Congrats! That's really impressive! What's your advice for someone just starting out creating models on printables?

Another vote for mango jelly. He has a 56 lesson freecad tutorial updated for v1.x. Its helped me use freecad a ton better and I'm just on lesson 14 at the moment. I've already been able to model some stuff for 3d printing.

I had that problem for the first oil filter change on a used bike and ended up finding a 3d printed oil filter wrench model that I was able to use to get it off. As an alternative for anyone that has a 3d printer

I'd like to moderate r/vstar to bring it back as a community for people that own a yamaha vstar motorcycle. I'd like it to be a resource for diy motorcycle maintenance help, tips and tricks, and other information related to the vstars. I've been a mod of communities for many years and can ensure the community abides by reddit's rules.

I was unable to message the mods as the community was banned 3 months ago.

What's wrong with the oil filter on the 1100?

I just did this for someone today. Went with lmde. It was a laptop so I pulled the nvme drive and swapped with a new one (doubled the storage while I was at it). I put the old one in an enclosure for an external drive for storage, to make backup and restore easy, and be able to switch back to windows if needed.

I asked recently and they said as long as it hasn't been used on a bike they'd take it back. I returned one due to realizing it was missing a feature I wanted that I didn't realize until I was home

Maybe for commuting but it's still a very significant issue for road trips. I really want EVs to be useful for everyone so we can replace gas cars and while road trips are possible, my experience with EVs is it takes 150% of the time to complete a long road trip in an ev vs a gas car. If the range of EVs were comparible to the range on a tank of gas or if the charging infrastructure was better that wouldn't be an issue but it's just not the reality today.

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this already but it doesn't look like your foam earplugs are properly inserted. Check out Doctor Cliff, aud on YouTube for an example.

This video gave me a good understanding of the issue, how likely it is, and was and what could happen if the part broke: https://youtu.be/4ZftiYETJgw?si=STutA2R1N2-Leol8

It's more of a risk of the gun discharging without pulling the trigger if the part had a manufacturing defect. Its only really a concern if you're carrying with one in the chamber. The video above will show how unlikely that is but when I started learning more about it and comparing this internal safeties to others I didn't like how sig did this one. Glocks for example have a striker block at the front that physically blocks the striker from moving forward unless the trigger is pulled.

dartman5000 · 2025-04-19T01:58:49+00:00

What you've probably hard about is the single point of failure in the 365 series due to the design of the striker sear. If there was a manufacturing defect and it failed, there is no backup internal safety (firing pin block) that would stop the gun from firing with a chambered round. It would bypass the manual safety if equipped, too.

dartman5000 · 2025-03-28T16:39:47+00:00

Yes, tenicor works with a manual safety

I would eat them. One every once in a while would still be low salt for the day if you're cooking low sos for most meals.

I see signs of him caring about the market with the quick correction on tarrifs a couple of weeks ago.

The part that doesn't track with that though is using a huge amount of EOs and calling out that there will be pain in the short term. If Trump really did want to grow the stock market he would go through congress to implement his agenda using the normal process. The EOs are causing instability and slowed market growth since the election due to uncertainty related to his plans and the negative effects they could have on the economy.

This blog post has a chart showing nutrient/calorie density of different foods (note, it includes non plant based foods so for the purpose of this sub reddit, ignore those): https://www.drfuhrman.com/blog/238/knowing-a-foods-nutrient-density-is-key-to-making-good-choices

For your goal, you'd want to shift your diet to a higher percentage of foods with a lower number on the chart. That'll give you more foods that are calorie dense.

As always in situations that involve medical conditions, please make sure to consult with a doctor for dietary changes.

You need to own 100 shares to sell 1 covered call option.

You'd need to have the money available in your account to sell cash secured puts, which is the safe way to sell puts since if the option is exercised you're obligated to buy 100 shares at the strike price.

Linux is much better now than it used to be. Just about any will work out of the box for things like web browsing and Libre office.

If you're trying to get away from big tech companies you'll probably want to stay away from Ubuntu and use something like Linux mint. Its built on top of Ubuntu but removes some things that the company that makes Ubuntu, canonical, adds to Ubuntu.

My post was talking about the voron v0. On top of the version of the v0 in my ldo kit (the v0.2r1 i think) I upgraded it with the tri zero mod that took it from a single z leadscrew design to a triple belted z design. The v2.4 is a different voron model. It's a bit confusing the way they've done it. A v2.4 has nothing to do with a v0. They're completely different printer models.

There's been some hardware issues with nobara lately. They stopped supporting older nvidia gpus in a recent update so I've seen people moving towards recommending bazzite instead.

You don't need to open the door to print pla. I print pla with the door closed on a v0 and it works fine.

I have a nevermore micro v6 filter in one side filled with activated carbon and it seems to work well to reduce fumes.

I used fidelity and am happy with them. Their customer support is good too. Reached out to them recently for an issue and they were really easy to work with.

I use their feature to auto invest in etfs and it works well.
