    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT KC Wrenching Society garage condo

    Im getting ready to start cleaning and finishing the center unit, since its rusty and will never be easier to get to. I assuming just elbow grease and grit, wire wheel followed by rust converter, POR-15 and some sort of top coat. Anyone got a better suggestion?

    Just in case y’all think I am completely lame…. I have been using the sauna I constructed in the basement for the last several months. It came out very nice, but it’s hard to get pictures that do it justice. We are still working on the bathroom area, it’s plumbed, wired and sheet-rocked but...

    Outta curiosity, who's using AI actively in the shop?!?

    Nope, I use a paid version of Chad. Don’t get me wrong, it is a very useful tool and I like it, but it’s way early in its developmental cycle and it absolutely cannot be trusted as a stand-alone resource for data. It doesn’t recognize numbers as data per se (like a calculator would) and that’s...

    Sorry that I’ve been away from this thread for a spell…. Yep, I was on Clark’s! I did the whole run from Porschephiles thru Rennlist, starting back in about ‘94 or ‘95 until the Internet Overlords that took over at Rennlist got stupid and decided to take political sides, so I left and have no...

    Just for grins, I asked Chad to comment on my post…. Lol Thanks for clarifying — since these were your responses in a discussion thread, here’s my assessment of their accuracy: Accurate Points AI’s transformative potential: You’re right that AI is already showing value in decision-making...

    Outta curiosity, who's using AI actively in the shop?!?

    “Chad Jeept” is going to have to get better at mathematics pretty soon if that’s the case. I’m running into cases where it has a problem handling some basic algebraic comparisons, and I absolutely do not trust it to handle monetary calculations unless they are very simple. You can ask ChatGPT...

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    I’m printing 99% my own designs, and probably 70% of the stuff goes out in the field on installation projects my company is performing. For the most part, they are brackets, holders and small parts related to IT and structured cabling installs, and while nothing is “structural” or load bearing...

    UV resistance, better rigidity for what we need and general laziness…. We got the ASA dialed in for what we need (primarily construction installation parts and pieces for IT/telecom work and they occasionally get installed in outdoor environments) and just don’t see a need to reinvent the wheel...

    We print almost exclusively ASA these days, we have the settings down and don’t have to mess with anything, so I want to have an enclosure. I may grab a H2 for myself and give him one of my X1Cs. Congrats on the sale, on my next run up 29, I’ll shoot you a message and we can still swap...

    @loganb How much for the P1? I need to get a relatively inexpensive printer to one of my employees and you’re close enough that I can run up and grab it. Plus, I believe we have a mutual friend (initials “RW”) that we could swap stories about…. Lol

    Hey, if Mecum thinks it’s a $25k car, maybe I have a chance! If you want something smaller (so it fits in your garage with more room), reliable and fairly rare, I have a Porsche I’d offer up in trade for your old worthless purple car…. lol Sorry to hear about the continued troubles and...

    I hate to see that Cyclone leave your hands, Randy, but I get it…. I’d love to take that one off your hands but I suspect pricewise, it ain’t gonna happen. Thank you for letting me enjoy the Mercury through your posts.

    Someone taking “a break from social media” is the best sign of a properly sorted individual that I can think of. Enjoy your break, Randy, and we’ll look forward to seeing you back here.

    For anyone wanting a Strap-on logo, dm me and I'll shoot it to you. If I can find a decent public host to use, I'll post it there. Otherwsie, there are plenty of versions out there if you search for them. I found one and made a few tweaks to it, but I can't claim credit for coming up with the...

    Very nice work! Try changing the line height when you slice it, it looks like you used .2 mm height. Make it .12 mm and see if that fixes that corner transition. I am assuming you are using QIDI Print for the slicer, make sure you have the latest version or consider Orcaslicer. I’ve used...

    Finished product... Just in case anyone is wonder, aside from demonstrating my sense of humor (or lack thereof, depending on your perspective), this is a commentary how I feel about a certain company's pricing, not any personal proclivities I may have. I have no problem paying for quality...

    Folks have been saying I should upgrade from Kobalt to some of the “bigger name” tools for years now, so I finally decided to make the jump. This will be going on my toolboxes shortly, but I doubt that they will feel that different…
