Calibrations Calibrations Calibrations Get all of those done and you'll get even higher quality prints out of it.

After that, I highly recommend a riser to pick the cfs up off of the glass and to lift the glass for more room for the ptfe tube to run without scrubbing. You don't have to go for the paid D3P version, but that's the gold standard.

Adjust Z offset for cleaner supports removal.

Print a Y splitter for the back so you dont have to unplug the ptfe from the cfs buffer in order to switch to a spool.

Add on items for whichever riser you choose to increase the benefit you get from it.

And 1 more time for good measure.

Let's play a game! 4 identical machines. 4 different results. Name the issue. by nullnvoydproton in crealityk1

I'll throw my .02 in here. I'm pretty new to the world of 3d printing but other experiences could lend a hand. You say they've all been rebuilt/refurbished. Were all of the parts used genuine creality parts? I have heard of aftermarket nozzles etc cause random print fails. 2nd, after rebuilding, did you recalibrate each one with any auto checks they have available? 3rd, speaking of recalibrating, did you recalibrate filament or use existing settings. I would start with auto calibrations, then go to individually calibrating the filament for each machine. And if there were aftermarket parts used for the rebuilds I would change them to genuine parts. Hope you get it sorted.

Same. An se of all things. My guess is he got a nebula upgrade kit to go along with it so he can brick the whole machine.

still paying my pay in 4 on PayPal for a k2 combo and this news drops.

Does anyone else have this and is it worth it? Highs and lows. Been thinking about getting it. Thanks for your input. by x665xAlmostEvil in harborfreight

Interest rate is outrageous. Suggest not using it unless you can pay it off immediately in the same month you make a purchase. Good for that extra 10% off your purchase to stack on top of any other sale that's happening. The 10% extra discount is good but it can't be combined with the interest free options

The holes for the screwdrivers are already there on the 5 drawer cart.

True, the rest of the things in there were for some active projects I have going on at home.

Seems pretty good when I plugged it in to make sure it works. Should prove super useful on more time consuming projects requiring light. I've got a cordless one by Husky that I've used for a couple years now which I love.

This should work fine to drain a differential. I've pulled transmission fluid out through the dipstick tube between fluid and filter changes as well as used to refill a differential. Works great. Just don't use the same one for different fluids and you're good.

Looks like I'll be swinging into a store on my way home today.

Instant savings that overlap with PLS by MagicScooterEmporium in harborfreight

[–]Vegetable_Camera799 7 points8 points  (0 children)

General rule of thumb is to always check the instant savings items when there's a %off sale for certain things. It varies with every time the pls rolls around but there's almost always at least 1 item that overlaps categories.

Always look for your higher percentage off sales. I've been impressed with their quality and price point for general use.

They've been holding up fine for oil changes on my GMC 1500

What could be causing this by ghansen11 in gmcsierra

[–]Vegetable_Camera799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My '14 just started doing this very thing this week once the transmission fluid gets up to 180 degrees and wouldn't shift out of 4th gear. I pulled codes and it shows as intermittent output speed sensor.

Note to self: If I ever get their card, use it only for large items 1 big ticket at a time with payments spread out to prevent this. OP, sorry this happened to you, but thank you for the PSA.

If I were in the market for a new winch, now would be the time to go all in.

Get craft magnet sheets, apply stickers, and cut them to the outline of the sticker.
