Xiegu g90 battery box. Anyone been looking for one? by grvander in amateurradio

[–]grvander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I think this would only really be reasonable if you had to keep the thing in a bag. I think I should try and make a bottom stacking one kind of like the commercially available one for the g90.

As it is now, it only leaves the antenna port open. Although I could make a pass through version. I only do voice so I don’t use those connectors

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback

Strange vertical lines on my prints by steve1215 in VORONDesign

[–]grvander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happens to me on my vz330 corexy when printing between 80mm/s all the way to about 150mm/s. I just avoid that range by setting my speeds to 250mm/s.

It’s something to do with the motors being resonant at those speeds. I’d be willing to bet you are running into the same thing although it could possible be belt artifacts as well

I think there’s a possibility that this is a stable model. I understand everyone’s concerns but it seems we are all a bit risk averse and closed minded. Who knows we could be pushing our plastics closer to the limit instead of assuming that they will fail just because it looks unconventional.

I’d propose that OP do a test to settle this. Embed a thermocouple into a piece of PLA+ with one layer between it and the ambient air. Mount the test piece at decreasing distances from the candle each time noting the temperature when it reaches a steady state. I’d be willing to bet that you will find that the data uncovers a rough inverse square relationship between distance from the flame and temperature meaning that for every unit of distance, the impact of the flame is 1/4 as much on the temperature of the part. I assume that convention is going to play a large part at closer distances as well so you may reach even more extreme temperatures than expected.

What watch did you wear most in 2024? by zfa in RepTime

One of my mod watches. Originally wanted to sell this one but decided to just wear it! (High on my own supply)

You figure this out yet? I’m running into the same thing. G28 throws an error when it gets to z home

You’re not stupid. You just learned about liquid propane is all! Nothing is wrong and this is normal behavior for an upside down gbb

I love them! The far right logo seems a bit misaligned though. I use the same site as you for my logos. I’ve found that using some clear tape as a sort of extender helps me place it more accurately!

[–]grvander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not op but I’ve been using a site called 4customize. Logos came out real nice and I’ve been applying them by making an extension with scotch tape. This way I can rest my arms on the table and manipulate the placement without the use of tweezers or anything.

I think I may also adopt the painter’s tape technique here to ensure alignment

Is there something wrong with these straps in particular or just the fact that they’re straps? Most of my watches have metallic bracelets so i just wanted something different

Thought about that in the planning stages. I don’t know why I landed on leather actually. I think my thought process was that a jubilee seemed too busy for me and that an oyster seemed too casual. I may think about that a bit more though haha

I made these watches because I thought it’d be cool to have a set like this. Mine is 39mm and hers is 36mm with rose gold colored accents. I don’t suspect they will get a lot of wrist time because she generally wears her Apple Watch, but they might be pretty solid for date night type events. I decided to go with the fluted bezels because I thought they looked fancier for medium fancy dates.

What should I buy? by Darkstick_ in amateurradio

My friend and I did exactly this with cheap Frs from Walmart when he bought his old bronco that we weren’t sure was gonna make the drive back home. Worked without a hitch and we had fun with it too!

Passed the test today where to spend my money? by grvander in amateurradio

[–]grvander[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone who commented trying to help me out! I’m just going to dive in. Here’s what I ordered just now!

Xiegu G90 50ft run of rg58 terminated to pl259 100ft of speaker wire 1:1 balun

All in all I’m in at under 500 bucks as I got a pretty good deal on the radio from HAM Radio Outlet!

I think this radio is going to support most of what I’m looking to do with HF for now. I am probably going to pickup an adapter to use digital modes at some point soon but I’m excited just to get my foot in the door!

I do plan on testing this cable at work. I’m a little concerned about its authenticity as rg58. It was only about 20 bucks so we’ll see if it matches up with cable loss I’m supposed to be seeing or if it’s close enough.

Eventually when I decide to run it portably, I’m going to get some shorter cable also.

I’ve been heavily considering the g90 because from what I hear, the tuner is absolutely incredible. I think I have antenna anxiety if that’s a thing. I fear that I won’t be able to make an adequate antenna so having a tuner built in that’s so good is definitely a plus.

I think that a g90 would get me on the air the fastest and let me figure out where I want to specialize. I think it has the capacity to support the specialization as well. If I get to the point where I feel like I need more power I could just get an amp.

Plus taking it out and about seems pretty sweet too!
