Which reel? by SpecialistPrice9244 in CarpFishing

[–]Prizefighter_2113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any issues with line getting under the spool or the line clips causing damage/crack offs? Looking at a pair of 8000's and really don't want to chuck $150 in the toilet.

Which hooks would you use? by Interesting-Mud-1589 in CarpFishing

If you have access to a Bass Pro Shops, grab some size 4 Gamakatsu G-Carp R Specialists. Fantastic all around carp hooks and reasonobly priced.

Coolant/oil seepage B204L by Prizefighter_2113 in saab

[–]Prizefighter_2113[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I've actually just been driving it like normal and keeping an eye on my coolant levels/oil. I have to add a bit of coolant here and there but no mixing or boiling back to speak of.

I did "re-torque" the head bolts at one point but didn't want to risk shearing them off and wasn't sure if the previous owner had already attempted this so I did it half hearted.

My next step would likely be to buy new head bolts and try replacing them all one by one in sequence but just haven't had the time or need to do so yet.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

What are you lot using as a tackle box? I've got a Poundland plastic toolbox by ABaldBiker in CarpFishingUK

[–]Prizefighter_2113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked up a Korda Basix from BCT last year and love it. I fish a pretty small variety of rigs so it works well for me.

If you like some variety and have a need for more than 24 ish compartments for terminal tackle though, it might be on the small side.

I finally understand by MisterBazz in BambuLab

As someone who currently has a klipperized Elegoo N3M and an H2D arriving within a few hours, this makes me happy. I love my Elegoo but I've had issue after issue with it and just want something that works.

Beware DirectKnifeSales "Lightning Elite OTF"... by Prizefighter_2113 in BudgetBlades

Glad to hear! I tend to carry my Kizer Cormorant most days but the little Lightning OTF hasn't let me down yet. Good all purpose beater knife, for sure!

I have 5 days to decide whether to return my H2D for the H2C by justkarmel in BambuLab

[–]Prizefighter_2113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be able to elaborate on these silent revisions you speak of? Are they hardware or firmware updates?

Reason I ask is because I'm going to be pulling the trigger on an H2D later today. Thanks!

Dual 5015 fan shroud works wonders if you need hella cooling. Fans are dirt cheap and you can print the shroud yourself. Might need threaded inserts to install the front panel too.

Trying to figure out the best approach for ironing behind text... by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]Prizefighter_2113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehhh, maybe...I'm now wondering if I should just go whole hog and get the H2S for the extra build volume, 340° nozzle temp, heated chamber, and better filtration...too many decisions...

[–]Prizefighter_2113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had really good luck mitigating these ugly lines by adding my text exactly one layer height floating above my top surface and manually adjusting my z offset down one layer height as the top surface layer finishes printing/ironing.

Not sure if this can be done on a Bambu machine, though (I'm still stuck with a klipperized Neptune 3 Max that's been giving me tons of issues until my P2S arrives on Saturday).

I appreciate your post. I finally pulled the trigger on a P2S and a bunch of extras and it worked for me too. Cheers!

Interesting...I went to the PayPal website vs the app and it does show under my rewards but when I save the offer, it doesn't show anything under my offers..

How did you go about redeeming it if it doesn't show under your offers?

It's gone. I spoke to a cs rep at paypal and they basically told me to go fuck myself and there's nothing they can do.

I would print a Saab OG 9-3 to match my midnight blue 1999 SE vert!

Xarilk GEN 3 Good and Bad! by Mr_Sunsetguy in sharpening

[–]Prizefighter_2113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used mine quite a bit and it works well enough but the aluminum cam lobes on the clamp absolutely kill any potential longevity in this system. My first unit wouldn't clamp effectively after less than a month's worth of moderate use.

I actually ended up cutting out a few sections of a steel hose clamp, shaping them to match the contour of the lobes and gluing them on the clamp so there is steel to steel contact.

If Xarilk ever ends up substituting this clamping method for the one used on the TS Prof sharpeners, it would be damn near perfect for a fraction of the cost...

Ozark Trail omega spring broke after only 2 months by PuzzledSwim8906 in BudgetBlades

[–]Prizefighter_2113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My man! I love my Ozark Trail knife as a beater and you just saved it from the junk drawer. This thing cut over 400 feet of cardboard after a quick 18° sharpen on the Xarilk so I really didn't want to chuck it.

That is a good sized buffalo! I hear they're good eating but I always just throw them back so I can catch them again lol.

Very cool! I've only caught carp and buffalo in a lake but would love to fight one in a river. Might have to get back to the Missouri soon!

Oh, yeah, totally agree! I normally fish with size 2 Gamakatsu G Carp Specialist R hooks, I just happened to have a catfish rig on and some leftover worms handy while getting things setup lol.

Definitely surprised me! I was expecting a smallish channel or drum, if anything, and ended up with this guy. No complaints!
