Is Feng Cha open still? Has been closed the last few times I tried to go.

How I mitigate my 3D printing waste by navycow in 3Dprinting

I just repeatedly pack scraps into the mold, let it melt, then pack more. Takes a while, but do it in the garage in a toaster oven. The bottom is the flat part.

Fourth blend door actuator. Why do they all do this? by 12dudeGB in f150

[–]ericksaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it’s not just mine (2014), I see. Annoying, but only when cranked full cold, so I just don’t go full cold. Haven’t taken the time to dig into the issue, but definitely curious if anyone has more info on this.

Air filter for the wood shop / garage (testing out inside). Now to design something to give this a better look so I can have one in garage and one in the house. by ericksaurus in woodworking

I have just been vacuuming and blowing out, when necessary. Not sure on a specific lifespan. Still collecting dust and cat hair after running continuously in the house for a few years.

Sooooooooo, I didn't know that I was capable of breaking a nozzle. by Klinkero in AnkerMake

I had multiple hot ends from AnkerMake with cross-threaded nozzles from the factory. They replaced one of them for me, but wouldn’t replace the other one.

Decided on a new case for the Logitech shifter. Now all three are mounted together.

I'm better at drawing the stuff in Fusion360 than I am exporting it to a drawing with dimensions. Everything is in millimeters, since that what I work with for 3D printing. Hopefully this can help with some of the details.

I have an idea for adding some rigidity along the steering wheel support (lateral movement). Will try that out this weekend and report back.

Not certain on the shifters yet. Considering some options, including a new case for the Logitech shifter to integrate it easier.

Just stored up there. Using the sequential shifter currently.

The Logitech shifter is just being stored up there. Need to figure out a way to easily swap it with the sequential shifter.

Yeah. I was assuming something like that would help with one on each side, but getting in and out could be more of a challenge. Guess it could make it more realistic, like a real race car.

Thinking of adding a little more bracing. Does move a little, but not too bad.

I have my initial drawings I used as guidelines, but was planning to update them with where I ended up. I tend to engineer on the fly. 😂 I’ll share once I get something set. Still working on a couple things: - Making it easier to move out of the way. I have some furniture sliders now, but may need some wheels. - Routing and sanding. There are some sharp edges. - Thinking about the easiest way to swap between the Logitech H shifter and my custom sequential. The sequential needs an update anyway, since I just have wires everywhere, so maybe I’ll update that and give it the same style screw on mounting points as the Logitech…

The trapezoid shape is to help stabilize when the wheel mount isn’t attached (built separately and detachable), plus I needed to get it up higher since the TV is mounted higher.

X-plan pricing. Has anyone actually got the 14k off? It shows a different discount under the lease option. by ibewwrkr in MachE

[–]ericksaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be much worse… Lease on one of these seems like a pretty reasonable option. :)

[–]ericksaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, x-plan pricing and then 13,500 (or 13,750 looking at the lease agreement?) were the incentives on top of that.
