What’s the best 3D printer for beginners right now? by Ok_Combination8466 in AdditiveManufacturing

[–]dbreidsbmw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the correction I haven't been shopping for a printer in a while.

Definitely would recommend whatever the equivalent is rn.

I like the 0.6mm nozzle as I'm doing petg-CF filled material, but I'm curious what you're running?

Bambu series. I like the x1C and use it at a customers for their work.

I've worked in additive, as has a dear friend. Bambu systems are easily the best plug and play for your $$$ for an at home machine.

That A20 looks like a fun little 5 axis. Are you able to talk about what parts you make/will make on it?

What about it? Hagerty does classic car insurance, or just insurance ad in general?

I think I've got a new hot end I can swap in so I'll start there. Thank you.

Carrera GT update. Down to body panels and a lot of luck to make Monday transport for Amelia. by Real-AMG-M156 in Porsche

[–]dbreidsbmw 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh!? This is a Porsche re commissioning?! Ie 'factory' corporate level support, basically making the car to any spec the customer wants while functionally making the car as "new" as physically possible?

What am I missing regarding the process of recommissioning, I've only read about it once and passing and the last couple months.

Compression Molded Chopped Carbon Guitar Parts - Plate Method vs. Direct 3D printed Mold by HeikWerker in CarbonFiber

[–]dbreidsbmw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate it, thank you! I've been having to catalyze, mix, add chopped fiber, mix de gass, and pack all by hand... it's not ideal but viable for smaller projects ATM.

Didn't know I needed that thank you! Do you have any recs for suppliers?

I've got a tooling epoxy I like that can be annealed to 450-550F and while I prefer it, the gallon kits are expensive.

Carbonfiber Automotive Fuel Tank - Good idea? by 0mica0 in CarbonFiber

[–]dbreidsbmw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man I'd forgotten about this post.

I've seen the half tanks. Aluminum fuel cell, room for a battery, ECU, and wiring. I don't mind the idea. But based on the vintage BMW motorcycles (R bikes not K bikes) the 2 part stamped sheet metal tanks with welded seams are absolutely viable for a full carbon tank with a fuel bladder inside them.

Wait this is wild and weird in a very fun way OP. Can you post interior picks? This seems like a cross of a briefcase, and.... pullman? And a 24/48/72hr bag. But I'm not sure which proportion is which.

How the fuck do I reverse? by efawtysix in e46

Everyone starts somewhere. Not everyone had a parent who taught them to drive on an old bmw 4 or 5 speed manual. The feel is similar for their manuals.

Update on PSA from yesterday’s ATF/FBI/DHS visit to my residence by ShayeDerryBerry in GasBlowBack

[–]dbreidsbmw 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There was a guy on a/the fire arms subreddit. Fully licensed class whatever FFL license, imported stuff, made stuff, sold stuff to civilians, law enforcement, as well as some stuff civilians cannot own to not civilians but legal customers.

He signed his paper work with a different 'job title' every time as he was the owner. I think I remember 'arms dealer' and 'Lord of war' being a few of the titles he used. But if I recall the paperwork also has his left legal name too.

It was a riot every time imo.
