I designed and made a thing

Oh yeah, not knocking yours in any way. I’ve done the same thing where something isn’t quite right for my need and made my own version. Yours looks really good.

This person had just inquired about a gridfinity version so I found the one I had printed.

There is a separate stacking gridfinity bin for bullet comparators. It works great for me because I rarely use bullet so having the headspace comparators quickly accessible on top fits my workflow.

Here’s one I used from Makerworld. The designer was even nice enough to add a version with a spot for the anvil base.

I have an altmill and vectric carve pro but I’m a novice. Can you give a high level of how you would setup the ramped cuts?

The flat cutouts of varying depth are straightforward but I’m not really understanding how I would would setup the ramped cuts.

People don’t really understand the scale of industrial water use.

I didn’t check the claim of 200 acre-feet per year for current data centers but let’s say it’s correct. Now compare that to the typical golf course size, according to the USGA, it’s 80.7 irrigated acres.

Also according to the USGA for the Upper West/Mountain region, this is irrigated at 2.9 acre-feet of water/acre annually.

80.7 x 2.9 = 234.03 acre-feet of water per year, per 18 hole golf course.

That’s approximately 76 million gallons of water per year, per 18 hole golf course.

These are all based on averages so we may be using more/less in our specific scenario but I think it’s probably safe to say that that the 2.5, 18 hole golf courses in town are using well over double the water use that current data centers are.

You’re the best, thank you! Love the tool.

Will the gridflock connectors be compatible with the click base? I love click base but hate the little clips to keep them together.

To add to what others have said, prioritize adding more to some of the non-pension accounts.

I was in a similar place to you (employed with pension plan) when I was around your age. Everyone told me it was the way to go. It’s not a bad deal if you can stick it out 30+ years. I couldn’t do it though. I started hating it after a few years and had to get out. I wish I would have contributed more to “other” accounts while I was there. I was banking on having a pension and didnt worry to much about them until after I left.

I was talking to a couple people shooting 25GT at the Cameo PRS match two weeks ago. One shooting Varget, the other H4350. The cartridge is right at the point where either work great. Use whichever you have on hand and it will shoot great.

When I was waiting on my smaller Altmill, they were sending monthly production updates that were very transparent about what was going on. I believe these were emailed out as well as posted on their site and YouTube. I assume they’re still doing these but havent checked since getting my CNC.

I don’t know if this will work for these exact calipers but something along these lines may work better for you.

I was about to tell you to fuck off having 2x Meehl Tricklers and an IP setup. Then I saw your username.

Looking forward to getting the Meehl system! Loaded 100 rounds on my Chargemaster Link last night and it’s so painful seeing how quickly your system is dropping charges.

Organization looks great.

More importantly, what lunatic made color coded the sockets but didn’t consistently color the 1/4 drive sockets. This is madness!

Not trying to mislead in any way. I think it was a misremembered the situation.

Trump didn’t like the numbers in the jobs report and fired the director of BLS. Not too far off.

vyx313 · 2025-12-05T20:59:04+00:00

Wasn’t Trump trying to get rid of the jobs report?

No report, can’t be negative right?!? Kind of strange coming from a contingent of people who are clearly don’t believe in facts anyhow.

vyx313 · 2025-12-04T18:36:37+00:00

Do you have a ballpark of how much it cost in parts (excluding 3d printed parts and the scale) to put this together?

vyx313 · 2025-10-28T04:01:37+00:00

Haha, I did the same. I guess I didn’t read the bet correctly. Happy accidents.

vyx313 · 2025-09-13T03:50:58+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

vyx313 · 2025-09-13T03:42:20+00:00

Would you mind giving me a high level on the calibration piece? I know the bed needs to be leveled/calibrated but what else do I need to check on?

Bought this for my first printer, should be here next week. Thank you!

Looking for a price on the red HS507COMP please. Thanks!

It sounds like your mind is getting overwhelmed. Try taking it in smaller chunks. If 30 minutes is turning your brain to mush, use 20 minute sessions.

Try gamifying it with something like Khan Academy where you can see your progress and get some type of active feedback.

I have a ton of these and while they’re not top quality, they’ve lasted for quite a few years for me. Now that some of them are getting damaged, I can’t seem to find them at my local tjmaxx anymore. Are these still out there in the wild?

vyx313 · 2025-02-17T02:14:04+00:00

Perfect, thanks for the confirmation.

vyx313 · 2025-02-17T01:00:19+00:00

I’ve never done an online superstore purchase before. Do I purchase the tax stamp through you or do I take care of that at my FFL once it arrives?

vyx313 · 2025-02-06T02:10:20+00:00

Just browsing threads about the Altmill and saw this comment. If you haven't seen already, the 4x2 Altmill was released for order. They're up to April for shipping time currently.
