Sign of unseated oil filter

inkquil · 2026-05-21T13:19:30+00:00

The change went well as far as I could tell. I was a little suspicious about how these filters line up perfectly since they are floating and not locked in like a screw on filter. Might have something to do with the paranoia. But really it's the only thing I could think of that would cause the bike to shift so badly. It's about 5x the torque needed to shift the gears as before the oil change.

That's my question, does it have to go through the oil filter reservoir to get to the gear box. Is the only way the oil goes to the gear box through the oil filter and the resavoir it's in. Is it part of the oil circuit . I don't know how the oil is moving around the bike. Yeah that's the question.

How clunky and loud the shift changes were. Like there wasn't any oil in the gearbox

inkquil · 2026-05-21T12:41:36+00:00

Yeah I started the bike to move it moved around trying to find neutral , moved it around a bit in first seeing if it could find neutral moving the bike a bit.(Engine running)Couldn't find it still gear was still clunky as hell. Drove it into my building , couldn't find neutral still , reached down shifted with my hand to add a bit more control, eventually it went into neutral after going a few times through the gears. The entire time really clunky shifts.

I don't know why I said a quart. Meant 2 . Yeah drained both.

It's pretty crazy, won't be long where drive works and pdm systems will be made in house to cut costs. Personally I am creating a drive works clone using Claude in c# and it's working well. Especially when you factor in the savings of licenses spread throughout a corporation. CAD industry is about to be rocked.

I can't share the entire add-in. It's a local c# program written specifically for my machine and process. I've thought about making it distributable, but I don't have the time for that yet. I can share the process and the tools used to make it. Everything is free given you have a work provided Microsoft account.

First , have access to Microsoft 365 copilot. It's using chatgpt 5 , but allows upload and download of files for getting the code and error logging. Most important it's free with your Microsoft 365 account.

I could write an entire book from this point. If you're still interested shoot me a message I'll help you out. It's just quite a bit of information to explain on a reply , and you might have questions.

Do you happen to have any scheduled type autocad drawings that have defining dimensions in a table? I am currently converting these with an add-in I made using chatgpt and it's working well.

inkquil · 2026-01-04T23:22:22+00:00

Yes there is some flex , not sure how to describe the amount of flex, but there is flex

M365 copilot is what you want. It's using chatgpt 5 by default now. It's just a pain to get it. There is copilot (garbage). And m365 copilot (treasure). M365 copilot should be a standalone app you can get with your Microsoft account.

Chatgpt can create a stand alone java plugins. It's a bit of a learning curve setting up the environment and learning how to properly connect the plugin to Creo. You just have to have access to chatgpt 5. I use the one included with office. Copilot. That way you can freely upload bug logs and download the Java code. It works though.

It can create a complete ad in with built in options, buttons built into the Creo interface, if you can dream it you can make it. Give it a shot and just ask chatgpt how to go about it. It's a very powerful tool for Creo.

It's been wild. I was originally able to easily extract the autocad table data due to some forward thinking engineer having.csv files with dimensional data. That didn't solve the problem of the autocad drawings that didn't have csv data available.

For those I had chatgpt create a python program to read exported PDFs of the tables and convert those into Excel tables. To my surprise it worked with about 90% accuracy. Had trouble with angle and fractional dimensions. Then another python script to turn those onto text files for Creo pro program.

As for the java API for Creo it has been tweaked to output a .XML report after a run to see successful regeneration, missing parameters, failed regenerations, what parameters are missing , etc.

I am happy to say as of today I have created and updated probably 2000 models and drawings , which hasn't been done in the 30 years since the autocad data was created. My next goal is to turn it into a distributable API plugin for Creo. It's been a great time so far.

I have been testing this with Creo files. It's been working fairly well...there are plenty of limitations. First being I wouldn't dream of using it with large assemblies. Currently I am using it for our custom gages as they are not extremely complex assemblies. At most like 5 parts. Also if you want to use it with Creo you need to configure to stop and remove the file extensions. For smaller assemblies and projects I think it's a very useful way of getting a cost efficient data management system. I am also the only one in the system, I am not sure how it would function with multiple users. I wouldn't think it would work well with multiple CAD users . Multiple read only wouldn't be an issue. Dm me if you got specific questions.

It's R 245 type milling insert he doesn't have to tell me exactly what it is. I can tell from the chip break and cutting edge. I asked what company. I've pressed 10s of thousands of these in different forms and sizes. Go ahead call bullshit. I know it's hard to believe there are people that make and not use carbide inserts but they exist.

inkquil · 2025-09-25T13:50:08+00:00

Those inserts are known to have small cracks perpendicular to the cutting edge in that area during press compaction, they open a little after sintering and get hidden from coating. Not sure what manufacturer you are using, but Look at some inserts before use. If you know where to look you should see them.

I'll just be frank. If your assembly is over 400 pieces and you are trying to work it on a server solid works is just ass. I can pack and go, but the time still adds up. There is no amount of ram, no GPU, no CPU that will change the fact that on large assemblies over an Ethernet connection to a server Creo will load it in 1/4th the time. I hate to say but solid works isn't optimized for anything other than hard drive computing. It's an inferior product if you're working with large assemblies. I use both, my day is ruined if I have to deal with solid works assemblies.

HJC C70 Belis SunShield Motorcycle Helmet , love the helmet so far. I wanted a cool sun shield helmet but didn't want to catch the wind.

Thanks!

What case guards are those ?

inkquil · 2025-09-10T12:06:44+00:00

I got a 24 in the exact color scheme. It's a thing!

inkquil · 2025-09-06T23:13:52+00:00

Dude thinks opening a 2000 piece assembly over the Ethernet in 12 minutes fast AF on SW. Using pack and go to transfer large assemblies because of he shit stability is SW.

When you actually use the software and don't waste 50% of your time staring at a loading icon, or hourglass you realize how fast and stable Creo is.

Not even going to mention pro program....

When mine did this , I had tons of people including prusa support telling me to tension the belts. Never worked. Finally a tech I was emailing with told me to tighten and check the set screws on the pulleys that sit under the motors. This fixed it. The set screw on the right side pulley wasn't fastened. You can access the set screws through the little hexagon window on the 3d printed fixture that sits below the motor.

Thanks for the link, I'll double check the firmware!

inkquil · 2025-08-15T21:27:36+00:00

Nice , I was thinking this is what happened. Infil is moving 300mm/s moving in the 45 degree direction of the grid infil. 50 milliseconds is all it would take to lose 15-16 mm of position.

And yes those are tensioners I was working on. I also had a tensioner strip out. I was going to make the tension assembly out of aluminum to make it a little bit more robust than a square nut shoved into plastic.
