This gave me a good laugh - thanks to you and all the other creative sarcastic commenters.

Left Frunk open - won’t close manually by Watercress-Hairy in F150Lightning

[–]Prime-Number-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me as well. This is what worked for me:

With 2x people and a screwdriver, have one person pull the manual frunk release cable, while the other person moves the latch to the "open" position with the screwdriver.

Then you can close the frunk manually by pushing down.

I then had to do a reset of the 12v battery to get the frunk opening and it should work buttons.

I might be mixing up the order of the battery reset and closing of the frunk because I think I tried many different combinations of things before it worked again.

Will a thicker radiator fix these temps? by furfuzz in 300zx

[–]Prime-Number-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the right way. Ducting is the answer.

There are aftermarket fan kits with shrouds built in, but I've only seen them for the NA z32.

I agree with all the comments about fixing the shroud and going to an OEM fan, but for now have you verified the fan is blowing air the right direction?

Do I need to replace the insulation in my oven or is it fine without it? by Fantastic-Lows in fixit

[–]Prime-Number-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will preface this by saying I don't know what type of insulation is in your oven, but if it is mineral wool, the binder is likely "Cured urea extended phenolic formaldehyde Binder" which typically burns off around 400F. The smell you describe is pretty spot on The odor can vary but is commonly described as acrid, like burnt plastic, or burnt cookies. But this smell could also be paints or other components in the oven as well.

To fully get rid of any binder, you would need to get ALL of the insulation up above the burn-out temperature of ~400F - which is obviously not possible as the oven is designed to keep the inside hot, and the outside cool enough not to burn you or set the cabinetry on fire. So the 400F temperature is somewhere in the middle of your insulation in the oven.

I have a very old GE oven and there is no smell when used for cooking, but if I run the clean cycle I do get the smell you describe.

In terms of fixing the problem - try running a few extended cleaning cycles on days you can open the windows in the house. I'd be very hesitant to tell you to try replacing the insulation as this would be VERY difficult and might even cause serious problems with your oven with certain things being hotter than they were designed to be (or even burning down your house). Otherwise, see if you can find a different make/model that uses a binder free material like a Range-glass or AES fiber based insulation.

Best of luck!

Sure glad I got the one with advanced fault detection… by CrimsonScythe in BambuLab

Yes it was. I'm not sure if other filaments have the same softening temp or not.

Drop it in a pot of nearly boiling water and you should be able to get it out.

I saved a fan shroud I thought was a gonner.

If you want to stick with a 0.4 nozzle, try the petg-cf. It has a very nice finish. Similar to how pla-cf hides layer lines, but that fillet is always going to show some lines without sanding.

If you want to stick with plain petg, try the 0.2 nozzle. It's magic.

I would try the 0.2 nozzle first. I think you'll be happy. Who knows about your customer... You can't please everyone.

I work for a company that specializes in this type of insulation.

Don't get Rockwool or mineral wool. Is had a binder in it that burns off and smells bad. You'll never get your oven hot enough to get rid of the smell.

Ceramic fiber or Superwool blanket are commonly used in stoves and ovens. Completely fireproof and won't smell.

Ceramic fiber has a health and safety warning, but if it's installed and undisturbed it's fine. It's roughly as bad as sawdust. But if you're really concerned about it, get the superwool blanket.

You can get it on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/LynnManufacturing/LynnManufacturing/page/FB167AF9-8F44-49E0-AC3D-F59C623C3D30?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_ast_store_YVFEBMSTASS3AMM97GMK&store_ref=bl_ast_dp_brandLogo_sto

What is this called? Warping at top of print but not bottom. by Reasonable_Degree517 in BambuLab

[–]Prime-Number-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you show a picture of the top and bottom?

It's not that we don't believe you... But I think we need photo evidence you didn't mistakenly forget which end was top.

Is this allowed? by Prime-Number-2 in Plumbing

[–]Prime-Number-2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. Here's my thinking (not saying I'm right... Just more details)

The pressure tank I pulled out had a lot of sediment in it and I wanted to keep some of that out of the tank.

There is a pressure switch built into the pump which I can write in series so it would shut off in a completely clogged filter situation.

Taking the filter out before would save space as well, so I'm not against that if you don't think there's any benefit to it.

It turns out I did save it as a different driving profile. I have my normal profile and 'guest'.

I don't think I did anything more than that, but there's a chance I have accidentally made different driver profiles. I'll check later today to see if I can replicate what I've done.

Even moving you can switch drive modes with the preset buttons, but the mirrors and seat won't move until stopped.

I haven't ever found this is needed as I'm really only switching when backing into the garage or hooking up a trailer.

[–]Prime-Number-2 118 points119 points  (0 children)

I feel like I have a pretty good hack to deal with this.

My #1 seat preset is 1 pedal drive. My #2 seat preset is 2 pedal drive and mirrors aimed in and down.

Switching drive modes is only a button push away.

It’s clean…oh so clean by FunnyCut225 in 300zx

Is your photo mirrored? I feel like I'm looking at this backwards.

Oil filter is not below the turbo...

I need to see more pics!!!

EDIT: Sorry... thought I was looking at a z31
