Hi Yes. Tried a number of times but even on the slowest speed and the thinnest nozzle and a 0.1 layer, it's not accurate enough on m3 and m4 sizes. It's a lot easier to print a slightly undersized hole and then put a tap through it. I can print m6 and higher holes, as well as bolts but the...

Its mainly for 3D printed stuff for telescope usage. Ordered a set from Myfords. Thanks for the information, Appreciate it. Rob

have ordered some stuff from Myfords. many thanks rob

Rats, missed that, thanks Rob

Hi, I'm just returning a Silverline tap and die set to Amazon. All I wanted to do is put an 3 x M4 thread into plastic. The Silverline M4 crossbar and thread set couldn't even stay together long enough for one thread. It fell apart in my hands. Junk, so its going back. I do need a decent, but...

I built my own CNC machine using the plans from V1 Engineering. You can follow my trials and tribulations here. (New build in Clapham, North Yorkshire, UK) I brought a 3D printer to do this and use the 3D printer all the time. The CNC machine is now built and I'm spending all my free time...

What exactly are you going to research? How are you going to find and validate the information? And then how do you work out what's good or bad? Do you have an inside line to AZ or Moderna? I'm sure there's enough skills on this website to check things like stats or the tiny little things that...

You’re very lucky. I personally know six people who have had it. I also live in a very rural area of North Yorkshire. One was in intensive care in Guys early on, the two people either side of him died. My cousin died of it around five weeks ago. She was 62. Other people have reported little...

A static IP address is one that doesn't change each time you connect to the Internet. In the old days, using dial up modem, each time you connected to the Internet you may (or may not) have different IP address associated wiith your connection. As most people only made connections out of their...

Didn't Zen win a number of awards for customer service in the last few years? I recall they normally do very well (Awards | Zen). Whilst they may be small in comparison to TalkTalk or BT or Sky, they're not unknown at all. I can only state my personal experience of using them from 2002 until...

I always recommend Zen internet from Rochdale. All their staff are from the area, they know their stuff and they don't follow a script. I used to run a Smoothwall firewall over a Powerline ethernet adaptor using PPPoE, they were very interested in how it worked as they had other customers...

I accidently had Amazon prime on my business account. I rang up and said I didn't want it, they said fine and cancelled it and refunded my money. I have also had other Amazon stuff auto renewed my mistake and they always cancelled immediately with zero fuss. I wroye a poor review of the Amazon...

Sacred cows in science? Mmmm, I have worked in research (formal methods in computer science, mathematically proving programs will work exactly as designed as opposed to probably might work, some of the time, more or less as planned, kind of useful for things like life support systems and nuclear...

Picture 11 isn't a kick-start, it's a gear change lever. You couldn't get a boot on it with any leverage. The general shape and finish makes it older rather then newer, but I couldn't put a make to it. Rob

@pcb1962 Yes I was aware it builds a mesh of points and their depths up and down relative to a plane. I realise it will compensate for undulations and not just for a simple dip or elevation in one place. I spent a long time trying to debug the Marlin code to fix the issue with my Bltouch. I'd...

Some people have reported immediate success with BLtouch. Mine was a real one, the version is somewhat vague which I suspect is the problem, I can level my bed just as fast as auto bed levelling so I don't care any more. The Bltouch is sitting the shelf.

I was the go to IT guy as well, I now tell people I'm an accountant and oddly enough, they never come back. I tried with my family but that failed miserably.

The F360 stuff just comes along. I struggled to draw a simple square and extrude it to a cube. You just keep trying. F360 has a lot of capabilities but sometimes there are quirks like cutting, copying and pasting. I just keep looking things up and working through it. The dust show system is on...

I have an Ender 3 Pro, the main difference between the Pro and the non-pro is the use of a magnetic bed and a magnetic sheet that goes over it. The sheet provides good adhesion and so I have never used any of the tips and tricks with tape and hair spray. There are different magentic covers that...

All good advice here, though nobody seems to have mentioned the frame and rust. Many old LR's have a massive rust problem on the frame if it's not been treated and ignored. If you are looking for an old 'proper' LR, then you should take along an expert who knows about them and will look at...
