Maybe. I just got my printer up and running again. Let me know more about the specifics you're looking for and I'll see what I can do.

There are some options that will give you a visual indicator that powder was thrown. It takes up a station though. If you are not running a bullet feeder you can fit it at that station. It's simply a rod that gets pushed up with the case. Based on how far it rises up you can tell if the case is empty or not. Where are you getting your Dillon equipment from? Is there any reason to buy straight from them vs. through a dealer? After shooting today I'm reminded how much I was interested in a 9mm AR Carbine. If I do that I'll be chewing through 9mm way faster than I can keep up single stage.

I've been single stage reloading for a couple years now. Mainly 6.5 Creedmoor, and a little 9mm. I'm wanting to shoot more this summer, and single stage reloading 9mm bores me to death. I was also thinking about picking up an AR, so would be reloading for that as well. Since both of those are much higher volume rounds than the 6.5 I was thinking about picking up a progressive setup. I know I'll never save as much as I spend on reloading, but I think over time it will be a decent investment. That being said, I'm curious what people think that have used progressive presses. What advice do you have? What brand or components are must have? I know Dillon is the gold standard. I love my RCBS setup I bought here on CR. For anyone asking about the math. I am assuming I will save roughly $.10 per round reloading 9mm using fired brass. So a $1500 press set up (Dillon 750xl) would roughly break even at 15,000 rounds. That's based on todays costs, who knows what the future holds. I'm not sure what direction I'll go, thought this might spark some interesting conversation though.

Angry Neighbours Fill Mustang’s Loud Exhaust With Expanding Foam
Richard Cranium replied to Otis Nice's topic in Dumpster
At first I thought that was ice cream. Is there any solvent that will dissolve expanding foam? -
Salary could start as high as about $65,000 assuming you have a bachelors degree and 10 years experience. Fixed raises every year as negotiated by the teachers association. You need at least 5 years experience to qualify as an expert in the field and get the initial teaching license. Technically it's a 6 hour work day (you'll never survive only working 6 hours a day though). Summers off. Tuition reimbursement. I know I could make more money doing something else, but this is by far the most rewarding job I have ever had.

WTB: Microsoft laptop for diagnostic software
Richard Cranium replied to zeitgeist57's topic in Other Stuff
Wow, they must have gotten cleaned out. Normally you can find some in the $200 - $300 range. -
I helped Wags with a wheel mount a little while back. If you want we could probably whip something up. Could even make it short so it would be his size.

It's most definitely not a cost saving move. Unless you're going to set up a shop with a bunch of printers and some kind of contract to print things in mass this is just a hobby. Most everything I have printed was not something I needed. I do it as a hobby. My printer hasn't been touched in a couple of months. It's still out on the desk. At some point something will happen and I'll get the bug to start tinkering with it again. If I don't have a goal I don't have motivation. Since I finished my Caliburn nerf gun I haven't really done anything. I justify the hobby with the value of learning new things. I doubt I would have gone down the CNC router rabbit hole, or learned the basics of Fusion 360 without starting in 3D printing. For a friend of mine, his hobby is carpentry. For him 3D printing was a side hobby the allowed him to print all the fittings for dust collection, and even some of his own tools. I'm less focused. My hobbies take more of an ADD approach.
-
Cool, if there are going to be other bikes there I might bring mine out. Don't have any street legal fun cars any more.

I really like the v groove aluminum extrusion and roller wheel design. My CNC router is built on that concept. The Anet A8 was a decent way to get into printing, but I'm basically modded it as far as it can go (I have one more mod in the works). I was thinking about getting an Ender 3 for home and taking the A8 to school to use there. Depending on the price I would step up to the 8"x8" work surface. There hasn't been much I couldn't print on that, but the 6"x6" will be a little tight some some things. I am considering going up to the Ender 5 and get 12"x12" I did find early on that decent consistent filament made a pretty healthy difference. Right now I really like the Hatchbox PLA filament and the Monoprice PLA+ filament. There are a lot of cool designs out there to print. I have printed more stuff from Thingiverse than I can count, but I'm starting to look into some of the paid designs as well. This is one that really caught my imagination. https://www.eclipson-airplanes.com/home The design for the flying wing autonomous drone really has me thinking hard about it. The coolest thing I have printed so far is the Caliburn Nerf gun. You can find it on Thingiverse.

