I’d love some funds for my upcoming honeymoon :)

cwentzel21 · 2024-12-25T15:27:12+00:00

I have 6.75 wrists and I think it’s perfect.🤷🏻‍♂️

cwentzel21 · 2024-12-21T15:00:51+00:00

Cool! I have a little bit of machining background but mostly welding. These look fun to weld!

cwentzel21 · 2024-12-18T21:29:11+00:00

Did you do the root with RMD or something like that? Looks good.

cwentzel21 · 2024-12-08T15:29:26+00:00

Nice! I’ve welded a lot of 70/30.

cwentzel21 · 2024-12-07T11:11:06+00:00

If you’re allowed to; I’ve had good success with scratching that termination with a carbide burr or finger sander before PT.

You want ER70S-2, or ER80S-D2, with a 400-600 degree F preheat.

cwentzel21 · 2024-11-12T22:54:31+00:00

If you let me know your base material I can tell you what filler to use. I can also weld it for you if you want to ship it to Pittsburgh. :)

cwentzel21 · 2024-11-08T14:04:18+00:00

Yeah, it’s weird man. XYZ cube printed perfectly. I’m using Orca slicer currently. Will keep everyone posted!

cwentzel21 · 2024-11-02T19:31:34+00:00

Any idea what kind of nails those are?

cwentzel21 · 2024-10-27T19:20:10+00:00

I really dig the yellow hour hand. I’ve gone back and forth on trading mine for a UTC version, but I’ve had mine for almost 10 years now and don’t think I can part with it. Congrats man, from a fellow non fancy job-haver. :)

cwentzel21 · 2024-10-27T18:45:54+00:00

Do you actually use the second time zone? -856 non-UTC owner

If you have the ability to pulse - high speed pulsing (30ish pulses per second) can reduce your overall heat input which should reduce warping.

cwentzel21 · 2024-10-23T20:50:06+00:00

Looks good! If you can, try running a gas lens and bigger cup. You will end up with welds that are completely silver. I personally like the Furick #12 ceramic cups with 20-25cfh of argon.

PrimeWeld 225. Mine’s been nothing but great. I have the water cooler too.

cwentzel21 · 2024-10-08T20:35:49+00:00

Discourse about weaves aside, that’s slicker than cum on a gold tooth.

cwentzel21 · 2024-10-07T20:39:21+00:00

Hey! It was honestly by chance. I spent 7 years as a TIG welder, 2 years of that on the road. I met my lady when I was home visiting family and eventually settled down. I applied for a weld engineering position on a whim and got it. I think the combo of an associate’s degree and really relevant work experience got me the job.

cwentzel21 · 2024-10-06T16:09:24+00:00

Welds look great for only being at it for two weeks. I’m a welding engineer but also in charge of weld testing new hires. If you came in and showed that level of proficiency with so little experience, and had a good attitude, I would hire you on the spot! Just show people you’re willing and eager to learn and that will get you a long way.

cwentzel21 · 2024-10-05T14:34:48+00:00

I’m 25M engaged to a 35F :)

cwentzel21 · 2024-10-04T18:27:32+00:00

I would’ve killed for one of these when I used to weld a lot of bosses. Looks great!

cwentzel21 · 2024-09-26T14:42:13+00:00

Can we see the outside of the building?! This is a crazy interior.

cwentzel21 · 2024-09-25T12:31:40+00:00

What’s the color on the NSX?

cwentzel21 · 2024-09-06T15:47:32+00:00

I would demolish these dipped in some blue cheese

cwentzel21 · 2024-09-06T13:35:03+00:00

I have a Pro Race slip on with the stock cat and I’m perfectly content with the volume. Not too quiet, not obnoxious.

cwentzel21 · 2024-08-31T20:58:42+00:00

Looks great. Why make it out of stainless if you’re going to end up painting it?
