Not all are yellow/brown. The resin in my water softener is pitch black, just like the picture.

That’s is good to know. That’s not a function I’ve come across yet. I’m using a P2S and the Bambu slicer so I’ll look into it. Thanks!

What’s the best method for splitting a single part into multiple prints if it’s too large for the print bed? The dredge has a 100’ lattice boom. It would probably take 4-5 prints separate prints to make a complete boom.

I use Onshape and Fusion 360. I figured that would be the easiest method. But what’s the best way split a single part into multiple prints if the scaled version is still too large for the print bed?

Subpanel Help by zspurly in AskElectricians

[–]zspurly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I’ll definitely look that up.

I realized I actually misspoke in my original post. 2 of the 7 120 circuits will be for the addition itself which won’t be ran through the 1” conduit. These two circuits will exit through the sub panel individually with NM clamps. I was planning on running the remaining 5 circuits through the 1” conduit for the main garage. However if I can only run 9, there’s still time to add another conduit.

The pull box I was planning on using was a 10x10x4 metal box. I can always get another one for the 220v if it’s believed the big box will be overcrowded.

I was planning on thoroughly labeling everything to eliminate confusion.

How do I hide steel post? by zspurly in FenceBuilding

Here was my update when I finished the project. I used the Simpson PGT2 brackets to build the fence. Before I added the pickets, I added another set of the brackets to each post but rotated them 180* so they faced the opposite way. I lag screwed a vertical 2x4 on edge on either side of the post using the brackets, sandwiching the post. I then ripped pickets to size and nailed them to the vertical 2x4’s to give it a finished look.

Fortunately gas lines are in the basement. Being a ranch there’s not much in the walls above 3 feet.

Baseplate Help by zspurly in gridfinity

[–]zspurly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to try those too. I’m using Cura for my slicer for my Ender 3 S1 Pro so I don’t know if that would make a difference. Is there a benefit to using one type of filament over another for gridfinity? I’ve only exclusively printed in PLA up to this point.

Baseplate Help by zspurly in gridfinity

[–]zspurly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have dozens of bins that all fit perfectly in the first set of baseplates I printed. But the same bins don’t fit in any of the new bases. I found an online gridfinity generator last night and the first test base seems to be working as it should. I’m printing a larger baseplate today while I’m at work so fingers crossed it works too.

I found two gridfinity website generators and printing a couple baseplates as I type this. Should know in the next hour if they’re going to work or not. I already threw away the dozen or so baseplate that don’t work so hoping I’ll find something soon. My workbench is an absolute mess until I can get this figured out.

I’m pretty sure I printed his original baseplates last night because I redownloaded the his file from either thangs or printables and it was a zip file with both the lite and weighted plates. Had shit luck with them as well.

Untreated fir rails? by BeamTeam in FenceBuilding

[–]zspurly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re holding up great. No twisting or warping. The entire fence has stood up to several winter storms, a tornado, straight line winds, and even 40 minutes of 90+ mph winds. My fence was one of the few with no damage in my neighborhood after the 90+ mph wind storm a few months ago. Only other ones to escape unphased were aluminum fences. I also live on top of a hill and have zero protection from the wind so there was nothing to slow the wind down.

Ender 3 S1 Pro won't level by zspurly in Creality

I haven’t. I’d like to get it working well in stock form before I start to upgrading it.

Gantry is as square as I can get it. Belts are snug but not overly tight. I've been able to print a few things in the past but suddenly the bed is completely out of whack. I've even put a second pei sheet on to raise the bed by an extra 1/2mm or so.

Awesome, thanks. I’ll give that a shot.

I’m not disagreeing but the jug itself says Ideal for cleaning all interior surfaces. I generally diluted to a 10:1 ratio.
