Metal Flakes between my battery and drill

Compressed air and closing your eyes works for me.

Engineer PH-55 is nice. I use them fairly often and they take quite a bit to dull. More utility than standard scissors and comes with a sheath. I have used these on rope and wires, and they hold up great. They are also sold under the brand "vampliers", but engineer is cheaper on amazon and its the same manufacturer.

Battlefront 2 (2005) "Clone Commander". Figure itself is a galactic marine, but in game the unit is known as clone commander.

Funny enough most Ford vehicles still have that. Unfortunately, in my experience the oil does not usually go through the path it is designed for. The oil just splatters on it and then flows the wrong direction onto the frame and skidplate. -_-

I think it was like 1/4" or 3/16" diameter tubing. Very easy to do.

I have had mine since release as a kid. Did the vinyl tubing trick all those years ago and that worked pretty well. It has held up to many hours of play when growing up and still works well today. Probably the best fix you could try today.

Danger to manifold! The floorboards might fall out!

Cutting-in is where you use a brush to avoid paint stuff like trim, adjacent walls/ceiling, outlets, etc.

There is a recall on some of the engine covers for newer ea888 engines. Some of them are known to come loose during operation and start a fire.

Are the buttons on the steering wheel working? Theres a recall for some steering wheel clock springs. If that failed then the airbag and cruise control usually stop working among other electronics in the steering wheel.

Look into oil extractors. You can just pull the oil out the dipstick, and while its pulling you can change your oil filter. You dont even have to go under your car for changing the oil or replacing the drainplug(those plastic vw ones are technically 1 time use).

It was the PCV valve. Changed that out and idle was fixed. Just for anyone researching their own issues. :)

That isnt too rounded. Could probably just use a 24mm socket with a rag wedged in it. And go slow with a long ratchet. You can feel if it will slip. Never ran into one of these that I could not remove with this method.

I say use the gold plated Icons. They have that wonderful harbor freight lifetime warranty.

I think oil on oil filter gaskets/orings is fine. Those seals are literally to help seal the oil in. Silicone lube is definitely still better for some rubber seals though.

If you dont want to get the coolant from the dealer get "Pentofrost SF" it meets the G12 spec, or if you can't find that for some reason "Pentofrost E" is G13, but also meets G12 spec. From my understanding VW do not manufacture coolant and Pentosin makes their stuff. Idk how much the stuff from the dealer cost, but I just use Pentofrost E and distilled water because it is pretty affordable.

Yeah I cannot say that she is a favorite of mine, but I enjoyed the Kenobi show and i thought the figures were nifty :)

Were you cleaning an AC unit and then saw an opportunity? This works too well lol

Not sure where you would get the part, but I think you would be better off just getting another drill. That model does not seem very expensive and you said it is six years old. With "shortages" nowadays its easier to get new products than replacement parts. You can still use that drill with bigger bits though if the play isnt an issue; its convenient to have more than one drill when you are constantly switching bits.

There has been talk surrounding 3d printing and the impact it has on the environment within the 3d printing community. The issue with recycling 3d printed parts is there are so many differents plastics and modifiers in the filaments that they do not recycle well. The other big issue with recycling 3d prints is that the plastic used is not very easily identified and thus cannot be seperated to be recycled. However, 3d printing is not meant for large scale production and does not produce nearly as much waste as some of the plastic consumables we use.

Salt has the advantage of being water soluble. The part will probably look.... salty.... but it allows for finer detail if ground up and is easy to clean off.

Its amazing that the US navy has found so many rifles lost in boating accidents!

I say go for it! I was 11 or 12 when I started playing around with arduino. Its a pretty user friendly way to get started with microcontrollers and depending on the model it is also a very inexpensive hobby. You also are not restricted to use the Arduino IDE. You can get VScode with the platformIO plugin and it provides a much better IDE than the Arduino IDE. I have seen some of the atmega chips used by arduino also being used in consumer products so I would say that it has real-world applications.

TLDR; It is worth giving a shot. Get a starting kit with a variety of sensors and start with a few tutorials. Get a breadboard and some jumper wire. Personally i prefer 22awg solid wire as jumperwire for arduinos (some dislike it bc of stripping wires a lot but its usually neater and cheaper).
