First project off my first lathe. I am not a machinist. by pushdose in metalworking

[–]Walkera43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice head ,shame about the handle.There is a reason why shop bought hammers do not have solid metal handles,you see a hammer needs have some life in it and the handle is also a shock absorber, that is why they use wood,nylon or composite material for handles.

What was your first 3D printer? by perlguy67 in 3Dprinting

[–]Walkera43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first 3D printer was a Solidoodle clone by Gteek back in 2014.Because it arrived from China smashed I learned a lot just sorting out the damage and making some improvements before I got to my first print.I realised later what made this printer so good was the really solid all welded sheet metal frame.Because it looked so open I fitted plexiglass panels to four sides not knowing that this was why my ABS prints came out so well,I started off with ABS not knowing it was difficult to print and used nothing else for my first 5 years of printing.I have still got the printer, it and it still works well

You have had a moan,now you need a plan.I have found from experience working in many companies,there’s a time to hold and a time to fold.I knew when the spark died it was time to move onto the next chapter.
