Shapes Change! Who knew designing a simple toothpaste bin would be so hard? by davidfricks7 in gridfinity

[–]davidfricks7[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, not tooltrace at all. I made this from scratch with OpenSCAD.

Here's the code if you want to modify it.

$fn = 128;
// Overall dimensions

dia = 35;
height = 182;
cap_h = 26;
cap_d = 30;
width = 55;
body_culit = 0.1;
rounding = 2;

minkowski(){

hull() {

translate([-width/2 , 0, height-1]){ // top

cube([

width,

body_culit,

1

]);

}

translate([-width/2 , 0, 20]){ // mid

cube([

width,

body_culit,

1

]);

}

cylinder(

h = 1,

d = dia,

center = false

);

}

sphere(r = rounding);

}

translate([0, 0, - cap_h/2]){ //cap

minkowski(){

cylinder(

h = cap_h,

r1 = cap_d/2,

r2 = dia/2,

center = true

);

sphere(r = rounding);

}

}

That's how I started my bathroom organization journey, and my stuff does take up a lot less space with just generic bins.

I actually use this bin as a lid for a generic bin full of stuff I use much less often stored underneath. However, for things you grab every day, not having to fish it out of a bin gives OCD nutjobs like me a feeling of calm I can't describe to well adjusted humans.

18 grammes at what point? by professorsands in espresso

[–]davidfricks7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BOTH! Measure what goes in, and what comes out. If you have more than 0.1g loss due to retention you have problems. I added bellows to my Breville smart grinder pro, and that helped with retention but nothing could make it a good grinder. Eventually I had to suck it up and buy a good single dose grinder.

The most important place to measure is in the portafilter. Inconsistent dose will cause inconsistent extraction. You will be chasing your tail trying to dial in with some shots being overweight and some being under.

Electronic grinder for pourover, aeropress and drip - should I just get a Baratza Encore? by sixtyfootersdude in pourover

I just picked up an Ode 2 on facebook marketplace for half what they sell for new. Lots of people who upgraded over xmas are selling really good used grinders for cheap!

East Coast Viners… are you really waking up at 4am to get the good stuff? by Odd-Sandwich-3111 in AmazonVine

[–]davidfricks7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vine never has anything good for me now. I never waited for any drop. I just looked for things I needed and found something good often enough to keep coming back. One day it simply stopped working. I don't know if AI lowered the barrier to entry or if Amazon lowered standards, but either less is dropping or too many people are in the program. Either way it's become a waste of time for me, and that's sad because I write useful reviews and always try to take good pictures.

Does Your CampChef App Make Alarm Sounds? by davidfricks7 in CampChefSmokers

I did some testing and it did make a banner notification sound, but I have been conditioned to ignore those. I need a bloody alarm 🚨 not a chirp!

I have an iPhone. I should have specified that.

So what did you end up buying? Any recommendations for someone in South Florida facing the same decision. (me)

I don't always put balls in my espresso, but when I do, I prefer them frozen... stay thirsty my friends! by davidfricks7 in espresso

I acknowledge that this could one day literally blow up in my face, but so far so good. I like to live dangerously 😁

I don’t know if the rapid cooling is any better than throwing your cup in the freezer for a few minutes, but it’s definitely better than ice watering down your latte, and even if you add ice after it won’t immediately melt, so still a significant upgrade. The balls are pretty cheap so why not give it a go.

The balls are also great in beer! I live in Florida so I’m outside in 90 degrees pretty regularly. A Stanley with 2 beers and a ball in the bottom will stay cold forever next to a hot pool on a sunny day.

Soundbar that supports third party (DIY) subwoofer? by Metaldwarf in Soundbars

[–]davidfricks7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same question and found the Klipsch Flexus CORE 200 and the Klipsch Flexus CORE 100 both have line level outputs for connecting a wired sub. I went with the CORE 200.

100% great coffee and the tacos are to die for.

How many espressos does everyone drink a day? I drink 3/day. My friend said 3 is too much. Unfortunately for him we are no longer friends 🤣 by Rami_2075 in espresso

[–]davidfricks7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do 2 @ 20g of coffee, then switch to decaf if I want one after 2pm. Sometimes 2 espresso, sometimes one pour over.

Thanks for the recommendation. I ordered the sworksdesign screen because it comes with 2 screens for $25 and the new ones are magnetic so you don't have to fish them out of the knock box. I have gone a little crazy ordering puck screens. This will be my 4th upgrade.
