    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    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...

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    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...

    Just bought some old Luxor metal tool cabinets..

    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...

    Scored 2 Lista Cabinets, Questions About Restoration

    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...

    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...

    80/20 Home Office Desk

    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

    Fireball Tool Hardtail Vise - The Best Vise On The Market???

    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...

    Anyone running a 3-8kw CNC laser? My journey into sheet metal fab

    I have a baby 1.2 kW fiber laser (XTool MetalFab) so can't offer too much advice, but I would definitely go with an enclosed machine. From the one Laser cutter facebook group I'm in, Bodor seems to be the brand to avoid. What are you planning for compressed gas? I still need to get an 02...

    xTool MetalFab Laser welder & cutter?

    The facebook marketplace gods have smiled upon me. Bought this from a couple who purchased it for their sign making business but didn't have room for it as their new garage shop (that was supposed to be built this summer) is still incomplete. They valued the floor space this occupied more than...
