I cannot explain for the life of me how I see this guy on my feed every single time and everytime I think "Surely he calibrated his printers this time or started checking the preview before printing something the first time" and nope. It never happens

Just so you know, the US and UK have been using steel 2x4 (LGSF) construction for the same amount of time, we both started building residential homes using this style of construction in the late 80's. Both countries experimented with it beginning in the 1850's.

That lab jack was one of the first things i ever printed on my ender 3 back in the day. I actually scaled it down to not take so long and used it to prop up a webcam behind the ender.

Thank you for calling out that designer for not allowing remixes. That drives me insane. Actually had somebody tell me the other day that they were going to report me because I uploaded a profile which included additional parts. What a joke.

I like that you include the stuff that is underwhelming or just doesn't really work.

these adjustable platforms are used for photography. the main use case is for lab glass setups to align beakers and other apparatus.

Thank you so much for reviewing my router table design. This has just been shared to me by a friend and I never thought in my wildest dream that anything I designed would ever be featured by a big channel so thank you for making my day.<br>Firstly I need to apologise as the table top infill absolutely should have been cubic and not honeycomb but I guess in the heat of battle I missed that, The 3MF file is already changed to cubic infill for future downloads. <br>As for the excessive support on the leg set, you are not the first to mention it and I even tried to redesign the leg set to rotate the hexagons in an effort to reduce the infill required but the slicer still saw them as requiring support. These little situations will leave a designer screwed where they do or don't so I figured have the support and put up with people moaning for doing too much instead of not enough. <br>I allowed 0.1 tolerance for part fitting which works great for most filaments but seeing you beating on it due to the GF infused filament really brought a smile to my face. <br><br>As for the buttons facing the incorrect way, well unfortunately you have installed the table top 90 degrees out as it was designed in mind of having the buttons at the front, the cut out of the base piece at the rear for battery removal and the fence goes to the right of the cutter. It's only a small thing but I just wanted to let you know that the whole table idea was based around the Makita router and all this was taken into consideration. <br><br>Looking at your setup you look to have the fence on the left of the cutter which will result in the work piece being pushed away from the fence. Put the fence on the other side of the cutter and the work piece will be pushed against the fence when cutting which is safer, easier and result in a better finish. Please do a little read up on router tables before doing too much with it as there is some definite do's and don'ts to maintain safety and quality of your work. <br><br>Happy printing and happy filming.<br><br>All the best Marty.

You can also drill a couple small holes towards the top of you trash can and they will let the air out. I used 3/8" but you could use any size.

studsniffer is basically a "studbuddy" which works really well for find nails and screws in the wall

Tip for stud finding: almost every switch and wall plug is mounted to a stud, on either right or left side. Take a super strong magnet and run it up & down the wall next to a switch. Cover a rectangle 2-3 inches wide by 12-18 inches tall, your magnet is bound to find a screw head under all that mud & paint. Studs in the US are usually 24in (61cm) apart, so once you find the first screw, measure that far to either side and scan the wall again.<br>I can find half a dozen random screws in under a minute.
