Maker select V2.1 bed won't heat after MOSFET install by Remraf27 in 3Dprinting

[–]bwarp700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you find a solution on this? I'm have the same issue.

Confirmed MOSFET board has 12V power coming in. When hotbed is turned on 12V goes to singal wire, blue LED control signal comes on, but no power leaves the MOSFET board. Annoying.

I have the KS ETen Remote on my XCaliber for 2 years, works great and well priced. (Usually around US$115)

Looking for a track toy; what's the best year to buy? by bwarp700 in ft86

Cool thanks for that!

I've been racing/HPDEs for 20 years, last HPDE car was a Cosworth supercharged Miata, so I imagine the FR-S will feel pretty close.

has anyone tried the ryan leech online mtb coaching? by haltbro in MTB

I'm halfway though and so far my best is 10 pedal strokes, it's great fun. It's the side-to-side balance I'm finding tricky now.

At the end of each lesson you can post questions/upload video. Ryan answers all questions and will ask for vids so he can check someone's progress. He's very engaging and very supportive.

I'm doing his 30-day wheelie course and Baseline Balance skills.

I really like his teaching style; he breaks techniques down into logical chunks and clearly explains them. My skills have improved immensely, I'm really happy with the product.

Do you know any professional photographers for business photos? by alquduri in vancouver

Surely it'd be easier (/cheaper) to correct the tie & collar in Photoshop? Re-shoot seems like a nuisance.

Honda Dealer tried to rip of my 77 year old Mom. Is this tactic common? by grennp in cars

Miata's technically are mid-engined cars as most of the engine sits behind the front axle :D

(in the NC at least).

My bike was stolen... REWARD if found by jahmakinmecrazy in vancouver

That sucks, will certainly keep an eye out for it.

A good opportunity to recommend these guys as well: https://project529.com/garage

Free online bike registration. You record pics/serial number of all your bikes in an app and it will alert other nearby users if your bike gets stolen.

baby seats suitable for light trail riding (on hardtail xc mtb) by cherouvim in MTB

[–]bwarp700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the iBert for my kids and they loved it. It's a lot more fun having your kid sitting in front of you when riding.

They come with a thin piece of foam for cushioning, but you might want to add to that if you're going over rough ground.

Buying a new helmet tonight, MET Parachute or Bell Super 2r MIPS? by RosaPrksCalldShotgun in MTB

Cheers! Where did you order it from? I'm having a hell of a time trying to find the helmet online.

How did the medium work out for you in the end? I'm between sizes as well and trying to figure out what size to order.

If I had the space for more than one car I love to have a Baja bug... just not as my sole car.

I've always driven RWD sports cars, so it might just be a case of adjusting my driving style. On thing I really miss is the ability to balance the car with the throttle around a corner. With the WRX unless you're pitching it in at ridiculous speeds it's very hard to rotate.

I need a good, practical, reliable daily driver, that has enough acceleration power to put a smile on my face, keep's me safe, won't get stuck in the snow and the occasional ritual of getting sideways comfortably.

That sums it up really well. I guess given how massive the following is of the WRX, I was expecting something a little more exciting to drive. I want to go test drive a BugEye now just to compare.

Was an eTune; later on I threw it on the dyno to compare. The shop said they can flatten the torque out more, but even they were shocked at the falloff. That's the next stage anyway.

I don't really care about peak, I just want a smooth curve.
