Some is the key word here.
- Comment on car producers 4 weeks ago:
After having owned a few if these brands I decided I’d only own some Japanese, German or Korean cars. Never Italian or French. They are great the first 5 years or so, but age like milk. Owned an Opel and it was pretty good, but I guess it’s now off the list. Stellantis is the collection of the worlds least reliable cars.
I drive a 26 year old Skoda (VAG group) which has had not a single major repair, except for timing belts, a clutch, and other consumables.

- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 1 month ago:
Dry and then store in sealed container with silica gel. Silica will maintain dryness, but will not dry filament by itself.
Also, containers must have a seal of some kind. Regular plastic tubs will let some moisture in. For a few days or a couple of weeks that’ll be fine, but over a month they’ll let moisture in. Get vacuum bags.
There are pretty cheap reusable vacuum bags that use a little pump. I use a cheap kitchen vacuum machine, and regular food storage vacuum bags.

I live in a dry climate. Trust me, dry your PETG.
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 1 month ago:
Get Rapid PETG. Regular PETG. I’ve printed a few rolls of regular PETG, and it can be a source of frustration. Same with PLA. Get a PLA +.
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 1 month ago:
I live in a dry climate, and thought drying PETG was unnecessary. After a lot of frustration, I made a (very good) redneck dryer, and my printing life became much better. PETG really likes water, and printing humid PETG is a source of major frustration.

Shit. I used Baileys. Is that bad?

Also, metal needles or equivalent can raise contacts and do their damage. I cut the toothpicks with a cutter so that they are wedge shaped.

They also slowly evaporate while in your pocket, irritating the thigh.
They are pretty much the best at sea, though.

Your diet being mainly refined carbs is not exactly good for being fit.

- Comment on Dual shaft (or through shaft) motors in series? 2 months ago:
I’m thinking torque rather than speed. I have converted an Ender 5 Plus to Hybrid core Y, with the Endorphin mod and I’m mulling adding an extra stepper on the X, and increasing power on the Y, either with a larger Y dual shaft or adding an extra stepper on the Y in series.

- Comment on good results so far with Elegoo Rapid PETG 2 months ago:
I really like elegoo rpetg. It really likes moisture, though. Not a problem for me with my redneck dryer, though.
I’ll be making a video with my setup soon.
I had a bunch of rolls of plain petg, and dumped them on a second hand market. Never looking back.
Also, Sunlu PLA+ 2.0. Great PLA.
I want to try Polymaker HT-PLA-GF. High temp resistance (150°C) right off the printer, more if annealed, and glass fiber. Should be a great replacement for many engineering filaments, but printable on vanilla printers without enclosure/filters.
- Comment on Ender 3 v3 se y axis bearings loose in carrier. 2 months ago:
Epoxy can be a bit of a crap shoot with plastics. It works wonderfully for some, a not at all for others. I have worked a lot with epoxy and plastics are always a “try somewhere else in the part” thing. Also, if there is grease on the part" forget it. Even with epoxy especially formulated for plastics.
If all you want is to use the epoxy as a filler, it may work.

I use Xpenology on an HP Gen 8 microswrver, a pretty nifty piece of kit. Works great, but setting up and upgrading versions can be a rather involved process.
- Comment on How to Get Hardware Transcoding BACK on Your Synology NAS 2 months ago:
Gamer desktops tend to be power hogs. Running them 24/7 can rack up some hefty power bills, plus noise, plus space, plus other tradeoffs.
Better a used thin client.

If you have a 3d printer, or access, o know someone willing to print for you, there are many free models out there
- Comment on How to Get Hardware Transcoding BACK on Your Synology NAS 2 months ago:
Definitely an option, but for the price of a Pi with all the extras, case, power supply, etc, you can get a used thin client that is way more capable.
There is a guy on YouTube that often reviews these things, and discovers some models that are surprisingly capable.
- Comment on How to Get Hardware Transcoding BACK on Your Synology NAS 2 months ago:
Synology publishes a list of certified non-synology drives, and warns you that drives outside the list are not recommended, but, at least in non enterprise models, allows them to be used. I believe there is some rather easy way (some config file change or the like) to circumvent the limitation, but yeah, dick move.
