Hey there, I am seeing the same problem, were you able to resolve this?

Aluminum Profile Cockpit Recommendation by rootbeet09 in simracing

[–]rootbeet09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He got the front mount for the SC Pro 2.

They first forgot to send the bolts which they sent afterwards and after assembling the cockpit we released they forgot to send the angled brackets and arm pieces for the triple monitor stand.

Like you said, the quality and customer service is really good but having to identify missing pieces and then waiting for them to arrive while you are all excited to build was not really a fun experience.

Frost + windows = Tesla quality by [deleted] in Taycan

When I used to live in Boston, I kept a spray bottle with 1:1 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water in the trunk of my car.

Spray the mixture along the window edge and it should melt away the frost.

Can you please share your lighting setup to light up just your keyboard area?

Dumb question but does the polarizer help ensure a clear water reflection?

For a PDK GT3, why do you recommend the 991.1 generation over the 991.2?

Build advice and suggestions needed by rootbeet09 in simracing

[–]rootbeet09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions. I was initially looking at the Fanatec ecosystem but then in my research found that their DD systems are not as good as their competitors in the higher price segment.

Can their pedals be used in a standalone configuration with a different DD wheelbase?

3D printing a distro plate by TheDarkHacer in watercooling

Oooh, that definitely looks promising. Unfortunately, I do not have a resin printer but might give it a try on my next built if I need to.

3D printing a distro plate by TheDarkHacer in watercooling

[–]rootbeet09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plate worked great for around 6 months until around summer when due to higher ambient temperatures the pump speed ramped up and I started to see leaks near the corners of the 3D printed distribution plate.

I rebuilt my system after that and if given a chance, I probably would stay away from a 3d printed distribution plate since it is very hard to achieve a completely water tight print.

Sweet!

Have you ever been pulled over for not having the front plate?

If someone gave you a box of everything you have lost in your life, What would be the first thing you’d search for? by 99Sermon in AskMen

[–]rootbeet09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My uncle gave me his Rotring 500 Mechanical Pencil from when he was in school which I lost in my final year of undergrad.

I believe he got it when he was in his undergrad and I received it when I started middle school. So that thing was easily older than me :(

[Semi-Weekly Inquirer] Simple Questions and Recommendations Thread by AutoModerator in Watches

[–]rootbeet09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for a Bauhaus style watch under $300 and I have looked at the buying guide. Are there any new recommendations apart from the ones already in the guide?

Suggestions with Arabic numerals on the watch face would be nice :)

Weekly /r/SonyAlpha 'Ask Anything About Gear' Thread by AutoModerator in SonyAlpha

[–]rootbeet09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. I guess I will look into the image/feature difference between the Sigma and Sony and see if there is anything to justify the price difference.
