    Post a pic that makes you LOL

    Agreed. If you're going to call TOS "Woke", might as well throw in Good Times, The Jeffersons, All in the Family.......just about every mainstream TV show from that era confronted racism and bigotry.

    3D Printing P1P/P1S/Bambu questions

    They either don't get very many in stock, or they should assume a 1:1 sales ratio. I've gotten the "Back in stock" email twice in the last 3 weeks, only to click on it and find them OOS again. Printing one today.

    3D Printing P1P/P1S/Bambu questions

    I've been running this new machine pretty much 24/7 since it arrived this week. Extra filament spool pieces, small riser clips, desiccant boxes for the AMS, multi color toys for my kids, etc. Mine came with the textured PEI plate, and I've run several different types of PLA and PETG on...

    Rocketman Parachutes Black Friday Order still not received yet...

    Well, I guess that rules out all the '.....must be some family crisis' concerns! He looks really healthy and mobile to me! This is a LOT like Curtis telling folks for weeks that he was working 16 hour days 6 days a week to make and ship product......all while posting on his personal FB account...

    3D Printing What did you 3D Print Today?

    Ender 3 pro with Sonic pad, dual Z screws, and a whole host of the other 'normal upgrades'. I was able to max mine out at 120mm/sec profiles with acceptable quality, but I slow it down to 100mm/sec profiles for most thing as the quality and reliability rises to slightly better than the old...

    3D Printing What did you 3D Print Today?

    Just got my new Bambu P1S with AMS delivered last night. Only had time last night to get it all set up and the various calibrations run and printed a Benchy. Dang this thing is FAST!

    EMatch Failure To Ignite

    I mostly use a Fluke 77 I bought new more than 15 years ago, but even my $3 Harbor Freight throw away special that is in my range box gives the same results as far as ohms checking ematches. Never had either meter set one off.

    Fiberglass Fillets

    Some pretty good videos on YouTube. That said, I vary between West Epoxy with filler and 4500. Both work very well and produce smooth, shiny fillets with a single pass.

    Facebook/Meta Screws Me Again...

    This. 100% this. Same here and same results. Digital toxic cesspool echo chamber.

    3D Printing P1P/P1S/Bambu questions

    After more than a year dithering on my next step printer from a fully tricked out Ender 3 Pro, I went with the Sonic pad and embraced Klipper. Doubled the speed (from 50mm/sec profiles to 100mm/sec profiles)......but that's like putting new gen tires on a Model T.....there are simply underlying...

    NAR Level 2 Certification. Rocket recommendations

    Something that you will be happy and comfortable flying on L2 motors often at YOUR field. That said, 54mm motormount and 4 inch diameter with fins that make you happy. Build it light and strong, fly it often and it will teach you most everything you need to know, as well as give you confidence...

    3D Printing Scarf seams for 3D printing in development

    If you've ever worked with wood, you probably know what a scarf joint is and why you would want to use it. If you're reading this, you probably have experienced yucky standard seams in your 3D prints. Looks like folks are working on a development for Orca slicer (which, if it works with...

    Rocketman Parachutes Black Friday Order still not received yet...

    Check with some of the guys on this thread to see if they've used some different sort of contact than you. Some have been successful at finally getting their stuff. https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/rocketman-enterprises.172739/ Good luck, looks like Rocketman is off the rails.

    Opinions Sought: Mylar film or Peel Ply for glassing tubes

    Yup, that's it in a nutshell. Pic and description looks like every tube I've done since switching to peel ply, and I'm much happier over using mylar.

    Thoughts and Comments on Current Russian,Ukrainian Conflict/War

    Z seems rather upset that his closest neighbors have only delivered 30% of what they've promised: https://www.euractiv.com/section/europe-s-east/news/ukraine-says-only-30-of-promised-eu-artillery-shells-received/

    3D Printing What did you 3D Print Today?

    I take it as we're all slow (and thus sloth like) in doing necessary maintenance chores, especially the messy ones and those that seem to have marginal individual benefit.
