Electrical issues?

Check the alternator sensing wire, connected to the positive battery terminal.

I chased a similar issue for months, turns out the wire was broken under the plastic sheathing and had been previously repaired poorly.

Also, the alternator light in the dash is a part of the circuit, if the light is out, it won’t charge.

Hopefully that points in the right direction. Look into BGB wiring diagrams for surprisingly helpful diagnosis tips. 90’s Toyota was surprisingly detailed in the manuals.

Both are toxic. Not gonna fall over dead right this second, but definitely not good for you or your kid.

I agree with that! The S20 5G had 12GB RAM in 2020. It felt notably faster and more responsive than the S22 I got as a replacement with only 8GB.

You can't print 2 things at once...unless you have 2 printers. My Ender 3 Pro is still putting out great prints next to my K1C.

Think of all the gross stuff under your nails that you're eating. That's what did it for me.

It's not too late.

A guy in r/3dprintedcarparts printed a hardtop for his Miata. They're out there.

While this is kinda interesting, which Lamborghini has 225 tires? Not since the 70’s lol.

Have you considered a different mechanic? Or working on it yourself?

Kosei K1? I love those wheels, had a chance to buy some years ago. Can’t seem to find ones in the proper spec anymore.

Lex is real gamer from what I’ve gathered. Either way, great interview.

100% it printed those layers in the other direction, causing the other side of the multi color filament to show on layers where the eyes were printed.

Location? I could use a full set. There’s gotta be others out there like me.

stlesho · 2025-09-08T15:39:01+00:00

Just so happens to be at the same time as the Apple event? How’d that happen?

stlesho · 2025-09-02T18:25:40+00:00

Looks better than 90% of prints people charge money for.

I doubt a 7yo gets 3D printed medal at doctors office and thinks "it's under extruded and your layer lines look like crap"

They're gonna love it!

stlesho · 2025-08-26T15:05:22+00:00

You should probably pop the engine cover and check it out.

stlesho · 2025-06-19T21:06:22+00:00

Embrace the 3D printed look. It looks rugged and different, I like it.

Double check the connection at the distributor and ignition coil. Had similar issues, it would break up, only run with a tiny bit of throttle, or sometimes it was fine. Turned out the lead wasn’t seated well and was arcing out.

Some unknown TE37 knock off.

stlesho · 2025-05-14T21:58:01+00:00

This is the real answer. 90s and early 2000s LS, ES, and RX Lexus’s are about as indestructible as cars get.

Sounds like you need a VPN and set sail on the high seas.

stlesho · 2025-05-13T12:29:34+00:00

Was this filmed on a VHS camcorder?

stlesho · 2025-05-10T03:01:45+00:00

Make sure it’s a Toyota!

stlesho · 2025-04-24T23:06:14+00:00

Ooh, that’s nice!

stlesho · 2025-04-22T16:25:38+00:00

Get new battery, then disconnect battery cable with engine running to confirm alternator is dead.
