The company I work for is all about American made, by American hands and tools. Long story short, my company vehicle was stolen a while back with my set of Proto insulated tools. I've already replaced the pliers and strippers and other odds and ends but I have not replaced the screwdrivers...

I use SketchUp, tinkercad, blender, and solid works. I highly suggest SketchUp the new web version is fantastic for being free. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I have both a Prusa and a CR10. Along with an Anet A8 and an Ender 3. While Prusa makes a fine printer they are somewhat pricey per 3^mm. A creality printer will serve you well and get you fantastic bang for the buck. Personally I have two printers with ABL and am starting to dislike it. My...

Your really looking for an argument I have more important **** to do than remember to adjust my thermostat when I'm headed home from the airport. This device does it for me. Sorry your afraid of technology making your life easier. Arguing against spending another 20 bucks on a thermostat makes...

You can set the radius from really small 200ish feet up to a few miles. The fact you put geofencing in quotes displays you know nothing about the current smart thermostats. If you don't have working knowledge of the current products why would you even open your mouth to show off your ignorance...

I'll never cease to be amazed at how wide of a brush some of us at GJ cast. My schedule and location in the country changes by the day and so does my spouse's. The geofencing on our lyric has drastically reduced our electric and gas bills because of the random times we are or are not there. It...

We used the cheapest tplink switches I could get from Amazon and box of bulk cat5e that had been sitting in an industrial maintenance shop for who how long. Had we used cat6 or cat7 shielded cable the degradation would have been minimal. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

The 100m rule is really just a guideline. Back in the dsl days (5 years ago in rural OK) I ran Ethernet from my brothers house to mine and it measured out at 450ish feet. There was packet loss but speed wasn't tremendously effected. I think we measured 5mb speeds at his house and 4.5ish at...

Sounds similar to headphones wire. Take a lighter to the strands there could be Cooper woven into the fibers, the copper wont burn off like the cotton. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Pm me your address, I'll get this one fully wired and assembled and send to you. Just let me know where it could be improved. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I don't think there's a bunch of money in it, but if it helps out another GJ member and gives me an excuse to buy another printer why not Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Made a quick prototype of the Ryobi adapter. I don't have any Ryobi tools to test it on. Who needs one that would be willing to give me very descriptive feedback on how to tweak it if it doesn't fit proper? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I had one (when I was working as a gen tech no less...) It was on par with my fluke VT02 visual thermometer. I ended up upgraded to a better fluke camera but if your just looking for dead cylinders, bad diodes and hot spots on stators it'll do a fine job I think.

I'm going to start printing the above looked thingiverse file this evening. We will see how it comes out. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

If someone could provide measurements I could easily 3d print these. They definitely shouldn't cost $50+ bucks that's crazy Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