My first printer I bought 3 years ago maybe. It was a Startt printer. They advertise it as your first 3D printer, not your last. It's $100, and it's pretty bare bones. But it gave me a really good start in 3D printing. Printing space was about a 4" cube. When I was done with it I sold it for $100. I then picked up an Anet A8. It's basically the same printer except has a heated print bed, and the work area is about an 8" cube. This has been a really good size, and I haven't found much I cannot print on this printer. I bought it about 2 years ago for about $200. I have probably dumped at least another $200 into it and it looks nothing like it did when I first built it. I've swapped many of the pieces out for upgraded ones and added many more too. I've been really tempted to scale that design up to a 12"x12" bed and just build the next one from scratch. A friend of mine that turned me onto the mods I made on this one bought an Ender 3 and he absolutely loves it. It will take some patience and practice to get it dialed in and printing well. There is a distinct learning curve. Once you get a good part though you get the bug and want to make it better, faster, cleaner, etc...

I'll be starting soon, once I get my wheel back from a friend I loaned it to.

I ended up finding an AK Racing Core LX Series chair for a deal on FB Marketplace. So far I'm pretty impressed. Don't think I would pay $450 for it, but for an open box deal that seems complete and functional I'm pretty happy so far. https://www.akracing.com/products/akracing-lx-plus-gaming-chair?variant=32043339219079

Are there any auto transports on here?
Richard Cranium replied to Mace1647545504's topic in Dumpster
Last I knew the title office in London is still open. Not the DMV, but at least you can get the title transferred. -
Something tells me it won't bother him.
-
I don't have the vac, but I have a dust collector system in my shop, and I have a hose adapter that will connect to the Domino. Thanks! I've been struggling with running out and buying one for quite a while, just couldn't pull the trigger. When I saw the deal I couldn't resist.
-
I was planning to put mine into savings for a rainy day. Then my neighbor messaged me about a guy selling a Festool Domino. Got a basically brand new Domino and systainer kit for less than the stimulus. Would have been about $1500 otherwise. Looks like he only used 1 size of tenon for whatever he was doing, so about 1/2 of that size is gone, and the rest are full.

Just finished watching it. Something happened between the 2nd and 3rd guest. It's like Petty's system changed audio codecs or something. He went from being clear as a bell to soft and muffled. It might be something with my desktop. I do periodically open a video and the audio is muffled, but it never changes. This is the first time I noticed it change. Your audio and the guest audio was fine, it was only Petty's. Interesting stuff though. Good way to kill some time.

I'd message Duff here on the site.

Electric cordless grease guns
Richard Cranium replied to Radio Flyer1647545514's topic in Passing Lane
Do you already have battery tools? I would tend to go with whatever already uses the batteries I have. In my case M18, but mainly because I have a bunch of packs already. -
1968 Mustang body on Howe road race chassis
Richard Cranium replied to Tinman's topic in Passing Lane
It's weird to me thinking about how nice the work is your doing will hide how much work it is. Everything is looking natural. I can see when this is done most people thinking this was easy to just drop the body onto the chassis. I guess that's the point though, to make it looks like it belongs that way. The trained eye will notice things wider than they should be or wondering why this line goes that direction. Question. Now that the front end is wider than it was the A pillars look awkward to me sitting inboard of the front fenders. Just curious if that is in the plan to do something with them? Or is it just part of the plan and they stay where they are. I'm still just baffled how you are making this look so easy, despite the fact I have some inkling how much work you're putting in. -
With the wfh thing going on, I am spending a lot more time at my desk. I have determined I hate my desk chair. I was shopping around on Amazon for a replacement, but there are only about a billion choices. Anyone have a recommendation for one they love in the $150 price range?
