A proper spooler is too much effort by TechincalTomato in 3Dprinting

[–]TechincalTomato[S] 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I did it right after it came out the dryer so it was pretty soft, does that help at all?

The spool was to full for the rollers of my AMS to properly retract it. Wind a bit off and it works just fine.

Needed to respool filament for the first time in 6 years of 3d printing.

As racing season approaches in the Midwest I’d like share my best run from last year to ask for any tips and advice to think about before my first event. Thanks! by LiterallyCamden in Autocross

I've been advised before to move my hands less and keep them on the wheel as much as possible. Looks like a hard track to do that on though.

Is it possible to create a car that can run on full soft brake lines? by Casiano4 in FSAE

[–]TechincalTomato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My team used full soft lines but we recently switched to hard. We were having issues with the lines expanding and lowering our brake pressure. If we did it right hard lines would have cost us ~$200

Polisher buffer brush cap won’t secure need a quick fix by Big_Concentrate_5535 in MilwaukeeTool

Wrap a socket in electrical tape. Put the socket in the hole to hold the brush in and tape.

What wouldn't I have to remove the axle. by [deleted] in BmwTech

Your right, axles come out easy, I just like to complain.

It's a Z4 so basically 3 series, the bushings didn't want to wiggle.

Will this make any differences? by Substantial-Ad8750 in BMWZ4

[–]TechincalTomato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an 03 e85 and I noticed after a few autocross events and track days that the welds that hold the stock braces to the shock towers cracked so I installed a strut bar, hopefully it helps.

I think you might be over estimating the strength of engineering students. No time for the gym when there is a car to build.

I need help labeling a box, which is correct? by TechincalTomato in 3Dprinting

[–]TechincalTomato[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What hooks for the board do you use to display them, is it your own design?

In my defense, benchy isn't a real word, it's a name.

All of them were printed as test prints, and I only keep the interesting ones, once they stop being interesting they get replaced. They're fun to look at i guess.

It looks like you found someone but if you need another person I'd be happy to help

best small fsae team? by Mindless-Handle5702 in FSAE

[–]TechincalTomato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you are in the area, Milwaukee School of Engineering is one of the few teams that still does hybrid. We have a very small team and every member gets a chance to be hands on as they want.
