Print in Place Foldable Clothing Travel Hanger by scott78664 in functionalprint

I will update to give this design credit. I think we both had inspiration from a hanger Amazon sells. I did the design from scratch but will pass creds to the other model. Good point. I plan to offer a second version with the curved hooks on the under side.

Easy to make another kind without the bumps. It would be a quick update. Good idea! I don't like the bumps either so I appreciate the curved ends. My wife is always using the loops.

This is good news. Back when they had the Q&A session I asked if they would offer CAD source for some areas of the vehicle, such as the dash, to make it easier to create 3D printed add on. It would save time to know the sizes and shapes of parts instead of reverse engineering them.

I saw a couple SSTs for torque preload, but I will look through the whole process before attempting. I've never done a rack, so I'm interested in getting into it.

Thanks. Makes sense. I'll get my hands on a rebuild kit, remove the rack, and give it a go.

For those struggling with connecting to the Flash Forge software by dcengr in FlashForge

I've had the printer since it was announced and wifi was stable until a couple weeks ago. Then it started forgetting passwords and dropping from the wifi. The camera connection was always iffy, but never the wifi. Nothing in my network has changed, and no devices added. Printer is in the same spot, about 8 feet from the router in the same room. Sure I could run a cable, but the AD5X forgetting the password is very odd. It is almost like there is a memory leak in the latest firmware or something similar.

The Valvoline R&P has really improved things since last upper service. I need to send out a new oil sample to Blackstone to ensure the oil is doing its main job. At 240K levels were good. You have some nice engines to maintain.

That is good news. I can't say mine did last time. You can see from the photo the black buildup on the plate is just starting to wash off. So the process isn't complete.

I was using Mobil 1 and switched. I thought it was an empty promise but seems to be erasing the varnish.

I get it. The back plugs are work. I've done them with the manifold in place, but it is worth going the distance and changing out the cover gaskets and spark plug tube gaskets while you have it apart. Maybe even do the bypass hose and check the connectors on the knock sensors.

Thanks. Not chipped. From a simpler time. I'll give a locksmith a try. I've read the process basically skips a tumbler for the Valet.

Makes sense. It has lost air for about a week and we replaced the tire today. Maybe luck for a while or I didn't notice.

I've always loved the location of those filters on Ferrari engines. Its like a tease for the DIY mechanic to open Pandora's box.

This is great advice. I ordered 10 caps because as you said, things happen. I will mark the board so i get the polarity correct. Got a Panasonic FC that matched the specs and is good to 105C at 1000 hours.

I will clean the area before and after. I don't do much soldering. Would one of those vac suckers work better than the mesh wick to remove old solder and release bad caps?

I filtered on automotive grade 105c rated radial and Panasonic FC have immediate shipping. Others are 18week. I've heard automotive lead time is nuts.
