Re: "Offtopic-posts-topic" NSFW

After 4 months of tedious work, I got my bikes engine rebuild and running. Old crack in the crankcase was welded shut and all seemed to be working smoothly. After 200kms of happiness and wheelies, the weld broke and dunk all the oils to my boot. So in a need of a replacement. Well, managed to find a...

Re: BQ prusa i3 3D printer

Slic3r looks stable now, 5 months ago it was going through seriously bug fixing, but eventually came out on top again with a very well designed 3D printed support algorithm that allowed lightweight, low density break-away support for overhangs exceeding 1:1. And I was wondering why my support were ...

Re: Knife Thread

Quick, dirty and handy. That's the way I like it... :D Well, maybe not but it represents the latest knife project I have been working on. Wyz came to me asking for a small but handy knife, so I started working on it. Blade is 1080 carbon steel and the handle is teakwood. Modeled after what I see as ...

Re: Da Vinci 3D Printer

Haven't heard about that printer before, but from my experience with my Solidoodle i must say that ready out of the box printer within this price range seems impossible. Also the print quality out of the box is usually pretty bad. My solidoodle took almost 2 weeks adjusting and trial and error to ge...
