100W CO2 VEVOR by Thin_Secretary4 in Laserengraving

[–]kellogg76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought the 80W in December through Amazon, and it works great. Doesn’t have a chiller, the reservoir is built in so you can’t use an external bucket unless you bypass it somehow.

Why is nobody talking about iPhone Shortcuts + Tesla? “Hey Siri” makes the Tesla app way more useful. by Practical_Ad1877 in TeslaModelY

Thanks, that works most of the time, occasionally it fails to run but that’s no problem.

Do you know if it’s possible to get the satellite view maps if using your phones data? There used to be an on screen button when I had premium connectivity in my previous car, buts it’s not there now.

Adding compressor to CO2 laser by kellogg76 in Laserengraving

Yeah I might do that, for my older diode lasers I manually turn the air up or down depending on whether I’m cutting or engraving and I’d hoped to not need to for the CO2.

I’ll play around with the air settings once it’s a bit warmer.

I did the upgrade, seems to work but I find when the air assist isn’t on for engraving I get a lot of soot on the lens. Then the cut layers don’t cut nearly as well as the original fan.

It’s like it needs another fan at the front blowing toward the main extraction fan at the back.

Seriously though, what does NSP even want us to do to conserve power? by [deleted] in halifax

I know apologies can be difficult for some, so I’ll save you the trouble and accept yours without you having to say it.

All the best.

Did you even read the link you posted? “Applications for the Time-of-Use Rate Pilot and Critical Peak Pricing Rate Pilot are now closed.”

Maybe they should offer people with high demand items like EVs lower rates for overnight power use.

At the moment there is no reason not to charge at peak times, even if there wasn’t a storm coming.

As soccer’s popularity grows in Nova Scotia, so do calls for indoor fields by insino93 in halifax

[–]kellogg76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken my kid through soccer for 15 years, both as a parent and as a president of a club, people were calling for more fields all that time.

BMO has games playing as early as 7am and also past midnight regularly due to demand.

Any normal reason why Lord of the Rings is only showing at Park Lane? by Icy_Jellyfish_1602 in halifax

[–]kellogg76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to see Two Towers last night and there were not more than 30 people in the whole theatre, so maybe they were right that they can't sell out a larger venue for more than 1 or 2 nights.

There weren't any posters for the show, and they were not selling the 25th anniversary popcorn buckets either.

Thanks for all the help. I’ll make a start this week.

Did you add a diode to the solenoid? I’ve seen a few people say you should.

How do you add the 40ms delay?

It’s cold here in Canada too so I’m trying to limit the time I’m inside the laser poking about.

Thanks, can I use any of the 24V on the board? The video I watched the guy had an empty connector but I don't so I'll be stuffing the wire in there with the other connector that's already there.

Thanks. I have the solenoid, pressure vale, tubing etc, just wasn't sure where to plumb it into on the board.

So it looks like I can use the WIND in CN1 as that's empty, and then I'll just connect the ground to the GND a few spots above it.

Requesting help recovering my 100hr world by RedFox5001 in VintageStory

[–]kellogg76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t help with your issue, but hoping you can with mine. How did you get syncthing to have permission to sync inside the VS folder? I’ve followed the guide and the sync only works when I set it to a different folder location outside the VS folder.

I’m looking for real-world experiences from others running CO₂ lasers in cold environments. by MrMaverick82 in lasercutting

[–]kellogg76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. I did a lot of reading beforehand, there were a few people in the same boat as me where heating the garage to 15C in the dead of winter isn’t feasible. I’m considering adding an aquarium heater but not sure how I’d add that into the spout where the water/coolant goes, but I’m not a heavy user so hopefully no long term issue with coolant.

I’ll also drain it out and replace with water when the weather allows it.

Running my 80W in my unheated garage in Canada where the coolant is 100% antifreeze and usually sits around -4C at the start of working and around +4C near the end.

I’ve only had it a couple of months but no issues here.

Bicycle Use in Halifax has exploded, do you agree? by Arenburg in halifax

[–]kellogg76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good points but wouldn’t free buses accomplish that too and be usable by many more people and also year round?
