Did you pressure test for 24 hours before the leak?

If you want a single building that is both shop and storage, it will never be big enough. The storage use will always expand to encroach on the shop. IMO, have a a storage building and a separate shop where the rule is only projects being worked on are in the shop.

For me it was the new garage. I spent 40 years of “making do “ in the 30x18 that I had expanded to 30 x 30 in my first year of ownership, but still had a cracked and shifted floor in the original section where you couldn’t roll a creeper without getting stuck and a ceiling too low for a lift. I...

When I bought my machine, it was cheaper to buy the printer with the AMS than to purchase the AMS separately. When printing with PETG, I like to use PLA as the support interface layer to provide a clean breakaway. The other advantage of the AMS is the ability to load a second spool of the...

I won’t even consider printing with PETG before giving it a sauna in my filament dryer. I decided that after seeing that Bambu recommends drying PETG before use. And I use mostly Sunlu.

I’ll send you a PM.

Doesn’t matter. He’s in the southern part of the state, I’m up by the Mass border. 1-1/2 hrs is too long of a drive for a common building material.

As others have said, check with a local lumber yard. Bought my metal panels from one in our small town.

@Old tool guy I just tested this. What worked for me after downloading the model you showed was to make sure I had the object selected, like you had it, then I just selected the Text tool at the top, input the text I wanted, then use the handles to rotate and the yellow square in the middle of...

The one thing I see missing from all of your posts here is the length of time the air is being used for. Thermal mass in the system is indeed useful for short duration uses. Use the air for a long enough period of time, and you will use up the thermal mass by heating the entire system. I learned...

Got my 4 post lift back in early 2021, and used a tv fed by an analog camera (equipment left over from different sources) as an aid to centering vehicles on the lift. It worked, but I had to remember to turn the tv on, and, even worse, the camera didn’t have a “mirror” setting, so I had to think...

Six years in, I’ve had great results from my Mr Cool Universal in my 1200 sq ft shop, primarily heating through the winter season and what little air conditioning is needed in the summer. If you search on my user name for my posts on the subject you’ll see I’ve posted ad nauseum, but provided...

Think of the runways of your lift as being the ground. When you raise the car on the lift, it is like going under ground level. Put the car on the lift. Then, using bridge jacks, jack trays, or other, raise the car off the runways, and use blocking to support the car high enough above the...

OP was last seen here in October of last year. He may have decided something by now.
