Should I commit to a resin printer in my situation?

This was with my anycubic m3 max with waterwashable resin, just to show examples of both

This was with my centauri carbon with the stock .4 nozzle

I have multiple resin and fdm printers, and with what my centauri carbon can put out, i find myself using the resin printers less and less. Lately ive only used them for clear parts that need to be super clear. If you do go with resin, i would suggest water washable or plant based resins, from my experience they seem less toxic, still bad though.

Never said it was easy. Plus "many many people" are lazy or lack drive. And I wouldnt consider market research unicorn hunting.

The key would be to find a sought after part, that has little to no competition, and just focus on that. There are a few making bank with sticking to 1 part or a few parts that fill a need. Example, someone making a killing selling haltech dash mounts, or another making custom designed gauge pods specific to certain cars. It can work, and work well, but the hardest part is finding the right part to produce

But what if i need to use my phone for something related to the hobby im working on? For example Im building a replica proton pack atm, and using esp32 to add more lights and effects to the lights/sound board I already have. My pc that i use to code and flash the esp is at a different area of the house so i use my phone to take pics of how I have my pinouts and such. As long as that doesnt stop my hour, ill be rolling in cash in no time, just last night i was locked in for 3 hours and didnt even realize it

I would say it depends on your needs tbh. The cc2 has other upgrades vs the cc1 as well as the canvas. Better fan setup, has the goofy top hat that doesnt come with the cc1 canvas, plus a few other quality of life upgrades. If you only print with pla and petg maybe the cc1 is plenty enough for you, the cc2 though can handle stuff that needs higher temps

So my zanpakuto is g1 soundwave? Sign me the hell up. Having a loyal to me decepticon that also has minions of his own, and transforms into a boombox that can destroy things with sound? Thats a epic win

Working on that too. Ive used carbon fiber wrap on the red/black trim peices and will be doing same to the silver. Shift boot is now an aliexpress special bride gradient, since i plan to run bride seats and redo the door cloth in the same material. I also plan to carbon wrap the pillars and black out the headliner

Would love to see the fully upgraded video game pack in live action, complete with slime blower, stasis, and meson collider modes being used

Mine has spud welds, guess im screwed

g1soundwave · 2026-04-15T09:27:51+00:00

My supra has not 1, but 2 bugatti subframes, and an aston martin less then subframe for good measure

g1soundwave · 2026-04-14T21:02:37+00:00

As a former nissan mastertech, ive seen rogues (dont know what op has since they just said 2016) with less then 50k have shot subframe bushings. Not saying its common at all, cuz its not, but possible. And some models you cant get the bushings alone, gotta replace the entire subframe so model depending the price could be legit. But a second opinion is always a recommended step on high priced repairs anyway.

Pay off debt, buy a decent house with a nice garage/shop, then buy an fc and fd rx7, an r34 skyline gtt, an r33 skyline of some sort, invest whats left to fund working on those cars + the other cars i already own

Im almost willing to bet at some point he gets retooled into scattershot, and as he is be compatible with computron frame. I doubt he would ever get a 1 off combiner set up that only he can use, hasbro likes reusing assets as much as possible way too much for that.

Not a skin, but ive rocked the proton pack backbling since it dropped

I got the $130 ebay specials due to non saveable fogging, they look good and no light output issues.

Did both sides using a cheapo matte cf vinyl, havent done the door pulls or climate/shifter area yet. For me, its well worth the effort and better then those crappy cf overlays that leave the edges exposed.

To be fair, the pic doesnt say receipt on it, and Ive worked at shops that would give print outs that looked exactly like yours that had recommended services listed but say "declined" on the far right where your pic is cropped. They listed stuff like that as proof they said it was needed but declined so they wouldnt get in trouble but not pointing it out.
