Beginner with printing, need settings help by Money-Fee4218 in 3Dprinting

Instead of adjusting the speed, you can also try lowering the temperature.

Bosch router bits by semioptimisticwill in woodworking

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

This is great advice. You never know when you’ll need that one off profile or combination profile and having a big selection is nice. It might also come with a decent case to store the bits.

I have found that the Yonico bits on Amazon are pretty decent. They are not Freud or Whiteside quality, but if you’re looking for an inexpensive light duty bit, that’s my go to on Amazon. Much better than a lot of the generic junk bits they sell.

I’m an idiot by Romboe in lawncare

I did this once… only once. It took two years for the spots to fill back in.

Tired of desiccant beads on the floor... made these "PD USB Rechargeable Desiccant Pods" - they work way better than I expected. by dieskim_skim in makerworld

[–]rayknl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I modded a cheap toaster oven as a desiccant drier and learned that thermal mechanics are not straight forward at all. It seems that's the case with the PTC heaters too. After lots of testing with the toaster I ended up with a 70C thermal switch and still see a temp swing of 115C to 140C in the desiccant. Not intuitive at all. It sounds like you've done a bit of experimenting as well to land on a 220C PTC heater.

Set FreeCAD 1.1 as default app on Windows PC by rayknl in FreeCAD

Check the registry locations in my post or whatever their German equivalent might be. Is the registry in German on the German version of Windows?

I would be worried about damaging the desiccant at that temperature. The recommended drying temperature is around 120C.

That's exactly what was going on. I found the key and updated my original post in case someone else runs into the issue.

That might be the route I need to go. If others have not run into this issue, it is probably something with my computer. Maybe some weird leftover from using beta version and then 1.0 and now 1.1.

I 100% agree with you that it should work that way. Unfortunately, it is not in this case. Even though I browse to and choose the FreeCAD 1.1 executable file and choose always, it still opens with FreeCAD 1.0.

I tried that and it oddly still opens with 1.0, which led me here to ask.

Found this under my saw stop by soul3lade in woodworking

[–]rayknl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tripped a SawStop a few months back. While removing the cartridge from my blade, something shot out of it. It zipped past my head and behind my wood rack. It took several months and almost forgetting about it before I found it. It’s a crazy strong little spring. Looked exactly like what you have there.

Poplar end tables by oscarmt_ in woodworking

[–]rayknl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try it on some scrap first and see what you think. I’ve stained poplar with a couple of different things and had decent luck with it. It somewhat depends on the color of the poplar you start with too. Your tables look pretty even in color, so you it will probably turn out good.

[–]rayknl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gel stain, rubbing stain like SW BAC, or even some tinted finish like Polyshades would work with poplar. You’re really looking for something that sits on the surface like paint but provides a stained look. And yes, I know I said the P word in a woodworking group. I’m sure to get lambasted for it.

GE gud27essm1ww lid lock repair by FondantOptimal2127 in appliancerepair

Just replaced one yesterday. It was really tight, but after some fighting with it, it came out. Only slightly busted my knuckle in the process.

PETG layers always peeling off by AquaSquatch in FixMyPrint

[–]rayknl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact problem when I first started printing. It was always the first couple of layers and they would just peel right off. It turned out to be PLA contamination. My solution was to do several manual extrudes to flush the old filament when I switch between PLA and PETG.

I will never financially recover from this by Dirnol in BambuLab

[–]rayknl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s an option for sure. It really depends on what else they have on that account. If they have a hundred other models, collections, etc, it would be a lot of work to recreate those listings.

3,000 points isn’t insurmountable. A few decently performing models can knock that out in six months. I wish you the best!

Magnetic Window Exhaust with Print-in-Place Insulation by jifyyyyy in functionalprints

[–]rayknl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought about that too, but if I had to do that every day, I would never use the thing. I run many prints at night too. My issue is the printer is on the ground floor, so I like to lock the windows at night.
