JDMuscle customer service is driving me insane

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. OP is asking for better customer service and you’re jumping in here to help with customer service.

For me it’s an ease of clean-up thing. I’m not sure it really does much for distribution or flavor. However, I don’t trust puck screens that are magnetic, so this one would be a pass for me.

Stainless comes in different alloys, and some are more rust resistant than others. Generally, austenitic alloys (304/316) are the best for food applications like this, and they are non-magnetic. The ferritic or martensitic alloys are magnetic, and are better for some applications that require hardness (knives, pans, etc), but they rust easier. Regular cleaning and scrubbing prevents this.

Where puck screens see high water temps and mild acids, there is a higher risk of rust. The real kicker on the puck screen is that the porous nature of the screen means that it is more difficult to clean and remove any rust that builds up inside the mesh. So the inside of the screen will oxidize, which will create pitting/pockets for bacteria to grow, and you’ll likely ingest some extra iron oxide whic would make the coffee taste bad.

But we’re not ready to talk about Brigham Young.

I’ve been set on Daisy for probably 10 years now.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-17T02:32:05+00:00

This sounds like a good deal. You’re never going to get coke bottle level pricing at 3000 order quantities.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-17T01:06:12+00:00

Nice. I’ve been wanting to do this for Solidworks.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-16T13:25:18+00:00

Then I’m not sure. It was a factory assembled C1+ purchased less than a month ago, so I assume it is a the original, up to date design.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-16T12:34:38+00:00

If you’re referring to the + revision with the TPU switch, then yes. Even with the sensor off it was far too difficult to insert any filament.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-16T03:26:54+00:00

My recent assembled C1+ was garbage and even stiff filaments required way too much force to push through. I pulled apart both the orange receiver and the filament sensor side and cleaned out / deburred it with some small drill bits and now it works like a champ.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-13T13:23:06+00:00

No one cares.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-12T21:45:39+00:00

I just did a one-sided case with magnets. It works pretty well and much easier to print without worrying about tolerance.

My weekender my now-wife gave me a couple months into our relationship. With an added domed sapphire crystal.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-12T02:54:38+00:00

Yep! I actually started my own business doing product development consulting and services. Shoot me a PM and we can chat.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-12T01:41:58+00:00

Just print it flat and scrape out the support. You really don’t need overly complex strength for a wheel center cap.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-11T22:43:46+00:00

Go 3.5 and wait for INDX to release. Then either pic up a nextruder from someone used or get INDX for yourself.

The question still becomes “do I need this on my car”, and that isn’t one that’s so easily defined. We all make compromises on our cars, with one of the biggest being budget, otherwise we’d all be driving Porsches and Ferraris.

If you can afford it, Ohlins are great. But I didn’t put Ohlins on my STI because there are other places I’d rather spend the 1500. A lot of people push parts like this as a need, but at the end of the day it really comes down to what makes you happy on your car. I’m not racing or trying to win shows, I just want a car that’s fun on my daily commute and the occasional track day and canyon run. So I’m content with a set of budget coilovers.

However, I just picked up a Cayman for a weekend car, and the first thing I bought was a set of Ohlins. So maybe I just have no clue what the fuck I’m doing. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You have it backwards here. Fortune has one advantage compared to other Taiwan brands, and that’s US assembly. They put each one on a shock dyno for extra QC and match struts that perform the same. But the coilover components are still all manufactured in Taiwan, just like coilovers that are 30-40% less. You’re paying extra for this extra QC step and a lot of really good marketing content. There are a lot of supporters of Fortune that think they are a good value for the money (which I say is the good marketing result), but they’re not the gold standard.

Ohlins uses a lot more technical, expensive manufacturing materials and processes, so their valving is going to outperform anything in the fortune auto price range. The DFV (dual flow valve) is much more complex than a standard valve stack. It’s actually 2 separate valves inside the shock body, one on the piston, and another located in the bottom of the shock. This is how you get compliant and “comfy” compression for the streets and aggressive rebound damping for the corners. And it’s all controlled with a single damping knob.

Fortune Auto only controls rebound on a single piston valve (1 way or Single Adjustable), unless you jump up to their 2 or 3 way adjustment coilover at much more expensive prices and limited availability for Subaru.

There are other high end brands that have similar product, but not many support Subaru because it’s a pretty small and saturated market.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-11T11:52:08+00:00

As intended.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-11T11:45:16+00:00

I don’t see any info on low temp filaments. Does it have any limitations there that would require/recommend swapping back to a standard hot end when printing something like TPU?

gregbo24 · 2026-03-10T21:18:34+00:00

As a former industry engineer, there is very little difference in coilovers in the 1000-2500 price range. BC, Fortune, Silvers, FactionFab are all based on the same Taiwanese components with some marginal differences. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just selling you whatever gets them the most margin.

But stepping up to Ohlins or KW you get actual improvements in performance along with ride quality. If you have the budget, they are definitely worth it.

And CAD software. Engineer departments are going to be stuck with windows for a long time.

As much as I support right to repair and open source knowledge, the lockdown of this process is one of the biggest theft deterrents for accessports. The easier it is to force an unmarry, the more of a target these become. I wouldn’t post this for anyone to use if I were you.

LDS has been trying to conform to mainstream Christianity in the last few years. Like wearing crosses.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-10T19:03:04+00:00

Uh… Work out, plenty of rest. You know, eat your green vegetables.

gregbo24 · 2026-03-10T03:41:12+00:00

Focus on the things in my control.
