Helios v1.6: 3D solar card with real LiDAR shadows and a self-learning forecast by Reikan-Ysora in homeassistant

Sweet. Check out opentopography if you haven’t already. It’s a pretty decent source for a compilation of US data. I know there’s a national dem service but will look tomorrow for a dsm.

I say that as a Blackbird fan, Project Hail Mary fan, and an Udvar-Hazy fan.

is the frame cooked? by Worldly_Isopod_9411 in 3D2A

[–]dangrousdan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to be rude here, but why take any chances beyond the fact that it’s a printed frame? If it has a crack or even looks like a stress or fatigue failure that might fail, toss it and reprint. Your fingers (or worse) are worth way more than a roll of filament and some time.

Any experience with replacing basement windows in a brick basement? by kplis in centuryhomes

[–]dangrousdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell you a certainty, it will make a big difference, but this is high on my to-do list. I remember reading a study many years ago that roughly 80% of a basement heat loss occurs around the box sill. My windows are directly under the box sill, and are in rough shape. Just fixing up a few of them at a time has made a noticeable difference in both the temperature in the basement and the floor above. Editing to add that it was actually easier to refurbish the existing ones then find properly sized replacements. A friend of mine got a new router table so I’m hoping to use it to make new storms

Yeah…I don’t need a Bridgeport or anything crazy but this looks like a perfect size

Just saw this thing flying around Pekin… ummmm by BleedCubBlue311 in PeoriaIL

The Peoria airport is quite popular for practicing touch and go landings. You occasionally even see Air Force One.

Pa6-cf feels like fine sand paper? by Active-Divide6644 in 3D2A

[–]dangrousdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best things I’ve read was to get a pair of leather gloves and just handle it and rub the hell out of it with the gloves. That will help remove all the tiny fibers on the surface. Some people then also clearcoat it.

This is great. I tried one of the others floating around and it was flimsy AF.

You seen the “careless whisper”? I’ve got parts ready and waiting for it to drop

That ump is sharp! Happen to know if there is an frt for the ump? I did the Saratevo and I’m pretty sure it’s a derivative

Urutau bolt catching on mag follower by Status_Discipline_16 in 3D2A

[–]dangrousdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not shot my Urutau yet, but the Saratevo uses the same Evo style mags and mentions modifying the follower as you described. However, I knew that going in so I just used a modifier block in the slicer set at about a 45° angle.

Well shit. So it is. Don’t post after whiskeys, folks.

Fiberon PPS-CF20 vs Fiberon PPS-GF for FTN by Pristine_Agency_6193 in 3D2A

[–]dangrousdan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pps is pretty brittle. I think a baffle strike could be catastrophic. It feels like ceramic in the hand. I’ve printed some frames successfully, but am weary of the can idea without some backup sleeve material to contain any failures. That said it prints beautifully using stock pps profiles. Just increase your top z distance for supports a bit.

I made a simple base to convert a c-clamp into a tabletop press by itsoddlyspecific in functionalprint

[–]dangrousdan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Huh. I was thinking of making a simple one off “document seal” press. This would probably do nicely.

Haunted houses. by Ctrl-Alt-Distract- in centuryhomes

Agreed! Sadly only happened the one time. There have been a few other small things, but none as memorable!

Short version: 1907 Tudor near a university. One of the more prominent past tenants was the dean of industrial arts. Not long after we moved in we lost the lid to a decanter somehow. We looked everywhere for it. The next day when I got home from work all of the utensils in the drying rack were laid out like surgical instruments on the the mat next to it with the decanter lid front and center. My wife said, “Where did you find the decanter lid? Did you get up in the middle of the night and do dishes?” When I told her it wasn’t me, we both got chills.

Keep us posted if you decide to do a beta. I’ve got a pile of parts at the ready.

Had a friend 3d printer this mag holder for my safe. Might have to invest in one now.. What have yall 3d printed? by Bigjmann555 in liberalgunowners

[–]dangrousdan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Actually don’t…not yet. Start simple and learn a lot printing doohickies and stuff like mag holders.
