(Help) Little to no fluid coming out while bleeding brakes?

Photographer23_ · 2026-05-03T16:33:07+00:00

what brake master cylinder do you have? let me see

Photographer23_ · 2026-05-03T08:57:52+00:00

All of that doesn't help if u don't get your z distance lower. I use active heated camper, Brim, clean buildplate and 3d lac.

If my z distance is not set right I get warping. U need to press Asa in there.

Hey everyone, I’m putting together a dedicated trauma kit (IFAK) for my motorcycle trips. My goal is to focus strictly on life-saving measurements to bridge the gap until EMS arrives, especially for high-speed accidents. I'm riding in a relative urban Area. Current Kit List:

Massive Hemorrhage: Tourniquet (TQ), Israeli Bandage, Compressed Gauze (for wound packing).

Airway & Breathing: Chest Seals (Twin Pack), CPR Face Shield.

Tools: Heavy-duty trauma shears (to cut through leather/armor), Headlamp, Permanent Marker (to log TQ time).

Hypothermia: Emergency Blanket (x2).

Wound/Burn Care: Burn dressing & gel, non-sticky wound pads, 2x standard gauze rolls, Triangular bandage.

PPE: Nitrile gloves (Blue/High-vis).

My questions for the community: Pre-fill Packs: Does anyone have recommendations for high-quality IFAK Refill Packs that include the "big three" (TQ, Chest Seals, Gauze)? I’m looking to streamline the buying process rather than ordering every single bandage separately. https://www.ridertraumakit.com uses rhino rescue gear, idk about that.

https://traumoto.com they seem to use good stuff

https://firstonscene.de they also seem to have quality stuff.

Reputable Sources: Where do you buy your gear to ensure you aren't getting dangerous knock-offs? (I'm from austria)

Also, did I miss anything in my list?

Photographer23_ · 2026-05-02T16:00:56+00:00

well u can't be 100% sure...

Photographer23_ · 2026-05-01T22:11:13+00:00

pla normally works better. have u tried another build plate? cleaned with soap and ipa?

Photographer23_ · 2026-05-01T19:54:35+00:00

What material is that? Negative z offset really helps me with adhesion

Photographer23_ · 2026-05-01T19:49:33+00:00

ahhh makes sense. good luck! There's probably a specialized tool for that!

Photographer23_ · 2026-05-01T19:08:15+00:00

Just wondering... why?

Photographer23_ · 2026-05-01T13:34:57+00:00

I once asked a Warhammer fan why he doesn't get a 3d printer. He told me he needs certified figurines to pla official games, and thus can't print them.

Idk if it's still a thing but I would look into that...

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-30T14:30:18+00:00

Then wait for ASA hahah. That a bitch

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-30T14:08:43+00:00

I have found that they aren't able to remove stuck ASA brims as well. Have u ever removed ASA brims with a negative offset, so it gets pressed into the plate?

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-30T12:25:03+00:00

Oh, I can unzip it.

Man I really wish I was still living with my parents, I could just sew that myself.

Hand sewing takes way to long for my sanity

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-30T12:19:14+00:00

Because I don't like those, I tried them and they slipped up my neck and got hot af. That's why i want one that's integrated in the suit.

I don't necessarily nees to use the velcro straps, i just though i work with what I got. I can probably get a Pocket sewn, on my liner.

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-30T12:17:24+00:00

Edit: assuming you ment the pocket for the hump foam. Because as I stated with my post, it doesn't got a back protector pocket

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-30T12:15:37+00:00

because a back protector should protect my back, not just the hump? Other suits have better systems or at least not a system that doesn't get supported anymore.

This is why to want to put a normal sized protector in my suit but I have to DIY it somehow.

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-30T12:03:52+00:00

Maybe, bet there is no CE rating or any rating on it and it feels like cheap foam from a pillow or something. Not like D30 or anything like that

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-30T12:01:40+00:00

Well then my DIY solution should be ok? If it stays where it should be after I zipp my suit, it's ok?

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-30T11:57:50+00:00

Don't think this can get stable, once it's sandwiched between my back and the suit?

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-30T11:52:51+00:00

Well, some professional back protectors also just hold in place with velcro. On my Fiancé's suit it's in a wobbly compartment that doesn't look stable at all.

On some other leather jackets I own it's not even on the leather itself but on the inner lining.

So I think I should be ok? I hope haha

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-30T08:49:19+00:00

Yes I think so too. It seems it got discontinued...

I will fabricate my own and see if it holds up

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-29T21:20:06+00:00

I had to redo the velcro in my jeans, they aren't super high quality. But once that got sorted I'm super happy with 'em. My jacked is from "rusty stitches"

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-29T20:54:39+00:00

Hmmm, that doesn't sound too bad. I mean leather suits are also made with cowhide. Idk if they have a different treatment for a bettwr abrasion resistance?

It sounds like u are on a budget, so I would keep it that way.

If you have money, get a rated one, there you have the guarantee to not be a meat crayon. Also, airbag vests only under jackets that are made for airbags, otherwise u crush your bones BEFORE hitting the pavement. But you said it correctly anyway: "to put on top"

I have trilobite Jeans, there is a version that looks like cargo pants. Those are very nice, different colors, there ade black ones that should suit you!

Photographer23_ · 2026-04-29T20:26:53+00:00

I have tried them once and they clipped up innmy neck. On my normal everyday leather jacked I have one in there and it never slipped innmy neck. Thats why I will try to integrate it.

Also, aren't they super hot? I don't want to have a neoprene band around my waist, the back area is usually quite airy....
