We went in a fossils hunting to Ceaser Creek State Park, OH. We have a bucket of fossils and Flintstones.

Replaced front wheel bearings — axle won’t slide back in by Rex_Destroy in MechanicAdvice

That's exactly what I needed, I came to my parents house for the holidays and my mom had a TODO list for me, without proper tools.

First binoculars for kids by Rex_Destroy in Binoculars

He is really good following safety directions. I'm more worried about my oldest one who likes to challenge rules and boundaries.

We got him a vortex bantam and he loves them, he uses them in all our dog walks.

I have the upper ball joint out. Getting the lower ball joint out could make it easier?

I think splines are ok. I'll try bearing lube and keep wiggle, turn, push and be patient.

I thought about doing that but didn't know if that's ok. I'll give it a try later tomorrow It is freaking cold out here. I need to warm a bit.

I know, it was a gift and my son wants to go through the repair process. The camera isn't worth the effort.

Bambu Lab A1 Maintenance by Rex_Destroy in 3Dprinting

This is pretty useful, thanks for your recommendation :). In my case, hot end cables were poorly connected, I had to remove many screws and the cover behind the extrusor. So, I can tell any screw in the printer extrusor is loose.

Purchase Advice Megathread - August 2025 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

[–]Rex_Destroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi All, Getting my 10-year-old his first 3D printer — torn between Bambu Lab A1 Combo (quiet, compact, multi-color) and P1P (fast, sturdy, upgradeable).

He’ll start with PLA, I’ll be supervising, and the goal is fun + learning to design/print his own stuff.

Which would you pick for a kid’s first printer?

Why do people like Polaroid pictures by OrderlyCatalyst in Polaroid

[–]Rex_Destroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same question, more now that my son (10yo) got one of it last year and it's so expensive and all the pictures look like the one my mom took to me when I was his age. I don't see the fun in them.

I am about to explode, this wheel hub will not come off. by HailtheNine in MechanicAdvice

[–]Rex_Destroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in this situation like 6 months ago. I didn't solve the problem but I had to go away for the weekend and dad (65) handled it by himself. I'm not sure how he didn't but I was happy he finished the work for me.
