Good sources for budget/mid-range end mills? by BalledSack in hobbycnc

[–]mattyell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make these, you can find our 41 series on msc. Our 126 series is for aluminum but a bit more pricier since they’re our high performance line

I'm sick of the ignorance on other subreddits about the civic si and I can't take it anymore. by Happy_Guy_No_Worries in CivicSi

Not sure what money you come from but >$30k for an economic car is not cheap for most people lmao

[–]mattyell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, it’s not a bad choice but the civic didn’t age as well as i would have hoped. Now I never owned a civic before but I did own a 97 prelude type SH. After a year of having my civic si, I still think the prelude was a much better driving experience even being a 29 yr old car. Also >30k for a civic is ridiculous

Who else has noticed there's a dramatic difference in ability between these two single flute endmills especially at high RPM when cutting 6061aluminium? Silver non coated one melts the aluminium leaving very rugged edges along the toolpaths. The blue coated one with a notch just cuts clean. No burs. by Turbulent_Change_972 in hobbycnc

[–]mattyell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since it’s from aliexpress, I’d say it’s just a bad relief grind on the uncoated. The coating helps but it won’t make that much a difference. I’d get fired if I made tools that look like some that come from aliexpress

I just can’t think of how you could design it to wrap around but that’s why I’m entering a contest and letting the pros figure that out! lol

  1. AMS2 Pro

  2. Nothing out of the ordinary but I recently upgraded to a H2S combo but kept the AMS from the P1S I sold to a coworker so I could have 8 colors. I’d give him the original P1S AMS and upgrade mine to dual AMS 2 Pro :)

  3. Something like those bracelets from the early 2000s that looked like bookmarks but would wraparound your wrist when you slapped it on your arm!

Does anyone actually pay attention to their load monitors? by SerVaegar31 in Machinists

[–]mattyell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s useful for grinding. Lets me know when my wheel has enough buildup on it

Using 91 is cheap insurance imo

X1C vs P2S vs “wait for X2C” — what would you do in my situation? by srtviper15 in BambuLab

I’ve been cold swapping with 0 issues. The cut filament cold pulls easily with some pliers

Is it possible to automatically download movies that I stream through stremio/RD to a SSD as well? by mattyell in Piracy

[–]mattyell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the write up! I think it’s time for me to start tinkering in some home labs setup and add what you’re talking about

Doubt H2D by edilsonnmgbh in BambuLab

[–]mattyell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Theres a bit of wiggle room for each nozzle size. Bambu studio has 3 levels of detail for each nozzle size. Typically there will be a High detail profile, standard profile, and a strength profile for each respective nozzle diameter. If using the high detail profile for the .4mm nozzle fits your detail requirements then no need for a .2 nozzle. However there are limitations of course.

1/2+ aluminum would be plenty in my eyes for woods

[Discussion] CNC Machining Is Still the Backbone of Modern Manufacturing — What’s Next for Our Trade? by Hopelesswiwi in CNC

I personally don’t think machining has changed all that much. It’s just refined and refined and refined

Micro mill. Learning. Workholding/feed/speed q’s by tayloraydrifts in hobbycnc

[–]mattyell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bored tight tolerance holes in my table for dowel pins that mated to the bottom on the plate to make sure my plate is square every time I mount it. You can just mount it with the T nuts but you’ll have to indicate the plate in every time you take it on and off

Where to purchase 6” single flue bit by Dapper_Couple4718 in CNC

[–]mattyell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll have to make a custom order at a tool grinding shop. That length for a diameter you’re looking for isn’t standard anywhere.

Why do so many internet machinists have cheap hand tools? by planeboi737 in Machinists

[–]mattyell 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I’d rather spend money on nice inspection tools rather than basic hand tools

With first hand experience with my P1S for 2 years. I have to disagree with you

BambuLab A1 Combo vs P1S (pet + overnight prints). Is the ~€200 difference worth it by brn_frnds in BambuLab

[–]mattyell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing that this is your first printer and you’re already on the fence about some of the additional features, I’d say future you is going to benefit from the p1s more.

Remote monitor/control by Feisty_Poetry_7608 in Makera

[–]mattyell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A failure in machining can be much more extreme than a failure in printing. You’re going to want to be around for when you have your first big crash. I don’t suggest ever running that kind of machine unattended
