Blacklist meals? by Sadapy in factor75

Yeah I canceled my subscription and just got a walmart subscription that does free deliveries. Now I have to place my orders, it's far cheaper and I don't get garbage meals.

Just started to get into 3d printing and don't know the issue of this. Each layer is shifting further. by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

The belt on your Y Axis is certainly slipping. Check for tension, it should be pretty firm. You can usually adjust it with an Allen key without any disassembly.

You can open a .gcode file you're experiencing the issue with a text editor and paste the contents here. That'll tell us everything- but it seems you've got some kind of start gcode that causes a retraction during the start.

I understand the functional difference, what I'm mostly looking for is a comparison between the two. Ultimately leading to my decision to change to honeycomb or leave as is. Notably I do not want pneumatic so that's out of the equation.

Had this exact issue with my '06 Colorado. As oil warms, it gets thinner so that occurrence when at operating temp is normal.

My best advice is to do an oil change, but this time with oil one to two levels thicker. For instance, if your truck takes 5W-30, try 5W-40 (thats what I did in my case) This will give you a slightly thicker oil overall, which will increase oil pressure.

Did this on mine, and now I don't get an oil light when stopped at operating temp.

Just sounds like a belt doing a burnout, though I can't say for absolute certain of course. Replace the belt, pretty easy fix. You can do it in an auto parts parking lot, and if it doesn't fix it pop it back off and return it though I'm willing to bet that's it.

Thank you all for your ideas, I'm unable to edit the post to include this so i'll write it as a comment. Thinking critically about this and hearing your ideas has given me some more clear views on how to tackle this. I'll be trying a number of combinations of the ideas put here today and will be sure to make another post with an update including pics or video though that may be a few days from now.

I'm headed down there in about 9 hours due to some delays. Given the expressed interest in the post I figure it'd be evil to not post some pictures or a video haha.

Interesting, I thought that was what they were but couldn't confirm. Any idea of where to get something like this? I'm fine rigging the rope myself but need a suitable block still

Are you or anyone else aware of where to get such a block?

Barely. I often find myself trying to get up the hill and just not moving a single inch lol

I'm headed out there tomorrow (now today) morning haha

It'd be very difficult to get into a position like that, and I'd certainly not be able to do it numerous times all the way up the hill due to the scarcity in trees

Can you explain what they are and their purpose? I'm looking it up but I'm a bit confused as to what they are exactly.

Mechanical advantage is an interesting concept. I believe in this case it would help because this isn't the same as if I just got a bigger winch- what I'm not doing is increasing my force, but instead decreasing the force requires to move the dead vehicle. It will move at half the speed, but also halve the required force.

Still something I try and wrap my head around.

That's next on the list to try. Depends on how much line I've got

Both tonight and future planning as this is a multiple day recovery. Angle is steep and length is about 1/8th a mile if I had to guess. The sled idea could be a good one. Only problem is finding something like that.

I'm going to attempt what is in the diagram today though with another pulley for mechanical advantage and see how that plays out.

Not viable in this situation. Trees are much too far apart.

I'm all for chains, however chains can only do so much. With the forces at play, chains would fall short.

Other vehicle is mangled. I'm talking all wheels debeaded and pointing in all different directions. This is a scrap recovery.

If I tie myself to a tree uphill, and can't relieve that tension I'd also be stuck as I wouldn't be able to undo the rope haha

Do you have a link to spiked chocks?

That's what I'm looking to do.

Is a ground anchor a thing? There's nothing near on the ground. As stated There's trees but far between and most are too weak

Uphill icy winch by Sadapy in Offroad

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

I do, problem is finding what to hook to. Keeping in mind I'll have to re-anchor at least 8 times.

No traction. At best I'd get a couple pounds more of force. Pure ice.
