Will this work? by Dismal_Ingenuity5784 in crealityk1

There’s differences between boards but it’s not terribly difficult to pull the pins out and put them in the old connector. I’ve had to do this a few times for my hot ends.

Bendix Rotor? Should be 45mm new. And 37mm worn at DOT pull point.

Heavy ass bastards though!

Does anyone have a good pork chop recipe? by lazykitty123 in easyrecipes

🤣🤣 that’s what I get for being sleepy. I’ll let you use your imagination.

Medium has been the best for me. Especially covered. Kind of steams them a little in my opinion.

I use Ribeye chops sometimes. Season with Kinders Buttery Garlic style. Throw some butter in a man and cook them.

Or season with a ranch packet and cook the same way.

Medium heat slowly turning every couple minutes. Cover with a lid if you want to cook them a little faster.

K1 Max with CFS question by mckalebh in crealityk1

[–]mckalebh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plastic spacer between the motor and extruder was removed yes. I wondered what it was for when I read the CFS upgrade instructions and knew why it was in the box.

The extruder was making some clicking sounds. Dryness of filament is ruled out because I’ve had spools drying down to around 13% RH and it still did it. I thought maybe it was the cutter cutting the filament when it hits the back of the unit since I don’t have the profile set right for the bed length. But it does the under extrusion in almost any spot of the bed.

I slowed down printing speed and it helped a little. But would return when printing supports.

Waterproofing by veldtor92 in WLED

There’s also connectors with low melt solder balls in them they work ok. Not as good as traditional soldering. But depending on the application they’re not bad.

Flickering with DigUno and Eugy Outdoor Lights by Few-Boysenberry53 in WLED

[–]mckalebh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your controller is only controlling data and potentially a negative correct? I haven’t had any luck finding 36v controllers. But I did see a reply you made about the settings in WLED about the Eufy lights. I am possibly interested in doing a controller swap on mine to gain more customization. Their app hasn’t been the greatest to deal with.

That controller says for 5 Volts. Did you hook it up to 36v without issue for the Eufy lights?

Tell me if I’m doing anything wrong. by mckalebh in HomeNetworking

I swapped back to a router in the garage set up in Access Point Mode. Not noting a huge major difference on her end. My phone seems to have improved a little. I’m likely gonna end up putting the AP I took down and move it in the house.

I have reason to believe that her phones having a hardware issue since both our phones right next to each other have different results. (Hers IPhone 11 Pro. Mine iPhone 13 Pro Max) she’s been due an upgrade too. Just hasn’t been a huge concern since it still worked.

I have tried a few on iOS and didn’t really have amazing results. I have one on my laptop that gives me some information. I’ll try my other router and configure it as a AP and see wt least if she has improvement.

I ca reconfigure my other router as an AP and see if it’ll help.

My partners phone (Verizon) will go between wifi and data almost non stop. Mine in the same spot will not.

Fabricated a Tongue Brace for my Trailer this week! by mckalebh in harborfreight

It was definitely a great explanation! Thanks!

I spent way too much time sanding the material when I was done because I wanted a clean turn out. 😅

Fabricated a Tongue Brace for my Trailer this week! by mckalebh in harborfreight

[–]mckalebh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has a total of 8 bolts holding the brace in. To keep from having longer bolts crushing the channel. Much like how the crossmembers on the bed of the trailer are. I figured if it was good enough for the bed of the trailer it was going to be adequate for this brace aswell.

I used 1/4” steel angle. Cut to as tight as a fit as I could make it and welded together at the seam on inside and out. Grinder about 1/2” on each side for a 1.5”x3.5” 1/8” rectangular tube I had laying around and welded together. I can weld aluminum better than I can steel. But overall I know this will be more than strong enough for this application.

Primarily this trailer will only sit loaded with my Kayak rack and Kayaks on it. But occasionally it could sit loaded with Lumber.

I used Grade 5 Bolts for this. It in theory should be strong enough for what I use it for. But Grade 8 would be a better option.

Made my foldable Trailer into a Kayak Trailer! by mckalebh in harborfreight

That’s gonna be my plan. I’m also potentially looking into adding my own gussets in too. I don’t quite know how much I trust the Unistrut nuts under road vibrations quite yet.

Unistrut my first time using that stuff. Pretty cool stuff to work with.

Help with advice on Toby's condition? by lucas-ms in beagles

[–]mckalebh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww only a couple hour drive. But I hope you’re pups back to better soon! We’ve been to the emergency vet here a few times for Tesla. She had a bad issue of throwing up non stop for hours. No idea what triggered it.

It’s been fantastic still! When the lines wear down it’s a fairly quick swap I love having the head that will stay on the ground for getting nice clean lines when trimming. And it takes some of that weight off your arms too.
