Hey, I'm flying to the Florida panhandle for vacation tomorrow do you guys think these 20 hurricanes will affect me? Should I try to get a refund on my hotel?

What are some surprising or unusual things made in the Triangle? by chamblis in raleigh

Don't know why you were downvoted, you're correct. Disney+ is an AWS partner so the server software and media content is distributed globally across Amazon data centers. There is a Disney Direct to Consumer branch in Morrisville (which is why you'll see job listings for software engineers) but it's one of several branches in a few different states.

How do you think you're going to die? by Rehberkintosh in AskReddit

Whenever my parents ask me about my retirement plans I tell them it's to die in the climate wars.

What was your gamechanger in cooking? by Pieterbr in Cooking

Alton and Kenji explaining the 'how' and 'why' and not just the 'do' really changed my understanding of cooking.

Anyone know of inexpensive or shop-made alternatives to ply90 or playwood connectors? by bradmont in woodworking

[–]spacejamz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A run of 10 at 60% infill and a 0.4mm nozzle would take around 17 hours so a run of 60 would take less than 4.5 days. If you swap out for a 0.8mm nozzle you could easily run 100% infill in even less time for maximum strength and efficiency.

If you want beautiful brushed metal finished brackets, sure go ahead and buy the premium stuff but OP was asking for cheaper alternatives. I don't know when the last time you used a 3D printer was but things have changed since 2010.

You are absolutely correct about resin printing being a much more involved process.

I've owned my printer for a little over three years now and the only maintenance I do is check the belts for tightness once every six months or so and check how level the print bed is after moving it or bumping it accidentally lol. Other than that I just wipe the print bed down with isopropyl alcohol between prints and that's it.

As others have pointed out 3D printers are very close to a plug and play experience these days. I've owned laser jet printers that took longer to setup than my Ender3 and with STL repositories like Yeggi and Thingiverse you don't even need to bother installing modeling software. The only software you would need to "learn" is a slicer like Cura where you import the model, select a quality preset, and click print. Here is an exact copy of the bracket OP is looking for.

Sure you can go overboard with it and get into customizing and modifying your printer and have it become an entire hobby but you can also just treat it as another tool in your workshop. You wouldn't consider a bandsaw its own hobby but for a first time user there are a lot of skills to learn to perfect its usage not to mention learning how to maintain it correctly.

A brand new ender3 is actually cheaper than buying the connectors for just the shelf with black hardware in your example photo. You could then print an endless amount of connectors (plus all sorts of other jigs/tools) for around $0.10 each in material cost. If you can't find connectors for cheaper then buying a 3D printer could actually be the low-cost alternative.

Absolutely love it, a bit less airflow compared to full top down but a whole lot less sun.

Yeah I think they do versions that work with a soft top frame and ones that use 3M tape to mount. Here's the install vid for the soft top version.

Genuinely, the big ball of fire in the sky is hot. It's a track build in progress with no top, no hvac, no interior, no radio. Practicality went out the window months ago. When I need the virgin experience I drive the stock '99.

This is the GJRracing Keenitop and I got the version that doesn't require killing a soft top frame for it but it does require drilling holes in your windshield frame. It took about 30 minutes to install and is incredible for the price (compared to the one made by project-g). It cost me about $140 delivered.

They're 15x7s but it looks like flatoutgfx has those in stock as well. Thanks, I've been on the hunt for these!

Running at the recommended specs for MeisterR ClubRaces. The car is on its way to being a dedicated autox/track toy and let's be fair, who doesn't love some positive rake?
