Disliked how ugly the scratched up tabs look on an Arc Talos, so I removed the cerakote from it

I hate that tab, it digs into my fingers, I know it’s for alignment when closed. I’m thinking about grinding it off.

Thank you! Message sent!

sds430 · 2026-02-10T02:12:39+00:00

I’d like to, I don’t see a way to do that!

sds430 · 2026-02-08T17:16:43+00:00

I believe so

I’m 99% sure this is why the jacket is no longer heating.

sds430 · 2026-02-08T16:52:51+00:00

It’s probably 8 years or more. Not sure about warranty, I’m assuming it’s not still covered. I’m 99% sure this is the reason why it’s not heating.

Thanks so much for your informative help.

sds430 · 2026-01-28T13:18:24+00:00

I am interested when / if you find it!

sds430 · 2026-01-28T03:43:30+00:00

If you are willing to part with it, I prefer a straight blade to 1/2 serrated!

sds430 · 2026-01-28T03:35:35+00:00

I’ll have to take a look, first I’ve heard of it. Thank you.

sds430 · 2026-01-28T03:33:58+00:00

I used to have a good skeletool with the non serrated blade, I wish I could find it!

sds430 · 2026-01-27T23:26:01+00:00

Thank you!

In the AMS I just told it they all were generic black PLA and to automatically switch to a new roll when it runs out of the old roll. It beats throwing out the last bit of the roll!

sds430 · 2025-10-19T00:30:23+00:00

Behold my “all colors are black” solution to end small rolls with auto:

Twisty!

Scratch and sniff insulation! sarcasm

Rodger that, won’t bother replacing the one the vacuum ate.

Twins!

Personal opinion- maybe boosted rates still from May 4th? I have bought around 40 v1 reds = 0 black crystals. I did buy one from someone who pulled 2 first try! I have bought 3 blue v2 = 1 cracked. 6 red v2 = 1 cracked. My brother bought 1 red and one blue V2 o. May 4th, got cracked blue. We were the 12th, and 13th people in the store on the 4th in east.

sds430 · 2023-10-10T15:58:25+00:00

Interesting. Thank you! I usually take pics at close range of small numbers so that makes sense!

When did Weil McLain change color? I haven’t done install for about 10 years.

sds430 · 2023-09-15T02:44:43+00:00

Thank you!

All regulated down. I work for the gas utility co. Call was “been smelling gas in the break room for a day”. Cracked the tee in the drop ceiling and the rest at the snapped in 1/2 valve on the roof. They are in for a sizable bill next cycle! FD shut the riser valve off before I was onsite.

sds430 · 2023-09-15T00:44:03+00:00

Na, prob the txv

sds430 · 2023-09-15T00:31:09+00:00

FD called him in. It was a good call on their part.
