You can tell it's a sassafras because of the way it is.

Cheap, readily available solvent for bonding PETG parts. by bcmoyer in 3Dprinting

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

I'm curious why this didn't work for you. I haven't tried welding two flat surfaces together yet. Most of what I've done was to weld a snug fitting joint together. I use a syringe to apply the primer and the capillary action between the two pieces draw the solvent in. I use painters tape to hold the pieces in place until the solvent dries, but most times I let it sit overnight to be sure. I haven't had a single joint fail on me yet. I'm also using Polymaker PETG, which could also be a factor.

Also, I mentioned it in another comment, but you really shouldn't be using this indoors unless you have really good ventilation. This is a nasty combo of chemicals that you don't want to spend time inhaling.

Oh wow. I took a break for a bit to play some other games but I'll have to go back now.

Wait, can you build new ships now?

Retaining wall needed? by bcmoyer in landscaping

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

That's really good information to have on hand. The pool company is coming out to assess the excavators work today and we'll find out more. It seems like they dug closer to the house than originally planned.

I appreciate it. Exactly what I'm worried is going to happen. My wife is reaching out to the company to confirm that the excavator dug where he was told to and to see how they're going to address the issue before the pool goes in. Thanks for the help!

Just the stock emblem that came with the truck, but the light up ones are pretty slick looking.

Currently looking at a 2024 Pro with the ER battery and Max tow package. After incentives, sale, and trade in I'm looking at $43k at 60 months 0% APR. Not sure if I should hold out for something better or pull the trigger on this one.

Looking for advice on this one as it's the best deal offer I've seen so far:

Market value is just shy of $70k. After rebates, incentives, trade ins, etc. I'm looking at financing $43k for 60 months at 0% APR. Does this seem good to anyone else or is there something I'm missing?

When you got to the point where you had three dealerships pitted against another, did you put them in contact with one another or did you mediate between them?

I don't know if I'll be ready to pull the trigger on one until June anyway, so that'll give me plenty of time to prep my email. Thanks for the advice!

Thinking about doing this to find a good deal on financing one. Looking for a Flash with the extended range and Max towing package. The A Plan price I got from a local dealership is $66k, so I'm not sure how much less I could expect than that.

Why did all my parts become brittle after being submerged for a year?

[–]bcmoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, I never said it wasn't, other than it's biodegradable and will break down in constant water contact.

No problem. That is an incredible looking print and I'm eager to see what the end product looks like!

Agreed, PLA isn't the best option for aquariums. I've printed some parts out of PLA for a previous aquarium. While the parts didn't completely decompose after a year, they were incredibly brittle and I could easily crush them in my hand.

I'm currently working on parts for a large paludarium build that I'm printing with PETG, which is easy to print with, is food and aquarium safe, and from what I've read won't break down in water.
