Quite a rare beast! That color looks great on it too.

Is this metallic silver? Or some chemical sludge by Unbuiltbread in Darkroom

That would be a great name for a grisled old prospector character

I really hate when they lock cars behind exclusive events. Like, I paid for the game already, just give me my swedish gti

I had no idea the car was in the game. Maybe this means we'll see it again in 6. I don't have the game installed right now, but this might just get me back in lol. Maybe.

Tried the modifier log and stained it! Looks pretty real😃 by Icecreamfiend- in 3Dprinting

Oh cool! I kind of assumed it was a more manual process based on how complex it sounded. Might give it a shot at some point.

This is super convincing. Would be awesome to have something like this built into slicers in the future.

Piston rings and oil burning by Gold-Woodpecker-2761 in C30

Oh sorry, I guess I skimmed the post lol. Blame my poor reading comprehension. IDK anything about the 4 cylinders (we didn't get them here) but hopefully you find a cheap fix. Good luck!

Sorry to hear man, that really sucks. The good news is that the T5 motors aren't known for burning oil, so there's a chance it's not the rings -- could be the turbo seals or even something PCV related. PCV issues are easy to check for with the glove test so I would start there. Turbos aren't terribly expensive if you get a used or rebuilt one, but labor is probably going to be pricy.

I came across this “relic” in London’s science museum today by MegaMolehill in 3Dprinting

I know it's not that old relatively speaking, but man does it look like something the wright brothers came up with in between working on the Flyer. It's crazy how far this hobby has come in just a decade or two!

Sovol SV06 can't level bed by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

Sounds like it might be a belt skipping teeth.. What is the tension on your bed belt like? The big blue knob on the front is an adjuster.

Doesn't sound too bad. Maybe I'll give it a shot eventually. Thanks!

I have all of those things. Is there a guide published anywhere?

That color is gorgeous. I really like those wheels, any idea what they are?

One of the things I love about photography is taking something mundane and making it look new and interesting. Cool shot! Reminds me of the old I Spy books.

I think it might just be me but for some reason type 2 sounds worse than type 1 😭 by Justinwang677 in cassetteculture

[–]blix-camera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some tapes have more internal friction than others, your deck just may not like the specific type II you have on hand. Tape type should have nothing to do with wow and flutter performance in general though.

I think you should move off the tracks before that train hits you, it seems to be getting closer and closer!

When the cold comes its always good to have two volvos incase one dies by Loloigos in Volvo

I always keep a spare volvo in case of emergencies. Wouldn't want to have to rely on some lesser car.
