I believe this is the thread you are looking for (I bookmarked the thread last time it came up, looking to do this myself someday) https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/making-the-battery-makita-wont.536067/

The X2D is here - https://bambulab.com/en-us/x2d $649 for the base unit, $899 for AMS2 combo

Depends - do they make a tartan PLA? :LOL: (CMU Class of '09 here)

lol glad to be of service. I was also wanting to avoid installing an electrical outlet 5 feet up in the middle of a wall. Originally I was trying to think of a code compliant way to run 5V from a usb adapter up to the mounting point, looking at low voltage thermostat wire and usb ports with...

This is a project that got way out of hand. Came across https://weatherstar.netbymatt.com/ a few months ago, thought it would be cool to have that streaming to an old tube TV. A few weeks ago, I then fell down a raspberry pi rabbit hole and ended spending too much money and time making this...

Resurrecting this thread - scored one of these off of Facebook marketplace today. Shallow drawers are on friction slides with fixed dividers, and the larger drawer is on roller bearing slides with adjustable dividers. This will likely end up somewhere in my house for some storage as opposed...

QD fittings in PETG for my garage exhaust system Left is welding fume extraction, right is fiber laser exhaust Also got a more permanent home for the P1S after it sat under my workbench for a few months. These toolboxes are on sale this month at Lowes for $250, casters are a little...

Stanley Black and Decker owns and fabricates the Lista brand in the US, as far as I know they are no longer affiliated with Lista AG in Europe (which is the color page you linked to). You'll most likely want to contact SBD directly for the specific color codes...

This Craftsman box is currently close to 40% off through the end of the month https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-37-In-Workstation/5016397203 I got one today as a home for my 3D printers. Was looking for a shallower box around 3 feet wide and this one fit the bill (it's 18" deep). Definitely...

Followup post: finalized die design for a production run of Christmas gifts. This is a spoon rest made with a combination of the 3D printed dies and standard press brake tooling. Material is 16 ga 304 stainless steel. Top punch is ABS because that's all I had on hand when I started the print...

I used aluminum t-slot extrusions to make my workbench earlier this year. I found tnutz.com to have the best pricing on extrusion and fittings. Still expensive, but I'm very happy with the result. Due to the reconfigurable nature of 80/20, a couple months after I built this, I added a stowable...

Experimenting with 3D printed press brake tooling. Works surprisingly well. PLA, 20 walls, 50% infill. The test piece is 16 ga steel. I've got a short video of the action on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSOP5SLAZqu/?img_index=1

How the Fireball Hardtail vise is made: Looks like the made in USA version of the vise is still coming. Seeing as it currently takes them a whole day to machine one dynamic jaw casting, no wonder it has taken so long. I don't want to be too critical but it definitely seems like there is lots...

Needed a little sheet and plate storage rack for my new baby fiber laser. Whipped this up from some 14 ga 1" square tubing. This job has me jonesing for a fixture table.
