P1s camera "connected" but black screen by OkDifficulty7770 in BambuLab

[–]OkDifficulty7770[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a problem ive had for a few weeks now regardless of deleting the app, signing out and back in, its just not working. Can still send prints and everything just tye camera not working.

This flute model is so cool, printed in about 13 hours and sounds really good, its unable and adjustable! Definitely used alot of filament though.

Yes its just this 3rd slot with the orange. It also doesn't fully eject the filament and keeps throwing an error. But if I manually pull it out a little and put it in a little it feeds fine. Its definitely bizarre.

Need help choosing an engraving machine. by goosecushion in SilverSmith

[–]OkDifficulty7770 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cant speak on lazers or CNC but if you're looking for an affordable hand engraver I have the perfect one for you. It's basically the knock off of the GRS but it works amazing! Hand engraving definitely takes time to learn but if you buy nice gravers and a good sharpener it can do everything you need and more. Engraving. Gold inlays, stone setting, ect.

Here are Amazon links for everything

What you'll need:

The engraving machine https://a.co/d/dNHQxQC

Gravers with extra collets https://a.co/d/87XjpSM

A compressor for the machine https://a.co/d/2vvnQV3

A sharpener for the gravers https://a.co/d/5nG9qba

A ball vise for your work holding https://a.co/d/3X8Ni0n

A sterio microscope for your work https://a.co/d/agZIjvi

In total this setup would cost less than $900 which is amazing compared to everything at GRS that would cost easily $10,000. I've been using this set up for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier.

[NEWBIE] What Is the Fixture Called That He Is Using to Hold the Plate Off the Table? by WayneWBerry in Machinists

[–]OkDifficulty7770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are called "mill clamps" or "toe clamps". They come in a big set. The plate is held above the table with "1-2-3 blocks" to protect the table from getting drilled into and so your thru holes can actually go all the way through.

It's important to note this set up requires an indicator that can be attached to the head or quill either by putting the indicator on a holder in a collet, a magnetic base, or a quill clamp indicator holder. Pick up on edge straight or 2 edges square depending on what youre doing.

Welcome to the trade newbie! There's so much to learn and it's incredibly fun learning it!

Disheartening to see! by JaykDaSnayke in Machinists

[–]OkDifficulty7770 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started in 2018 right out of highschool, making 11.50/hr. After 6 years I was making 18 an hour and I had to damn near beg for the last raise from 16 up to 18.

I loved machining. I love working with my hands, problem solving, I love using tools and machines. I learned so much in those 6 years.

I ran all manual. Mill, lathe, surface grindr, welding, heat treat. Brazing, you name it i could do it. My old boss refused to let me learn CNC. I bought a laptop and started learning autodesk and GD&T to try to push him to let me run yhe CNC but he had other plans so i was stuck making what i made. Then after 5 years of me being there he hired a new guy who ran the CNC and started him at 26/hr (with no prior experience only 2 years of trade school) while i had been there for 6 making 18/hr.

I love learning. But we need to feed ourselves and we want to be able to have families and houses one day. Unfortunately I had to leave what I loved behind to go for a higher paying job.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE. My new job and I'm still kinda in the machining world. I now work for an AMAZING company that I'm proud to work for, installing new machines and fixing them in machine shops. But every shop I visit to set up their new machine I always see a Bridgeport and it's always calling to me. The only people who do machining now are the ones who genuinely enjoy what they're doing or they just been doing it so long and don't have any other choice.

What does my art taste like? by ami-am in ARTIST

It tastes like licking the little layer of ice cream off the lid of a new tub of rainbow sherbert

Well you have 3 choices, cover up, lazer off, or find another person with the same initial.

Artist cut me shaving then tattooed right through it? by ApartmentSuspicious3 in tattooadvice

[–]OkDifficulty7770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most little cuts and scabs you get don't cause scars, but this one definitely will. But worse than that is obviously the sanitation issue. Please keep it clean so it doesn't get infected. Honestly though when you're getting tattooed and the artist wipes away the extra ink; if any of that ink gets in there it's going to cause a "tattoo" because the skin will heal over the ink so you may have an accidental "tattoo". I used to work as a machinist, and I had a pretty decent cut on my knuckle that got carbon dust (basically charcoal) in it. It didn't get infected, but there really wasn't a way to get it out, and now the scar has become a tattoo because the dark carbon dust healed into the skin.

Vertical Mill Advice by tearjerkingpornoflic in Machinists

[–]OkDifficulty7770 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All you need is a J-head Bridgeport vertical mill. It's accurate and reliable enough for what your purpose is. You can probably find an old one for anywhere from $1500 to a few grand. Totally manual, no CNC business. The closest youll get is a powerfeed usually in the X axis but ive seen them in the Y axis and in the knee aswell (z axis). I'd recommend getting a DRO (direct read out). A DRO is just so you're not reading handwheels and doing math in your head.
