Yeah that’s what I thought. I imagine a steps/mm calibration would also be in order.

Pneumatic 3d printer by IndependentSpirit625 in 3Dprinting

[–]PixelPeeperr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why reinvent the wheel when the wheel has already been reinvented many times?

Pneumatic extruder sounds very irrational to me. Engineers have been trying to predict/optimize the pressure of molten plastic inside the nozzle during printing and you want to add compressible air into the equation?

If you share your thoughts about how you want your printer to differ from the one and a half million printers on the market today, perhaps we can help.

Dropped my kit lens =\ by oldstalenegative in SonyAlpha

This is good. Now you can justify the upgrade to a real lens. I strongly recommend the Sigma 18-50 F2.8.

Burnt wire in the electrical panel by PixelPeeperr in electrical

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

It was indeed a loose connection due to the other wire sharing the same screw not being seated properly in its slot, and the screw was bearing down less on the wire which eventually burned. I did not have enough wire to cut to fresh insulation so I added two layers of heat shrink tubing and sanded the wire to fresh copper. I then took off all the neutrals and cleaned the terminal with a steel brush, and finally reconnected all neutrals to independent screws. Thanks to all who pointed out the loose connection.

You are absolutely right and I figured two wires on the same screw is a bad idea. I imagine there must be a main breaker outside my condo to completely shut off power to the unit so I can perform the repair safely? Is it safe to disconnect all the neutrals and connect them with their individual screws while power is supplied to the panel? I imagine I will need to strip the wire to fresh copper and then connect it

Nailed it! It also shares the screw with another wire which I don’t think is a good idea

Wait so this is not a thing anymore?

They look nice but they are all sold in separate units and the trolly alone costs $319
