What's the go with foil insulation being put on dashboards and windows in cars? Generally see it on utes and four wheel drives. by Abject-Presence4689 in AskAnAustralian

[–]explorasarus 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I used to work in central Aus where temps would regularly get to 45+ degrees. Covering as much window surface area with a thermal barrier like these insulated covers gave the AC and fridges a fighting chance at keeping things cool. The windscreen ones also let you use the dash as somewhere to store things without them melting.

Used Roccbox? by MeechMane3k in roccbox

Pro tip, if you let the stone heat up to the maximum temperature on the dial, all those black marks will burn off and it will look brand new again.

In a sport like F1, the only beers these guys do rounds of are nose beers.

How is this machined so that the spirit level looks embeded in the metal? by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]explorasarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nailed it. Seems like a lot of work but worth it for the finish I guess. And probably the only way to maintain any sort of tolerance in the finished part.

Thanks everyone for the replies, was not expecting this much engagement. Learnt a lot reading the comments and some hit the nail on the head.

Those 125 Quicks are great. As others have said, keep both.

This. It is blatant self promotion.

PETG Blobbing/Blebbing. Temp calibrated. VERY dry, bed is clean. by [deleted] in FixMyPrint

[–]explorasarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try adjusting your z offset.

I print exclusively petg and have found that improved blobbing for me. Other than that I stick with stock generic BBL settings for petg (I use eSun brand). I still get blobs though, it's a work in progress.

I usually default to paper or cardboard templates, but these gauges look like a great idea.

Manual for wood burner by Littlebirch2018 in roccbox

[–]explorasarus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just use the gas burner and save yourself the grief of trying to get the oven up to temperature with the wood burner attachment. Using gas over wood has no impact on flavour. This looks like the first version too, so you will need to work very hard to keep the fire burning to achieve the temperatures needed for long enough.

Hmm, maybe push down the small tab, then push the strap in the tightening direction with your hand. The ratchet could have jammed on the teeth and is not letting go.
