    8 x 4 board lifter

    I did see these listed at SF but they were out of stock at the time of looking and secondly I can't see me ever using it again so would have been £12.00 wasted imo. I might try printing one on a 3D printer should I need one in the future. Thanks for the insight though at least I know they work...

    8 x 4 board lifter

    I've just lined my shed with 8'x4' 11mm OSB and none of those ideas would have helped me because I had to lugg them through the house and up the garden, so what I used was a speed clamp with the head reversed and I put it under the rough centre of the sheet with the handle towards my leg and...

    New road tax charging rules wont just affect EV OR just new vehicles, its retrospectively changes your tax band

    A note to those EV haters, I'm being priced off the road. Car insurance £394 and just renewed it but it took me days of searching to find that price from the same insurer that also quoted me £550 on a different comparison site. If the wonderful Government are expecting me to be able to fork out...

    Smart meter con ?

    The reason I gave for refusing a smart meter is the fact that I sit very close the the meter location and I don't want to be sitting in a bath of cellular radiation. They haven't bothered me since.

    Smart meter con ?

    From my own investigations many years ago (YT) is was demonstrated that with an array of solar panels and a grid tied inverter when the sun shines the old disc type meter would go backwards so effectively reducing your bill unless you used more than you gained during the evenings. I truly...

    Bambu lab buying advice

    I hardly ever use the touch screen instead I access both printers from my laptop with full control over everything.

    Bambu lab buying advice

    My current go to for PET-G is Copymaster3D which comes from Technology outlet who is just going through a rebranding so they're selling off perfectly good filament at discounted prices, I've saved a fortune and would buy more if I had the dosh. You can't really go wrong with PLA so fill yer...

    Bambu lab buying advice

    It could be speed like you say and with PET-G extruder temperature plays a large part. The P1 series do print amazingly fast if you let them which is fine for PLA but not so much for PET-G, I've reduced my printing by 50% and increased temps for better adhesion as I found out that if temps are...

    Bambu lab buying advice

    Actually that is a severe case with some crappy Bambu Lab PET-G filament. Normally you won't see any defects until your well into your print because the filament may be dry on the outside but as it's used you're likely to find moisture deeper in the spool. This is of course costly in time and...

    This is what wet PET-G looks like from my experience.

    Bambu lab buying advice

    I have 2 P1S's and 1 has an AMS. Dave, you mentioned that you wanted to print with PET-G, I must warn you that although printing with PET-G isn't really much different from PLA, PET-G likes to absorb moisture and it will suck up so much that it can take up to 12 hours to dry it out. I've even...

    Cordless power washer, anyone had one?

    I've got a Greenworks pressure washer and I can't fault it. Mine came with a 4Ah battery and charger which is plenty for washing a Mk3 Mondeo. GREENWORKS GDC40 70BAR 40V CORDLESS PRESSURE WASHER Available at Screwfix but without the battery and charger, search and you'll probably find a better...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    The unfortunate guy who parked outside my garage had to come back the next day because I blocked him in and wouldn't answer the door to him. He left his mobile number on my windscreen so I rang him at 7.00am to tell him that I've moved my car. 🤣 I'm not normally such a nasty bar steward but I...

    Considering dipping toe into 3d printing so what do you think of this one?

    I'm a little late to the chat here but my 2 pence worth might be worth considering. I went down the Bambu Lab route and currently use 2 P1S's, one has an AMS. They both work perfectly right out of the box, literally. Things to consider when choosing a 3D printer. Environment as in humidity...

    Living next to a hospital has its disadvantages and one of them is visitors wanting to park for free somewhere. Returning home to find some numb nuts parked outside my garage inspired my to design and print this. Hoping the neighbors will want one too as we all suffer the same inconvenience.
