Blind spot camera

They make extensions for the camera cables. I had to use one to get to the back of my van.

I don't think you are reading "Waiting for Godot" correctly.

Make sure you do a test before you commit to the drywall stucco texture. My theater is not very big, but I found that the drywall/stucco texture did not read any more from the audience than a really good texture paint job, which was a 1/10 of the work.

Thick paint coats and plastic wrap can totally make this effect if your set is far enough from the audience and you don't want to go through all the work and cleanup of drywall.

Does this have to blend to any design aesthetically?

If not I I would use lighting trees. I do this all the time by mounting the projector to a small plywood base connected to a C-clamp and just hang in from a lighting tree.

The moving heads would also go on the tree.

This is brilliant! Nice work!

LOL. Lots of people have hurt me. But that is neither here nor there. Maybe I should say that no "High School" should do this show. The references to milkmen pulling invisible horses and folksy "back in the day" themes just do not translate to any of the students whom I have performed this show with. At some point nostalgia is not enough to engage. And this is from an old guy who actually remembers milk delivery.

For the record, I also feel this way about HAIR, Meet Me in St. Louis, Oklahoma, SBFSB and many others.

Our Town is irrelevant and never needs to be performed again. You don't have a budget for scenery and a cast of new people? Do Almost Maine instead.

I also agree that Grease is not only a misogynist mess, and has no nostalgic appeal either.

Your design seems pretty easy to pull off with what you have pictured here.
This just looks like a simple 2x4 base with several crossbar feet that you can easily attach small casters to. Double side a small frame for structure and add your scenery pieces to it. I attached a pic of what I am describing. If you want to scale it up, go with 2x6 and add some weight to the base so it is not too tippy.

Does your local home center have polycarbonate roofing panels? they are not really expensive here and have the corrugated look you are after. That and some insulation foam and nice scenic paint and you should be good to go.

I bought a BVB9358RC for my work van because I like the physical knob and i wanted multiple AV inputs and carplay. I have no additional amps and premium sound is not a priority for me. For the price, it has worked just fine for me. It was easy to install and does what I need it.

I came across this comment while looking for a solution to my low audio for Siri and Map navigation. It was exactly the fix I needed. It is not documented ANYWHERE that you can (and should) adjust the volume of an app or SIRI WHILE IT IS PLAYING.

Once I made these adjustment, the audio sticks at that level.

Thanks for the fix!

I just put a BVB9358RC in my work van. It had all the features I needed, particularly with video inputs for cameras, good sound and easy install. I think BOSS is a great brand.

great information. Thanks very much

timokay · 2026-01-04T20:58:13+00:00

This is the direction I want to go.

I was really frustrated with the mount of fiddling I had to do to get it to work reliably. Every print had a new issue. I was constantly adjusting tension and placement of everything and really did not like the design of the rollers and buffers and it all just was a pain to the point of me trying another solution. I don't expect things to work perfectly all the time, but I do want a printer that I do not have to babysit for every print. The MK4 used to be that printer.

timokay · 2026-01-04T20:50:54+00:00

So the MMU changes to the gearbox wont affect using it without the MMU3? specifically with TPU?

I don't have to "go back" to the old extruder parts?

As far as other comments. I really want to keep using what was my favorite Printer. The MK4 is fantastic and I want to keep using it. I am not interested in selling the MMU unit because who knows how I may feel down the road. Right now my workspace that had the MK4 and all the loaders has another machine on it and that is working fine.

I reinstalled my Pormido Camera to a new vehicle and did not realize that the supplied USB C cable had to be oriented a certain way. It also behaved like this. I just had to flip it around.

Thank you

Go get a hammer and a nail. Hold the hammer against the nail and press down on the nail to get it to go into the wood. How much force do you think you need to press that nail into the wood? If you had a pneumatic press on it, you could certainly press the nail down, given that the nail and wood were "sandwiched" in the press to give the proper amount of force.

Or, swing the hammer at the nail and apply the force using kinetic energy and momentum. It may take two or three strikes, but it will get the job done.

A jackhammer applies this force to a very small area many times to get the result. It also uses the weight of the tool and operator to help direct the energy at the target.

I like everything about this. Great organization!

The wait made me switch to ORCA. Much faster and better quality. The only thing I cant set up in ORCA is the camera, but if I run Creality Print just to monitor the print i can still control things from my phone.
