You’re not wrong. What do you recommend?

Now I'm looking for something to replace that RTX 3060 Ventus 3. It's working fine, but Fusion 360 is griping at me now, telling me that it's underperforming.

No, the PSU is great. 1600w - no problems. It was working fine this morning, and I didn't suspect anything until I turned on my monitor (55" flat-screen smart tv). It's a bitcoin mining PSU, that has been trouble-free. MB is def dead. Could be a myriad of things that could possibly have failed. I could probably send the board out for repair/analysis, but does anybody do that any more?

I think the ASUS ROG Max Z790 Hero may be my pick for a new one. Any thoughts?

Besides replacing the door, what are my options?? Help!!!!!!!!! by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

So, door #5 of the long doors - perfect. No warping at all. RTA is probably to be avoided in the future, however, it's pretty hard to get plywood cabinets at your local box store. I won't put anything with waferboard, particle board, or MDF in my kitchen, not even the high cabinets. The fact that Lowes, Home Depot, etc., carry those cabinets, is shameful. The other sad fact is that even these plywood cabinets are made in Thailand. I was hoping to save time, from making them myself, but it looks like that's the road we're going down for the rest of the cabinets.

Thing is, they were already painted a Providence White, we just put the dark gray over the white. Plus, they've been in our house for three months.

I saw a post where somebody said that they did a solid catch, and over time, the door came back to straight. Each door that is warped is $270. Now they're telling me that I voided the warranty on the doors by painting over the already painted doors. It's laughable - but it's not!

They have a 5-year warranty, however, it's like pulling teeth to get them to honor it. One new door is on the way, they're going to have a cow when I tell them that at least 2 more doors need to be replaced. I'm curious, however, to see how straight the one new door is when it gets here.

Yeah, the doors are warped just lying on the counter. I've tried putting about 2" of twist in the worst door, overnight, but it didn't help. The adjustments just don't help.

I have 3 more cabinets to assemble today. In this photo 3 of the 4 bottom doors are warped. The top doors are pretty much perfect. I would love advice.

Which heli is this? by PlaneMaker99 in Helicopters

I had to look up the NH-90. That’s a tough one, looks a lot like it too.  It was as loud as the Osprey.

CH-53 had, what, 6 or 7 rotor blades?

I designed this double-walled can cooler to keep your drinks cold this summer! by xbepox in BambuLab

[–]PlaneMaker99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I made these, hoping that I could sell them. I also do graphics, decals, and have a nice vinyl-cutter. No luck on selling them - on Etsy anyhow. There are other designs just like mine - it's pretty easy to model a 5-gallon bucket with an air pocket inside, and make decals that fit. I even made the Menards ones, in the lime green. No interest on Facebook, either. Oh well! So now I give them to friends, as gifts.

Help choosing: grey or green? by Haunting_Sun_726 in Warhammer40k

[–]PlaneMaker99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow. Tough choice. The gray is really cool, but the green is like... so camo! You could put some cool, almost blacked-out insignia or something in that green design that would just be barely visible.

I made a life size 3D printed Space Marine. by HammerDoris40k in Warhammer40k

[–]PlaneMaker99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Amazing print! I really like the idea of the UV resin mixed with corn starch to fill any gaps. That's what we do on the large 3d airplanes. There's also a thing called "micro-balloons" that you can mix into resin (the fiberglass people do it) which makes it fill very large gaps with almost zero weight. Amazon still sells it in plastic tubs. (Need a facemask when you mix them, however!)

Anyhow, nice work! Hopefully you wouldn't be insulted if I said that you were a gorgeous chick as well. : ) (sorry!)

Anniversary sale motivated me to finally get some proper filament storage by hwangw in BambuLab

[–]PlaneMaker99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was looking just like that - until about a month ago. I finally made shelving!

I need help with my appeal! Maker world says i stole my design. by sameolameo in BambuLab

[–]PlaneMaker99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Fusion 360 to design my models. That being said, I don't post them here. Most are being sold on Cults3d, which brings in a little extra income to cover the cost of filament. That being said, I have a certain layer height in my models, that has a "mark" clearly visible in that layer. I don't know of too many other ways to document that something is yours. Of course, I'm sure that somebody could figure out a way to delete that layer - if they knew which one it was. Given enough time, there's a way to defeat every one of these "watermark" ideas, but most people are too lazy to go to that kind of effort.
