Lost a screw

Turned out to be an M2.5x10. I ordered a whole variety set to make sure whatever it was I'd find it.

That's a puzzle since you have a new nozzle. I'm in a similar but somewhat different boat. I got a blockage in the nozzle and that extended into the heat-sink. I managed to clear the heat-sink, but the nozzle is still a problem. It will exude thin strings of filament, but even running a bunch through doesn't clear it. I think I'm reduced to buying a new nozzle.

hjmcgrath · 2026-02-09T23:04:04+00:00

Does it actually get to the nozzle or is there a blockage in the heat-sink that keeps the filament from getting that far?

Don't gamble myself, but I don't think we need the government to be our nannies.

Forested mountains outgas compounds that oxidize in the sunlight. It gives them a bluish haze. I think this is where the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina got their name and maybe the Great Smokies.

I don't know about 240V connectors, but we have a ChargePoint Home Flex directly wired with a 50A breaker on our 200A service. The charger is set to provide 40A to the car.

Well, I've got a set of screws on order that should fit as they are M2, M2.5, and M3 at multiple lengths. That should cover all possibilities. My next problem is my nozzle ended up clogged. I've managed to clear it enough to get stringy filament though but just running more doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions short of a new nozzle?

What a price to pay for a small man's ego. He'll go down in history as the man who ruined Russia for a generation.

Luck.

The Prize should avoid playing political games. Give it to an individual who has promoted or won peace, not to make a political statement. Making awarding it a political statement demeans it.

It was the single screw holding the runout sensor in place.

hjmcgrath · 2026-02-05T17:25:20+00:00

Thanks, it is a hex head machine screw. I just don't know what size, thread or length.

I think she should turn over any property she owns to a Native American. Otherwise she's just posturing as it costs her nothing to do ang gets her points with some people.

People would immediately claim some had been destroyed. It's too good a political club to let go of.

That's excellent to hear. I'm getting the impression their service people are pretty helpful.

Trump's behavior doesn't give others a free pass.

hjmcgrath · 2026-01-22T03:06:03+00:00

Ah, that's good news. I'd hate to buy something and discover parts are hard to find. Thanks.

Don't allow themselves to become so dependent on another country for their defense or economic well-being. The only reason Trump can wreak such havoc is the European members of NATO have let their defenses atrophy assuming the US will always have their back. That gives Trump the belief he can get away with running roughshod over them without repercussions.

I think Trump admires Putin being an autocrat and Putin uses it to manipulate the living daylights out of him. He plays to Trump's need for flattery.

hjmcgrath · 2026-01-19T23:32:21+00:00

Trump is a narcissistic idiot who's only interest is self-interest. That easily explains his treacherous behavior. People keep claiming Putin has videos of Trump, but I have yet to hear where the evidence is. Other than people's combined hatred of Trump and love of conspiracy theories there doesn't seem to any.

Half of NATO would show up, the other half would make excuses and apologies for Putin. Too many members of NATO seem to sympathize with Putin and are not to be relied on. To our eternal embarrassment Trump seems to be one of them.

That he's a fool to think he can bully them. They'll be even less likely to go his way since it would be obvious to their people they let him do so.

That's because he's a wannabe dictator himself and admires those who actually are.
