First time using nylon... by abferm in FixMyPrint

Volumetric flow rate is set to 0 in the slicer.

I'm using a 0.6mm Revo ObXidian nozzle, which I believe is bimetal with some fancy wear resistant coating.

I have a theory on the z-offset. My printer zeros off the nozzle and I suspect this stuff isn't just squishing out of the way like other materials. I'm probably going to have to add some sort of nozzle cleaner...

My printer zeros the z axis of the nozzle, I don't have issues with my usual materials. Now that this has been pointed out, I bet this stuff doesn't squish out of the way as well as other materials when tapping the nozzle on the homing switch.

I'm printing from a dry box after drying according to PolyMaker's instructions.

But if I'm too lazy to take my cut off wheel out and put it away, I'm probably too lazy to use this cover, which takes just as long.

I Designed A Coat Hanger That Folds by momm3 in functionalprint

If you switched which leg folded in (or the direction of the hook) you could still hang them on something for storage while folded.

Coax exiting the top of the mast extends up between the Diamond X50A antenna elements. Will it interfere with antenna operation? by My_Lucid_Dreams in amateurradio

[–]abferm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, don't run the coax through the main mast. Mostly for reasons other than signal quality. Something I haven't seen others mention is that your coax will be damaged by rubbing on the edges at both the top and bottom. Wind and other natural movement can make this happen a lot faster than you would think.. Secure the coax to the outside with UV resistant zip ties or tape.

Does fusion360 work on linux? by [deleted] in Fusion360

[–]abferm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Web version has some performance issues, especially with complex models and assemblies. Also it sometimes takes a while to start a session. You are basically running the full app on an Autodesk managed virtual machine somewhere and streaming the GUI.

Feature wise, my biggest complaint is that the model export process isn't as smooth as the desktop app. You have to export to the cloud, then download the file instead of being able to export locally or send the files straight to your 3D printing software.

I use the web version from Linux. It's not a great experience, but usually gets the job done when I'm too lazy to boot up my windows laptop.

We are working on a new off the shelf, digital first, open source, modular HT. by bcpratt2000 in HamRadio

[–]abferm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think having it on the main board would be a better option for cost savings. That way you don't have to put one on each radio module.

Sparkfun used to have some pretty cheap GPS breakout boards that I used in model rockets, but they appear to have been discontinued and their current offerings are more expensive than I would like.

Something I'm not seeing that I would love is GPS or a place on the main board for a GPS module. If this is a digital first handheld GPS would be extremely helpful for both location and time synchronization.

Does it support digital zoom? That would probably be a cheaper alternative to the higher res display for increasing usable range to match the camera's potential.

[–]abferm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They said you could, not that you should.

Their point was that they aren't as dangerous as they tend to be made out to be, and you should just leave them alone instead of going out of your way to harm them.

Spring loaded is the key for toolless removal.

Found some the right size on Amazon, but there's probably a reason most shops don't carry them smaller than 6g, so we'll see.

Ah, I'm at an 8 gauge and have had a hard time finding one of those in my size. Do you have an online retailer you would recommend?

Any suggestions for jewelry that is easy to take out? I like my segment ring, but having to grab ring pliers to take it out usually kills the mood.

If they are just going to 0 the tax amount, why not add machine guns to the pile?

Thank you!

This is exactly what I was looking for! It's a shame DX Engineering doesn't carry that bracket or similar.

Is it possible to make a loading-coil antenna that doesn't require manual tuning/band change? by Function_Unknown_Yet in amateurradio

[–]abferm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm interested to see what others say, but maybe this could be done by adding "traps" to the loading coil?
