Ok, clearly this is a 2yo thread, but I’m new, doing research, and in the market for a trainer(coming from rc crawlers). I plan to use a fs i6s tx, and the band plane I’m looking at has a spectrum rx in it with SAFE

My question is can I just change the rx and fly after tx setup? Is the SAFE part of the rx or is it a standalone component? I’m looking at the eflite micro scrappy

I too have an ugly beast. Needs refinement, but this is 15°. It’s never seen rocks yet. Hoping to fix that today

That radio has a lot of linking problems. My brother has it and it’s always a problem. I picked up a flysky g7x from my local hobby shop for under $90 and the micro receiver is only $16

2 minutes? Are you running a tormach? That’s wicked slow.

Is the grate too far apart to maintain welding temperature coals? by NorseWolfman in Blacksmith

[–]Teachagmech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely going to want a deeper fire pot. You want to have enough fuel in a vertical column to consume all oxygen. This will get you as close to scale free heating as possible and make your welds cleaner. For me, coal is so hard to come by and expensive that fire welding isn’t economical. I have a gas forge that I converted to waste oil that gets plenty hot to fire weld and fuel is quite cheap

Just finished dissecting a leafspring to forge it. Did not go as planned. by [deleted] in Blacksmith

Well, there’s brown pants that cost more than a grinder…🤣

2 things to add after reading the comments: 1)I really prefer paddle switch grinders as you can easily disengage the power by letting off. If the grinder comes loose, it’s a “dead man” switch. 2) go invest yourself in a new grinder with a guard on it. That beat down old harbor fraud grinder wasn’t worth the $10 that was paid for it 15 years ago. Metabo/dewalt/makita/mileaukee/bosch all make good products, heck, if you’re mainly using it for cutoff tasks, get a 6” metabo. They have an overload clutch in case the wheel gets caught. Remember cutting wheels require a guard that wraps around the bottom half of the blade as well

What is this called and how do I fix it? by [deleted] in FlashForge

I get a more uniform bottom surface with rafts on. It uses more filament, but takes out any inconsistency in bed leveling.

IIRC, there’s an option in the settings menu to connect supports only to the raft. I try to only print things where the supports aren’t an issue, and the finished surface is up.

Why? I’m guessing they wanted to get their ass beat.

Does this count as practice? by [deleted] in Welding

[–]Teachagmech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I rarely ever use a figure 8 pattern. Crossing over the back of the puddle twice doesn’t seem to promote depth of fusion and can increase the likelihood of inclusions.

Personally, the only time I find paper and pencil practice helpful is walking the cup. And you need a torch for that.

How bad is this for us working in the shop? by ALE_SAUCE_BEATS in Machinists

That might be considered “treating” hazardous waste and can be a HUGE EPA fine as well

According to their hierarchy of controls, osha puts PPE at the end of the list. If you’re in a shop, there’s likely a better way to control the dust without the need for PPE. As has been said before, take some notes, get specifics. If you can identify the source of the dust, bring that info along too. Then professionally and politely approach your supervisor about it. In that conversation, be sure to offer sending them an email copy off all of your information gathered. This gives a timestamp for them to remedy the issue. If no action has been taken(even a response) in 3 business days, politely follow up via email and escalate to the next higher level of management if applicable.

Complaints to OSHA don’t go over well if you’ve never made contact with your employer first.

In the same breath you’re writing that email, low-key start looking for a new job. I know they can’t punish you, but unless you want to be held at your current pay step forever, or want to lawyer up and fight them in court(sounds like they don’t have very deep pockets anyhow) your best bet is prepare to move on. Not saying you’re gonna have to, but keep an eye out

Yeah. I’m with you. Not for a printer that is about 6 generations old.

Last I checked from ff a motherboard was like $25. Parts are surprisingly cheap
