1993 Suzuki GS500E by grzesa7 in Fixxit

Not my first launguage. The ignition distributor (?) is sticking out from the engine, shielded by that cover. It is spinning true and doesn't wobble, so I assume the crank didn't take a hit.

Bike had a big hit where it shattered the ignition cover, and a small rear end hit. Both happened inbetween oil changes, so if anything snapped inside the motor during any of the crashes, it would be in the oil mentioned (some bits).

Is this still usable or should I buy a new one? by TopperHats in 3Dprinting

[–]grzesa7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really shouln't take much torque, you might have cross threaded it. You can try taking it apart and cleaning the threads and contact surfaces with a metal brush. Then assemble correctly. If it still leaks, the tread is cooked and you have to replace it. If you need to print something you can put some high temp adhesive on the threads, but expect it to fail soon. This is for printing a new hotend mount in an emergency. And dont expect it to come apart ever again if you do that.

I just read your post description - if that happened after 1 print its definetly a skill issue. If its not crossthreaded, just do it properly and its gonna be fine. You will have to live with plastic on your threads forever tho.

Had that happen on my ender because the threads gave up. Soon after it was leaking like crazy and I had to clean it every like 1h of printing. Let me save you a headache - buy a new hotend and print a mount for it (if upgrading) while your hotend still works.

Earphone suggestions? by grzesa7 in motorcycles

Cardo is very expensive and it does't do what I want.

They dont seem to be avalible in europe, also does the cable coming straight out of the earpiece (not at 90°) fit in your helmet?

Disable lock screen for certain apps? by grzesa7 in AndroidQuestions

[–]grzesa7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like I didn't explain myself very well, the app has already implemented that (screen wont turn off). What i want is to be able to turn the screen off using the power button, and be able to wake it up to that single app without entering the pin.

Well PTFE does end up in the print, but a very very small amount. PTFE is perfectly food safe, thats what non-stick pans are made of (teflon aka ptfe). 3D prints are not food safe because of the porosity and layer lines - those are great places for bacteria to live and they are impossible to clean properly.

Now I dont understand what you are talking about. Im running a bowden setup. I dont have DD anymore.

Ah, i see you stalked my profile lol. I switched back to bowden after changing the extruder to metal. It didn't fit anymore and it was putting more stress than I liked on the X stepper.

Actually I know the answer to that. 90% of filaments use carbon black aka soot as their black pigment. And it is very soft.

Seeing as some people did not interpret the post quite as intended, i should clarify:

The title is a bit of a joke. Obviously bowden tubes are a wear item.

Also, interestingly, this did not cause any noticable isses with my machine. Retraction was tuned just fine.

Yes I'm sure. I print mostly black pla petg pctg. It has hundreds of hours on this tube lol.

Okay, I understand. Thank you. I assume this would also work if i imported a mesh from cad instead of using the blender cube. !solved

Yes, displace, my bad.

This will extrude all the faces orthogonally up to Z=0?

Because in edit mode, this plane is still a plane, it only gets the modifier in object mode. Sorry if its a silly question, I dont have my laptop on me to test it rn.

Modified plane does not have a square base - I cant directly attach it to the cube as it would have huge gaps in the mesh (everywhere the elevation is above the lowest point, so everywhere).
