I have a lot of those Bessey clamps and really like them, good to see you spent a little extra for a quality item :-) It looks like you are wet wiping the squeeze out though. I used to do the same thing and was frustrated with the mess that creates as it just spreads diluted glue over a larger...

I'm glad it is all working again! When printing cylindrical objects like bench dogs I like to set "Z Seam Alignment" to 'random' in Cura to eliminate the vertical seam on the part. It makes the surface a little less clean looking as each layer starts in a different place, but I think creates a...

The only thing extractors extract, is money from your wallet. It ***** that the only effective ways require big boy tools, tig welding a nut, high heat from an Oxy/Acetylene torch, or precision milling it out. The only hand tool method that ever seems to have a chance is using a punch to hammer...

The stress you must be experiencing is unfathomable... as must be the sense of loss for all the mental and physical investments (past and future plans) that you made that will never come to fruition. I'm heartbroken for you. Short term, a large shop with a hipster mini-house style living space...

A quick single take shot of the display showing the fan at 100%, then the fan not moving (a feather or small string in front of the vent), then the fan plugged into the motherboard, then unplug it and attempt to show the fan pin. You'll be the next Kubrick. You will have to prop it up awkwardly...

Having the precision spaced holes on the rail is 95% of the battle. Modifying a Makita or other compatible sled and making the little bottom mounted offset blocks and front offset spacers should be easy. I even have some models you might want to try. My biggest rail is only 190cm, I'd love a...

Yes, I can vouch for Japanese artisanal craftsmanship. I try to document good examples of it when I can, when they decide to take something seriously, they can really focus to a fanatical degree. The downside is that dabblers and jacks of all trades are uncommon, so tools and specialized...

Oh, damn, sorry I should have looked more carefully at the pin pitch. It is really hard to get a sense of scale from the pictures. The connector used is the JST-XH 2.5mm pitch, so the one you linked is also incorrect. I saw several premade sets of the JST-XH on Amazon, I agree that splicing...

His v4.2.2 board is already 32bit (STM32) and it should have Trinamic 2208 silent drivers as well, so Marlin 2.x and quiet printing should already be covered. If the board ever dies, I'd go with a 3rd party replacement rather than using a Creality board, but I don't see any reason to trash-can...

I'm not sure if all the things you did were really "required" or due to us not being able to identify the seriously odd issue you've found. I'll admit that I didn't expect you to have this much trouble, but we did say there would be some hand holding to get this running at 100% But hopefully...

As we keep saying, if you want no-fuss turnkey 3D printing, the Prusa i3 is the way to go. You are judging the practicality of automobiles based on user experiences with a Chinese kit car. Most of us went in knowing what we were going to have to do, and willing to trade time for saving money...

That sounds like an edge case, and less to do with Sushi than it does with any exclusive restaurant. Anyone who orders off of a menu with no prices and then complains about the bill is not going to get a lot of sympathy from me. But my advice to you is that you can't live your life based on fear...

I've used Synology NAS units for over a decade and really like them. I'm an enterprise server/storage guy, but I'm not stupid enough to want to do my day job supporting my home stuff, I want things to 'just work.' Synology does everything I could ever ask for, and via an incredibly responsive...

I've never been a big fan of gold colored stuff. The interesting point KTC made about why they are using that finish is that unlike silver colored tools, the gold ones are far less likely to blend in with the vehicles engine components and be inadvertently left behind. Having benefited from more...

It is most certainly limited to professionals. I'm the ultimate amateur over here, and even I didn't spend my own money on the plain model 🤑 Like many things, these Nepros tools are more expensive (through normal channels) here than they are overseas, and the limited editions of this tool are up...

A Linux box, one would hope :cool:

I've mentioned Japan's novel furusato "Hometown Tax" redirection system before, this year in addition to my large quantities of Kirishima Shochu I got this KTC Nepros ratchet. When I started building up my toolset I wanted to kind of stick with one brand of domestic tools, and although there...

Well, no parts cooling would certainly be an issue. Your isolation seems correct, the fan would appear to be bad... it would explain a lot. I use all updated fans on my machine (I guess that's not going to be a surprise...) I replaced the stock part cooling fan with a larger SanAce (Sanyo...

That's a bit more debris than I would expect, but you may have had slipping issues during calibration or some print failure. Make sure that your tension is cranked up, you really want to avoid slipping. Yeah, I ended up drilling out the coupler and putting a small inner chamfer on the entrance...

That tool holder looks spiffy! Those prints look good, but you may see the issues return since I'm not confident the root cause was ever identified. :dunno: I use a customized version of the Hero-me fan shroud with a single 24v 5015 style blower. I never use more than 30% and my understanding...
