    Metalworking Thread (aka Haus indulging his inner mountain dwarf)

    Came out really well for a first draft! Where did you get the flask/mold frame that you're using? I've done some stuff with the petrabond, but I made a not very good wooden frame that probably ain't gonna hold up to much repeated work.

    My only suggestions on tools is to buy them as you need them and not before. If you end up really getting into it, then you can't beat a real shop table saw.

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    What are you planning to cast it in? Copper?

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    If that HT-PLA is genuinely that resistant to heat while being as easy/friendly to print as PLA, that's going to be the go to filament for almost everything. Is it not out yet or are they already sold out? None of the colors available on their site as of now.

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    This is awesome. Can't wait to see the finished product. I did some pretty basic metal casting not too long ago. I 3D printed some numbers, then took a bunch of copper pipes that my sister had ripped out of her new house when they remodeled it. I cast her house numbers in copper and then put...

    Looks cool. What filament is it?

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    Yeah, I've completely disassembled my AMS like 5 times now because of little filament bit getting stuck in one of the bowden tubes. Really wish they made those paths easily accessible.

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    Honestly, I think starting out with an Ender or anything similar(Creality CR10 was my first printer) makes you appreciate just how good the Bambu systems are. If the Bambu was someone's first printer, they are pretty misleading in how most Chinese printers are. I think I spent more time leveling...

    If this is the same guy I'm thinking of, he has a hilarious video of him laying out his concrete foundation in his basement on his own. Almost ends up killing himself. I like that dude.

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    Here's something I built this week, which I think falls into the "useful" category. Built a new NAS for my network and 3D printed the case for it. This model is designed really well. Went together perfectly and has a lot of modularity/customizing you can do. I did this in ABS...

    As someone who has a tabletop one, avoid it. I have a "decent" midrange 10" spiral Wahuda(pic below) and it's taken a massive amount of work to get it really dialed in and squared up perfectly, and even then the length just sucks for any real kind of large size pieces. It has extensions, but...

    So I just finished season 1 of this. I had completely sworn off all Star Wars shit, to be honest. Just so much badly written slop in the last 15 years. But I was home sick and this has been sitting on my Plex server since it came out. I'm blown away at a Star Wars show actually being good. The...

    Nah, that's cool and interesting. I'm mostly just talking about the giant slop of resin between 2 chunks of wood. What kind of CNC do you have?

    Nah, people were doing terrible ones for a few years until he came along. He showed you can actually make something nice like that, but I do agree that the trend has gotten very tired/cringe at this point.

    The only resin table channel I watch is Blacktail Studio, mostly because he buys those insane pieces of lumber.

    Yup, pocket holes are great for cabinetry. They are just fine for rigidity and in a cabinet(even arcade ones) they will almost all be completely hidden and out of sight. I've been putzing around in woodworking for about 7 years now and have tried all the cool traditional joinery, but I use...

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    Oh I can't argue with that. I don't use them for any kind of savings. It's definitely because it's more fun to use them vs buying a replacement part. I'm not a brokie, so I don't care about saving money. You have to be at least a level 5 autist to really enjoy it, though.

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    For resin printing i might agree, but for FDM I've made tons of functional parts for different things around the house, as well as repair/replacement parts. Ton of organizational things for both my shop and for the family. Having a good grasp on CAD software like Fusion 360 really opens up the...

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    I have a few resin printers and have done tons of miniatures. That said, I fucking hate resin printing. Messy, toxic, so much post processing and clean up. My heart will always be with FDM. As for my resin printers, I'll second @Kais on the Anycubic. I have a Photon Mono M5s, which I think the...

    It's what prompted me to buy my Ridgeline when I sold my M2. Don't really need towing, but I wanted something I could pick up lumber and other shop crap.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    This game has almost made me like the French. I have never been awesome and terrible at a parry system at the same time. One session I will be parry/counterattack 100 attacks in a row. The next session, I'm just a total retard and can't time anything.

    I saw this video yesterday and came here to post it! I love the way this thing came out. That gem cut edge was very cool. Seems pricey to me as well, but at the end of the day it's worth whatever he sells it for.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    So did I fuck myself here. I beat Messmer before doing like any of the bottom half of the map. Then moved onto the part where you burn the sealing tree. Did I just screw myself out of all the questlines? Leda now wants to fight me with like 6 other faggots and they are beating my ass.

    Awww man, I miss my Z. What a fun car. I had it for 9 years and it never gave me a single problem or issue. My M2 was the exact opposite. Turbo charge pipe blew off, engine was leaking oil. Adios, bitch! Now I'm just driving a boring Honda Ridgeline, but another sports car will be soon. As for...
