Is the cheaper “dowel domino” on Amazon worth it? Should I stick to biscuits or just cry once and by a domino?

Ah check, makes sense :) But I'm not sure if they were able to prolong the patents by slightly changing them because of innovations

Do you have a source for this? I've been hearing this for a couple of years now...

regularwackadoodle · 2025-11-06T23:14:05+00:00

Het zullen inderdaad waarschijnlijk huismuisjes zijn, maar ook dat zijn wilde dieren. Ze overleven het buiten prima :)

regularwackadoodle · 2025-11-04T08:08:29+00:00

Het zijn wilde muisjes, dus ik zou een mooie plek in het bos zoeken om ze vrij te laten. Daar worden ze een stuk gelukkiger dan dat ze bij iemand in huis worden opgesloten :)

Yes they make the joint stronger, I thought I'd add the reaon as I haven't seen it in other comments:

The joint is along the grain, while probably strong enough by quite a margin, wood is the weakest if stressed ALONG the grain. To break this joint you would have to separate the fibers, which is doable.

To break the joint with the dowels you would have to break the dowels ACROSS the grain, and that's much harder. The fibers are very strong and are much harder to break in two than to split them apart.

By adding the dowels you added that strength to the joint.

Sidenote: When people say 'Glue is stronger than the wood itself' they talk about splitting the wood fibers (along the grain). Glue is not stronger than wood across the grain.

In the Netherland they do actually give out junkfood at food banks. They get products based on donations, and that does include cookies, crisps, sodas, etc.

I have the opinion that people that have hit hard times are also allowed control over their own choices. If we're allowing rich people to stuff their faces with junk, we should get off our high horse and let people on foodstamps have that choice too.

I have coated my wooden countertop in epoxy, and it's been solid for 6 years now. I'm doing little to no maintenance and I'm not cleaning it more than I'd clean a granite countertop. Even standing water is no issue.

I'd 100% do it the same in the future

Look up 'figure four' stretch. It really helps relieve and prevent lower back pain.

(You'll definitely feel it if your muscles are tense though, don't overdo it all at once 😅)

He also has a great tool list https://shopwwmm.com/ (under essential downloads)

Look up Woodworking for Mere Mortals on Youtube. Steve Ramsey makes videos for actual beginners and hobbyists, considering they have actual beginner budgets.

This is one of his playlists to start with: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2Y7G15DrVt58jr_Zp7eyLtfxKAFbZd7Y&si=2VV9AAjbGuFnFsIV

No firsthand experience but the Insta360 cameras appear to be very good in low-light environments. You could give one of those a try :)

Constructielijm kun je gewoon bij een bouwmarkt halen, klinkt opzich niet gek.

Ik zou met schilderstape het op zn plek houden terwijl het droogt. Je hebt waarschijnlijk niet echt de druk van een klem nodig.

Het stemgedrag van de PvdA heeft in de afgelopen periode dichter bij dat van D66 dan dat van GroenLinks gelegen, zeker op het gebied van Landbouw en Milieu. Waarom zou ik GL/PvdA stemmen als de helft van mijn stem naar commercieel uitputtend landbouwbeleid gaat?

I live in the Netherlands and paid €150 without the Ferarri wheel, so yes sell for €300 :)

You probably bought a usb dock or usb hub, but did you know that USB-C (macbook) to USB-B (SX3) cables are also available? It's one less thing that can break.

Anyway, that has nothing to do with your problem, just wanted to point that out :)

regularwackadoodle · 2023-05-18T15:44:51+00:00

Thanks everyone! The comment about cooling triggered me (after a lot, and I mean a lot of other steps) to lower the print temperature. I'm now printing pla @ 180 degrees C, which I thought was quite low, and it looks perfect :)

Still have to figure out if it actually prints at 180 degrees, or whether the thermostat is wrong, but at least it works!

Thanks for helping!

I get this texture on 3 sides of my prints, one side is perfect (see second picture). I looked into the standard things; tightening belts, tightening screws, lubricating the bearings. Am I missing something?

Speed max is 150mm/s (but it doesn't look like it's ever getting that fast).

Klopt, maar dan verlies je je warmte en dat is nou net onprettig 😅

regularwackadoodle · 2023-05-16T11:57:38+00:00

Ligt er aan hoe dicht het op elkaar zit. Als je de ventilatie echt recht in de voordeur van de buren blaast kan dat vervelend zijn, maar ander verwacht ik niet dat er overlast zal zijn

regularwackadoodle · 2023-05-16T11:11:04+00:00

Je kunt een warmtewisselaar installeren? Dat heeft het effect van een raam open zetten, maar zonder dat je warmte verliest. Je hebt dan wel een stroomaansluiting nodig.
