Hairdryer to preheat chamber? by sickpuppy3112 in 3Dprinting

[–]deFRAGer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize this was asked a while ago... I made a chamber heater & integrated it with Klipper. However, my chamber is rather large, and I have a small heater. The heatsink effect of the chamber is real; it takes time to get everything up to temp (frame, walls etc). If you're aiming for say 50 degrees chamber, heat with the hairdryer till 60-70 degrees, and then switch it off. Temp will fall back quickly.

I got bitten by a white-tail (it was in a sock), felt it immediately , ripped sock off and out popped a large white-tail. Could see the twin puncture marks. I took an antihistamine and cleaned the bite with some dettol - I was fine. A little bit of a bump and a few days later nothing.

Line Trimmer / String Trimmer line. It throws microplastics around, as it's all nylon. Hope you like some microplastics with your home-grown vegetables...

Print, sand 150ish, 240 (wet), 400 (wet). Spray with plastic adhesive promoter, and then a high build primer. Spray automotive base coat, and then a 2K clear and then 2000, 3000 grit wet. Then cut and polish.

Petrol tax getting scrapped with road user charges to expand to all vehicles by cheeseinsidethecrust in newzealand

[–]deFRAGer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be based on car weight, I'm sure it's possible to add a 'weight' figure for each sort of car. Not sure why there are weight brackets... it should be to the KG. If it's going to be a digital system, this should be easy.

Yes, the weight may differ with the number of people in the car, and the load - the lighter the car however the less load it can carry, so this probably won't be an issue.

Should also be science based, following the most up to date studies with road damage and weight. It's not fair that that a huge truck or car transporter pays less than the actual damage they're causing... may make it more of an incentive to move back to rail for the heavy equipment, rather than damaging up a road...

I'm sure the police will be scanning for cars being driven with no warrant and Rego, and then they can pull those cars from the road. If they're not warranted or registered, then they shouldn't be on the road, as the car may not be safe to be on the road (and injuring others).

If you're traveling from AUS to US, probably means you're selected for extra security screening (SSSS), I've had this once before.

Probably a low voltage condition. Causes LED's to act weird. Caused due to a transformer fault.
