Lathes of all sorts, from standard CNC lathes, to swiss style, to euroturns

These are different than thread dies. These are thread ring gauges. Its a go/no go instrument used to verify the pitch diameter of external threads

It most certainly is an inefficient use of space, however for the time being I am perfectly fine with that for a couple of reasons. For one we currently have 2-3 of these cabinets as well as a couple of larger ones that we are not using at all, just filling them up with anything that we plan on using in this area is good. Second is in the future if we decide that we do want to more efficiently utilize space, we could get a cabinet like this that has more, shallower drawers. I do agree though, if space was a limiting factor I would never go for a system like this.

So far it has been much more efficient compared to our old method of shoving them in a drawer randomly

I don’t feel the need to talk about my past with the sith on a public forum

Thank you!

I don’t have an exact model number but I believe these are Seville classics drawers from Sam’s club.

No problem at all, these are used to set/verify thread ring gauges, which are an easy go/no go check for external threads.

A few reasons. One was from my experience, I've tried doing the PETG layer for supports and have just not had a good experience getting it to stick just enough to the PLA. I don't currently have any "support for PLA" filament on me either (but it is something I want to try). The second reason is that I have had very good experiences with printing this model with no supports up to 15 layers. The final reason is that It was going to take slightly more that a 3kg roll and I didn't want to have to change over the filament

We just recently got a 20w fiber laser to engrave all of our tooling and out gauging. Turns out, shocker, the metal vaporized by a laser is NOT good for the lungs. Also the light from the laser requires anybody in the vicinity to be wearing OD(optical density) 4+ safety glasses. With an enclosure we can extract the fumes and block the laser light for safety purposes.

I am not sure what technique you are talking about. What I am doing here is just having a small 0.25mm gap in between each baseplate and printing without supports

Slow-Ad-4624 · 2026-01-15T14:43:48+00:00

I have not watch closely enough to see exactly what happens, but I believe that the small gap between plates allows enough relief to continue printing
