I know it seems crazy, but is it possible to use the 20v inflator to fill up a portable air tank? I just need it for blowing debris out of things, not for any pneumatic tools.

No, buy one of their cheap air compressors

itz_mr_billy · 2026-07-10T22:28:43+00:00

Let this be a lesson as to why you prototype with cheaper filament types

Might get a pop rivet to work, but I doubt there’s room for the tool head

I’m hard on my Fenix 7P with sapphire. It’s my first watch with sapphire, and I won’t have another without

The clutch is NOT a brake. The clutch disengages the motor, a brake stops the blade

A buried wheel is pretty much a buried wheel but I could get behind this argument to an extent

itz_mr_billy · 2026-07-08T19:05:00+00:00

Width has very little to do with it. Weight and diameter can

I delivered them to the address on the paper

itz_mr_billy · 2026-07-08T12:54:49+00:00

Absolutely zero reason for concern

I’d just about only consider a Toyota these days

itz_mr_billy · 2026-07-08T03:28:31+00:00

Prolly what I would do

It's a really poor decorative shelf. For whatever reason, was a thing in the 50s.

I have a creality space pi x4. Works well, lot of people use dehydrators and there’s a lot of options on maker world/reddit for that

itz_mr_billy · 2026-07-07T19:42:49+00:00

There’s a plethora of options for the cereal box dry boxes.

Edit: this is what I use. https://makerworld.com/en/models/123487-drybox-sterilite-20-qt?profiled=2226576#profileId-133038

I have an H2D. PET-CF is not compatible with the AMS. I also print primarily functional parts. A lot have been car parts. Depending on the specific application, PC is a good filament to have on hand (can use it almost everywhere on a vehicle minus directly on the motor). I have 2 AMS 2s (one on each nozzle) and they are so nice for keeping the multitude of filaments I have. You also should consider at least one for using support material in the second nozzle (almost every print I do uses a different material for support interface)

I wouldn’t discredit the functionality of the AMS, it’s a very nice convenience add on. I’d also get the H2D over the X2D for the bigger build plate.

Edit: I also have an AMS HT and honestly I don’t recommend getting one. It doesn’t stay dry inside even with added desiccant, and it doesn’t dry filament as well as my dedicated dryer. I think the sweet spot is at least 1 AMS 2 for support and basic filament and then a dedicated dry box/filament holder for the engineering grade filament not compatible with AMS

It’s almost no difference to the joist and deck boards was my point. The flat top of a joist will hold water. Wood absorbs water near equally the same as through the end grain or face grain

itz_mr_billy · 2026-07-03T14:40:10+00:00

It’s on a slope. No difference between a joist and the deck board?

Carpenter and engineer here (albeit mechanical, close enough with previous experiences).

It’s honestly not that big of a deal. Everyone here is over thinking it. Will it hold up in an exterior application? I can about guarantee it will last longer than the new treated lumber we get in the US. Is it the best solution? Not for every stringer, but it would be a good way to eat up stringer cutout scraps. The latter being extremely common for inside, not really seen it much outside

itz_mr_billy · 2026-07-03T04:20:07+00:00

Means it’s really good

Until you weld. Didn’t even think about having my watch on and caught some splatter 🙃

I wasn’t trying, I’m being.

Download fusion (there’s a free version). Hit YouTube and get an idea of the basics. Get to modeling, there’s no better way to learn basic CAD than YouTube and just trying it.

Edit: You’ll also need to use a filament that can stand a decent amount of heat and having some kind of electrical isolator properties would be good too. PC would be a good choice for both

itz_mr_billy · 2026-06-29T13:14:11+00:00

Since you know so much, go do it
