Very Much this ^.

All fines do is force too poor to walk when they cannot afford the fine or other options. If that is the goal, free/cheap access to pools and sports centres as we had in the 70s was a better solution.

If the goal is to stop driving. Points on the licence. And providing practical alternatives.

Ibdont. My brother dose.

So im going to give meshroom a try with my android phone.

If that dont work ill get my brother to come up to the boat.

Wow tjeubare cheap now.

Ill gove that a try

Ive used it alot. But far feom expertly

But not seen that. Likely cos I have never looked :)

Ill have a look at it. Thanks.

Multihead printing is still in the early days.

Agreed but then so was 3D printing as a whole 10 years ago. It is open source design started by Rep Rap that put us where we are now.

Im a about to be beginner. Recently retired through disability. So finally have time to play with the subject. So yes, at some point I’d like to come back to you and take you up on your offer. ATM im saving to buy a Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro. And from there I have some projects to do then will start building my own design based on an open design I looked at in the past. (cant remember the name of my head)

As long as the basic connections are an open design.

It would be a great step towards multihead printing.

Lets face it long term to gain the full ability of 3D printing. It will need to move to a multi material design. And that is likely to require the ability to change tool types mid-production.

Those of us who grew up during the IRA bombing find that statement odd.

Hence why he used veg oil the second time.

Interesting project. Can’t think of anything where adhesive shrink wrap would not do a better job.

But worth remembering for odd projects.

Thanks very useful. More or less what I expected but great to get confirmation. Humidity here is 30 to 60% averaging the higher end more often. So def need decent drying chamber.

Yep, I knew the tent was more about retaining the heat. Just considered the hose a useful add-on. It is good to know you think that will be adequate as I could not find much online.

Do you think mixing colours at diff layers will be an issue as long as I keep both rolls in drying chambers?

Again, thanks for taking the time. It is fantastic to get some confirmations and advice from someone who has used the stuff before I spend what little cash I have.

Def usefull info i did not know about. Nothing I had in mind parts wise. But may well allow me to thinkmof many more usefull adaptions now I know.

Thinks I’ll do a little researchninto TPU. I have time before I can afford the printer so am able to learn more.

As for cad. I have lots of experience with blender. While it is not designed for true cad. It is very capable of the levels I need.

Also, FreeCAD has grown hugely since I last looked into it. So way more practical to use if I get into anything more complex.

PA6 nylon is the best for strength and chemical resistance. As some parts need to survive in bilge water for a decade or so. Diesel oil will rut them. Nylon plastics are best for this and heat resistance from hot engine. As parts will be used their as well.

Yeah I know it is one of the hardest to work with. Hence the tent and dryer comment.

Would be fantastic if someone with experience in it can tell me if the tent solution is good enough.

Worst comes to worst all have to build a frame enclosure, and it is only a few parts where nylon is required. So I can learn.

The fact that the neptune is able to print at the temps needed is one of the reasons I am considering it.

Nods nylon pA6 is much more heat resistant hence the choice.

But the main reason is the bilge will get engine oil and diesel in it. These destroy other plastics over time. Abs and nylon or peek etc are the only long term options.

Nylon is also stronger for mechanical parts IE small gears etc. While I can see me playing with that. It is not my main intent. Clips and specified mounting boards and frames is the main task.

Pretty much.

Edit. But if we are honest. Its not like western nations are going to stop buying vote to teach them the cost.

Unfortunately I don’t drink their products as I’m cheap. So can’t really help myself. But I would be amazed if a boycott of coca cola ever happened effectively.

Lets remember the fanta story.

Coke never left Germany even when the US finally joined the 2nd World War. The traded as fanta to avoid losing sales as an American brand. Once the German people felt they had reason to distrust the US.

Remember this company has a history of refusing to take sides.

Not a very valid point.

Every nation complains about its leaders. Some are still bigger shit heads then others.

Simple fact is human beings are more likely to comment on issues then note boring reliability. It still in no way effects the cross nation comparison.

The best of nations in anything has a right and even need to look for better. That is afterall how progress works.

But you need clear comparisons and data to accusse those complaints of properganda.

Ok. Not sure losing 20 years to a court basing ideas on such things is any better. Seems even 20 years ago a defence would be able to provide diverging experts. 20 years ago genetics was fairly well understood even if we know more now. The idea of a family having a common issue was fully expetlcted in the 1990s let alone 2000.

As a anacdotal example. My family surrers from an eye condition. Thar was believed to be the result of a period of illness in my father i. The 70s

My brother had it from 10 and my more recently.

It was about 1990 rhat the experts started to recognise ot was a genetic conditio. Carried by all males. So the time this woman was jailed. The ideas had been well known in science for iver 10 years. Someone would have been able to provide expert witness doubting the paediatric ideals.

But lets be honest. Much of the US laws being instituted in firced borth states is based on similar unsupported ideals)

Reading the summery. A law that assumes 3 deaths is murder “until prove otherwise”. Ations like childcare while she worked part time and attended the gym seen as suspicious.

People need to remember this is exactly the sort of law some anti choice for women women groups in the US will lead to.

One side will claim the other did. And respond.

We all know what way around it will be.

But will see debates about weather or not the evidence of it being broken is real.

EDIT: honestly trying to avoid takibg sides. As niether are entirly innocent.

But fuck I am getting fed up with all sides claiming any support for the other is racist.

We have to much fucking racism to allow governemts to pull it out as a properganda move\weapon of war. While ignoring the actual actions.

True of monotheism. But animalistic religions is believed have been one of the first. And very early at about 300k old. That is basically assuming a sentience to natural events. So if is fairly likely they blamed an inability to procreat on some unhappy element in thier world.
