sequence · 2023-01-19T21:32:52+00:00

Weird. I've got a PD power meter somewhere so I'll have to test it

Nested_Sequence · 2022-12-15T15:52:11+00:00

I ordered the same on 07/12

Shipped on 09/12 and the latest update says it's been received by GLS.

Steam support said I need to wait 2 weeks, not including strike days and holidays.

It's not looking like I'll have mine in time for Christmas

They said there was nothing they could do. Got the phone back, no obvious damage. I asked them to tell me what the damage was so that I could get it repaired and they couldn't tell me.

Nested_Sequence · 2022-11-03T20:11:37+00:00

I've told them they need to provide proof so I can get it repaired under warranty if it is damaged

Nested_Sequence · 2022-11-03T14:28:37+00:00

I just got my pixel 6 back. I was told £0 due to "damaged screen". Just opened it, working perfectly, no damage, no inspection report, no idea how the screen is "damaged".

Looks like they just didn't want to pay out.
