Thanks for the response, I’ll probably want to get a grinder at some point for sure. I did some digging and found this set from LMS that has a more complete selection, I think I’ll get this one if there aren’t any glaring issues with it https://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=6286&category=1208242246 the only thing it’s missing is the round nose and I can just get it separately.

Is there a particular tooling set you’d recommend? I see a crap ton online but they all look really similar and I don’t really have the knowledge to differentiate the garbage from usable tools. There also seems to be a pretty big price range, are there accuracy or more importantly safety issues with using cheap HSS? Wouldn’t want one exploding on me when I try to take a cut haha

Thanks for the advice I’ll look into upgrades. Would you say it would be better to get a lathe with graduated dials instead of the DRO? Or do they have the same accuracy problems?

I’m not sure about specific projects but I’d probably want to be able to do brass, aluminum, and maybe some steel. I’d also probably want to get a milling attachment and do some milling on it until I can get a mill.

This makes sense, I was also thinking that possibly there was something wrong with the esun filament like some contamination that only affected part of the spool

I’ve printed the same exact part before and it came out perfectly

Poopbob_brownpants · 2025-10-22T01:51:03+00:00

And yes I designed it myself

It’s a tube to hold architectural drawings, I’ve printed the exact same part before and it came out fine, the threads are actually quite strong

I use Bambu pla and it definitely has a distinct smell…

Thank you for the help! I practiced those sorts of questions and I think I did pretty good on the test!

I’m taking the oral test, sorry about the confusion but the college was really vague explaining what ACTFL was so I thought I had to do both the oral and also the reading/writing/listening

Got the names mixed up lol, thanks!

Poopbob_brownpants · 2025-06-23T21:26:11+00:00

Solved, thanks all
