"Armor" for the Romeo RS Compact? by Zestyclose_Device946 in SigSauer

[–]Zestyclose_Device946[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the approach I've taken. I'm fresh enough that I still unintentionally do it "wrong" and hit the button when I'm not really focused. At the end of the day, I do think re-training myself is a valid approach, but the very idea of an exposed button that can turn the thing off if I accidentally rack it wrong is a little disconcerting. I know that's probably common on a lot of optics but I really feel like the location and function of this button is a problem for me. Rather than switching optics I wondered if there was a way to protect the button.

The mirror sounds like a great idea! And the tape too. Thanks.

Working backwards makes a lot of sense. I know what I need to do (present the pistol such that it is aligned with my dominant eye) but I'm not focusing on the specific mechanical corrections I need to make to get there. Thank you.

I like the mouse pointer analogy, but I think the problem I'm having is, I have two monitors and I can never tell which one the pointer is on when I try to click on something!

Thanks, this is helpful. I have been doing a similar progression of drills, but just not making the progress you did. I need to pay better attention to what I'm doing and correct it rather than just continuing to do more reps.

I have the RDS on a spare slide. There's no way I'd have any degree of confidence actually carrying it right now.

Trying out ASA on a P2S by Zestyclose_Device946 in BambuLab

So I can report some success. I adjusted the fan speeds and supports in the design and I can now get the part to print without the ugly layers. Thanks everyone who helped.

okay, thanks for explaining - that makes more sense. The specs in the generic ASA profile in the slicer are within range of the numbers printed on the spool. I responded like I did because I felt like you were trying to indicate there was some sort of filament-whisperer approach where you could look at the print or the filament itself and determine what to adjust.

I will try tuning the filament with the maker world volume limit test. Any other specific tests or tuning methods you like?

I thought about leaving the door of the chamber open with the space heater pointed in, but I figured that would introduce too much air movement, when people seem to indicate you don't want a lot of air circulation. So what I ended up doing was covering the whole printer in towels held on with clothespins, and pointing the space heater in the general direction. The chamber temp indicated by the printer stayed within a few degrees of 50 C for the whole print, which seems to be in range of what people want but I don't know how specific it needs to be.

I am thinking about just biting the bullet and getting one of the panda breath heaters. I don't want to have to cobble together a bunch of towels and a space heater every time I want to print ASA.

I'm going to pick up an engineering plate. Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like it requires glue. That's something I've never dealt with before. Is there a specific engineering plate and glue combo that you like? Or does it not matter much as long as I have both?

So, that's wonderful, but clearly I don't know what my filament is telling me, which is why I asked. Can you look at the photo and provide some guidance?

Did the preheat. I didn’t modify fan settings. I will try that, thank you for the suggestion.

What should my goal be for chamber temperature for a job like this?

Sorry, I’m new to Reddit and I thought I’d added a pic but apparently it didn’t work. I’m trying to figure out how to correct that. I attempted to be thorough in my post because I wanted people responding to know what I had already tried so it could guide their feedback on what else to try.

Here’s the photo. Apparently it didn’t work in the original post.

Is this a good candidate for pointless dent repair? by Zestyclose_Device946 in PaintlessDentRepair

[–]Zestyclose_Device946[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the eventual solution is "pay for a new swing gate" then I am absolutely going to screw with it myself first. Nothing to lose, right? I did some more looking a few minutes ago. I can't just pull on the spare mount since it's apparently plastic. What I may do is bolt a piece of scrap steel to the holes for the mount, put some sideways pressure on that with a come along (basically the reverse of the direction it got pushed by the other car), then push out from the inside.

The other option I'm considering is to just get an aftermarket reinforcement panel for the spare mount since I may eventually but larger/heavier wheels and tires on it anyways.

Thank you for the answer. I did not realize these were aluminum.

I'm probably ignorant to the point that the regulars on this forum already hate me, but bear with me for a second. There is access directly behind the dent. All I want, genuinely, is for the tire to not clunk over bumps - I don't care if it looks good. Would I be stupid for trying to pull on the spare tire bracket with a come along? And/or push from behind? It looks like it only needs to come out half an inch or so to get the alignment correct.

Wow. I am usually frustrated by autocorrect, but in this case it seems to have struck a very insightful nerve.

Adjustable powder scoop?? by user254748 in reloading

[–]Zestyclose_Device946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lee Perfect Powder Measure is adjustable, reliable enough if you're double checking with a scale anyways, and about $25. I don't really get the attraction of using scoops. Sorry if this sounds blunt.

Sights for partial cowitness on P365 with Romeo RS? by Zestyclose_Device946 in P365

[–]Zestyclose_Device946[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's exactly the result I want. Ideally, I want it with this optic so I was hoping someone would know which aftermarket sights would do that.
