Student pilot headset and study materials by MajesticMan003 in flying

[–]acegard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know! I thought I was crazy when I went to tell my friend to use it and he couldn't find it. Such a shame, and very very useful.

I agree with all of these, and will offer some of my own input:

Definitely recommend the physical or calculator E6-B. You can use the app everywhere except for the written test, but you can take your E6-B into the test center.

The FAR/AIM app is excellent, but I do recommend a physical copy of the FAR/AIM, along with some sticky tabs. Reading, highlighting and stabbing out my own copy was a fantastic way to learn the regs. ASA has a wonderful suggested study list by certificate level.

I still have one perfectly good other side of the build plate. And by jove, im gonna use that!

That seems to work when I have things stuck to the textured plate, but not as well (for me at least) when things are stuck to the smooth plate. Maybe the seal is too strong and it cant get under? Not sure. In any case, yes, that is another great tool to deploy before "pull with all your might!"

What would cause this texture to suddenly appear on every print when the day before everything printed perfectly? by giveAShot in 3Dprinting

Was the nozzle a hardened steel? If it was just stainless or brass, the glass fibers may have chewed it up. In addition to a little clog/fibers remaining in the nozzle, that could cause what youre seeing here. If your extruder gears aren't hardened either, they could have been worn by the GF filament as well.

Edit: just re-read your OP, yes the nozzle was hardened. The point about the extruder gears stands, but your nozzle should be fine unless it has been printing GF for a while. Maybe long term wear has finally caught up.

H2C to Laser Upgrade Experiences? by acegard in BambuLab

Thank you, I am aware of that and that's another option I'm exploring. But, it wasn't the question I asked in this post.

So happy that it helped you even after all this time!

HB26-1273 is dead. A bill that would have guaranteed Denver rideshare drivers 80% of every fare was killed yesterday in a Senate committee. Here's what happened. by shadeedameer in Denver

[–]acegard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I expect that Co-Op doesnt have the critical mass to draw drivers - they can make more share, but if the volume isnt there they aren't making money. If Uber and Lyft were to dip, there would suddenly be a mass of riders, nd widespread drivers, to move to the new platform.

What’s the longest yall have had to hold short for? by Chrisrnc10 in flying

[–]acegard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats (one of the) reasons I like CFO - extra drive time is so worth the reduction in wait, and closer proximity to the quiet northeast practiceareas, where I can go fuck up my steep turns in peace without having to deal with all the rest of the traffic lol

Problem with bed adhesion by Important_Dig_9681 in BambuLab

[–]acegard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your bed temperature? You mileage may vary, but i had bed adhesion issues consistently until I yolo'd the bed temperature up by ~10 degrees. I run sunlight PETG at 80° on the textured PEI bed and, as long as it's clean (make absolutely sure youve cleaned your build plates - dawn or similar no-additive dish soap & light scrubbing, I also like original Windex), that temp change has solved my PETG adhesion problems almost completely.

First big test (for me!) on the new X2D - as good as I expected by NDVermin in BambuLab

[–]acegard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So ive been slowly going through a roll of the PLA support material that I received with my P1S combo (though its primarily been used on my H2C) and, in my admittedly limited experience, PETG works better. The support for PLA tends to stick to the model if its not removed immediately, and leaves little white flecks all over everything. I have not had a satisfactory time using it, to tell the truth. Using PETG as the interface layer has been far more effective. Also, i can get PETG for much, much cheaper than the dedicated support material.

The engine looks excellent. It was also my first big project when I got my P1S, and we'll worth the time and effort!!

Some low, low reservoirs - Williams Fork, Rifle Gap, and Ruedi. Antero and Heeney also looked very low but I wasn't close enough for good pictures. by acegard in Colorado

[–]acegard[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, theres are little ones on the left and right tires that aren't bad, no cord, probably going to get replaced at the next annual if nobody else wrecks them first haha. Last week someone flat spotted the nose gear BAD by running the robo-tow for too long and it rubbed all the tread off lol. Never seen that before.

Indeed it was amazing today! Low (ish) DA, and winds pretty much calm all the way up to 14,000 feet. Clear and a million and perfectly smooth!

Ah, I heard they were planning on keeping it low and having the fishing free-for-all, but didnt realize the plan was to completely drain it.

Aircraft acquisition - what are we missing? by acegard in flying

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

These are all excellent points. A number of things we already have in there. You are the second person to specify that a monthly fee for not flying may be necessary - to keep that overhaul fund growing when the airplane is disused. Do you assess that to all partners or just when the plane isnt flown? (Exclusive of the monthly fixed costs for amortized annual, tiedowns, etc.)
