https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwtOZz_8X94 Sanctions against 3rd party components affecting 3D printer manufacturers. Yeah. If the feds were honest (which we can debate if any federal agency can be honest by mandate)(and I say this irrespective of who is in power) ALL ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS shoud be o...

Short answer: We don't answer store transaction issues on the forum. Lag answer: For that one you should call the shop. Different software (same Jaysen supporting it) but the checkout plugin is a third party. Since you are (if i recall) a repeat, they will likely be able to just recover your cart an...

"Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. The server has high load. Please try again later." I can't get to new posts or unread posts this morning, is it all because of bot traffic? Should be fixed. Was actually pending reboot causing excess journel logging between disk snapshots. Ho...

As every teenage Jaysen in the multiverse knows… pressurized vapor is what goes boom. The feds are literally making explosive devices in ever shed and garage in America.

Also… cars must be vented. So… logic be damned!

I belive the death of the metal tank is a federal thing. Grounding requirements. Odd that plastic carries more charge potential but... who's letting science make the actual decisions here?

You could splice a new piece(s) in there but you’ll need to remove some of the existing to make a lap joint.

That will introduce cata...

the vac should be doing that...

more balloons and higher additive in the epoxy will help it suck less. Apply as little compound as possible as well.

The tape (not glass tape, but just tape) really is only there to prevent the glue from falling out. The glue shouldn't be runny enough to be dripping. add more wood flour to your mix. You only want to "prime" the wood surface with straig epoxy to ensure that the ply soaks up enough epoxy t...

Glass will appear white, phenolic will be colored. I must have all phenolic. I figured out phenolic is what BBC puts in the fairing mix making it pink.

Great catch on that.
