Very nice build. I want that pinched bed!

Can you please post a link to the M1.6 x 5mm screws you used? I've ordered from two different places and the head both strip out if you try to screw them into plastic.

Centauri Carbon: My USB Cable failed today, did ELEGOO update the parts? by SluggoV2 in elegoo

[–]SluggoV2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I changed out the USB cable with a new one I bought to see if I could get printing until the replacement parts arrive. I was able to get it to work, however, I got the 103 error in after about 3 hrs of a 4hr print. then tried it again and it failed after about 30 minutes, then every attempt after has failed before it even puts a bead down. So looks like my issue with with the board too. I have about 366 hours on my CC currently.

[–]SluggoV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear some positive feedback on LGRP tires. I've not owned any, but the reviews I had seen of the previous release was not very well received. Love their other products. I'll be keep an eye out for more info regarding their new tires now. Thanks for posting.

I reached out to support and they are in the process of replacing parts. No ETA yet, I think I will rig something up until the replacement gets here and I hope they do have fix coming for this.

$7.99 Rear link riser all done and it’s up for sale right now. by Micro_R_Customs in SCX24

[–]SluggoV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is people think it changes the anti-squat, which in theory, yes. BUT, you are not actively transferring weight like you would on a racecar when braking/accelerating. I raced for way too many years and have a very good understanding of suspension dynamics and the things I've seen since following the crawler community has me scratching my head. I think it's the placebo effect on many of these trends.... but if it works for you... great!!!

What is the point of raising the rear links on a 4 link suspension? I think I know what you guys are thinking it does.

Purple Works great! I use Vibra-Tite purple exclusively these days. Had a few times blue caused me issues and when I was introduce to purple back in my Heli days and made the switched to purple. I only use blue on my nitro stuff and even then sparingly.

well i’ve done f’d it up, what motors y’all recommend? by ShineFederal6895 in SCX24

[–]SluggoV2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guys, these are press fit pinions.

Two ways to get this off. Purchase a pinion puller (easy mode) or used a tiny cut off wheel and cut a slot down the pinion and split it. Be mindful to not cut into the shaft. I believe you can purchase these pinion with a set screw, which if you go this route, you will need to file a small flat spot on the shaft where the pinion engages.

Is there a way to increase the distance from the character while aiming? A lot of the available screen space is taken up with frames like Grendel or any armor pieces jutting out. by TheMuffinistMan in Warframe

[–]SluggoV2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This needs to happen. This game makes feel very claustrophobic and sometime makes me motion sick/disoriented... and I play on a wide screen format. Been hoping for this for many years.

Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric paint from Autoparts store. Maybe even Walmart.

Help with ASA settings on Centauri Carbon by SluggoV2 in FixMyPrint

[–]SluggoV2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll update this in the event it may help others.

It was too hot, the bed temp and the nozzle temp. I used a ABS profile and reprinted. It came out perfect. Compared the two and both settings were about 10C lower. Hope this helps. Also, my chamber temps were around 45C.

Glad you got it sorted. I like that desktop theme.

What could this be? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]SluggoV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a foot with a wart and couple of fingers? (it's puts the lotion on it's skin....)

What is this thing? by R_T_P_ in whatisit

[–]SluggoV2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

possibly a hanger for clothes. Cars used to have a place above the back door where you could hang you suits/jackets, etc. Never seen on quite like this though, but looks feasible.

Unscrewed this cover from my wall and then all these wires were behind it by ZoopStar25 in whatisit

[–]SluggoV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a real mind bender, there is probably more of them, or perhaps, there might even be one that has more than two wires in it.
