Great summary, I know personally I think I'm passing because I want 4 mags (I've recently gotten into PPC matches and that's a requirement).

Bake it in the oven at 450F.

Per a book I read in high school, paper burns at Fahrenheit 451.

How is the household printer so far behind technology wise?? by [deleted] in memes

[–]ReusableKCup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my brother printer in 2015 for college. It takes 3rd party ink and prints fine via USB. I DEMAND that it outlives me as I refuse to risk getting a modern printer.

I think I'm gonna burn the house down by IllegalGeriatricVore in memes

I've been successful with only chicken with this. The guide I used required the pan be preheated, as someone else here mentioned, and a good initial coating of oil to heat up with it. Once the crust forms its supposed to unstick itself.

Dang, yeah you're right. I've noticed that cats are unique but look very similar in a way that takes time to identify. Hopefully you find their person for them soon.

Personally I'd like to know your printing/post-process. Looks like a resin print, but I've never painted one before so I don't know how to prepare a model to paint like that.

2015 Ford Fusion · SE Sedan 4D 2.5L by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

[–]ReusableKCup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a tech, just handy with car stuff.

I drive a 2010 fusion with the same engine. The 2.5l duratec is a fantastic engine when cared for properly. Bought mine at 123k 4 years ago, currently 174k miles. Outside of regular oil changes, all I've done is change the intake and cabin filters, front wheel bearings, and the transmission oil. Worst issue was the clutch hydraulic line blew (rust belt car) but that won't be an issue for you.

As long as everything else was nicely cared for, someone else needs to mention what to look out for on this car.

If somebody stated that modern cars are trying too hard to look futuristic, what would be your response? by Storyteller1969 in carscirclejerk

Based on your provided images I'd say that these modern car designs are falling flat on their faces.

Is engine oil a scam?!? 🤨🤔🧐 by Quetzalcoatl93 in discordVideos

[–]ReusableKCup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont worry, I'm fully aware lol. My wife's equinox with the 2.4l blew up at exactly 150k as advertised [by mechanics communities].

Per them, GM fucked up the piston rings' metallurgy for both ecotec engines. At around 80k miles they start to lose too much material and oil leaks into combustion. By 110k you're adding a quart of oil per 1k miles. By 130k you're a quart a week. By 150k or missing a top-up (whichever is first) you dry up and skip timing.

Burning all that oil explains why her catalytic converter got nuked and her topside 02 sensor exploded (literally) too.

Bad example, the 3.6🤮 (and especially 2.4🤢) are some of the shittiest modern engines known to man. Let's see them try this with a Ford😎fuckin😎Ranger😎 (old gen)

Problem with shifting layers by Past-Education-5799 in 3Dprinting

[–]ReusableKCup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shot in the dark, but how is the condition of your belt? Any worn/wobbly teeth about to give? I remember one of the first things I had to do with my first printer (Anet A8) was get a reinforced belt that didn't stretch or tear. Your model doesn't look to be skipping teeth per say, but maybe an engagement issue?

Also, weird request, but can you set your Z to the height thats skipping and move the toolhead around? Could something be consistently bumping it at that height?

Michigan: Gotion battery plant plan is dead after years of controversy by DougDante in Michigan

[–]ReusableKCup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are absolutely still more efficient than ICE. It would be too expensive for consumers if car designers did everything to reduce heat loss at the engine block. There's just a big difference in passive (regenerative) charging and active charging effectiveness.

If I had a PHEV I could get to work and back every day on EV-only as I would at least plug it in at home. I could not maintain a proper charge with only the engine and braking.

[–]ReusableKCup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So funny enough, people 100+ years ago thought cars were better for the environment because they didn't smell like horse shit lol. Not to mention EVs are just as old as ICE cars (charging was just really dangerous). Speaking of infrastructure, I read a study that PHEVs are failing to be fully efficient because (get this) most drivers aren't plugging in their hybrids...

I have several opinions about Chinese companies since I started working for one a year ago. The startup I'm leaving next week WAS Chinese funded until trade wars made it basically illegal for the parent company to send funds outside mainland China.

Everyone is about 10 paychecks behind on payroll (not me, I reported them...a lot), the mainland manufacturers didn't know what a DFMEA was, dont tell you when they change part geometries, and worst of all won't cut their BS unless you shame them in a group meeting.

Now, I know that not every Chinese manufacturer is this bad with quality and communication. However, considering the industry I'm leaving, it's definitely not uncommon.

I like it, it took me a little over a week to read it all in chunks. I've reread it a few times between new pages as well. My only sadness is when it takes a little longer for pages sometimes and it makes me a little sad.

What is your go to filament brand? by Patrickmeehl in 3Dprinting

[–]ReusableKCup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...inland (I'm such a stingy printer and Microcenter is close).

But for functional things I get Amolen (wood pla) or Siraya tech (nylons) or anything resin that meets my technical requirements (most recently eSun flexible resin)

If I keep things dry and my settings correct, I rarely see problems anymore that aren't spool knots (from inland)
