Happy Birthday Brian! 🎂 + 🍺 = :D

I've found that my digital camera somehow shows up rust that is almost invisible to the naked eye. And I have issues with damp in my shop too.

The Percival Proctor is a piston engine plane, not referred to as the 'Tornado' and has a top speed less than 300km/h - not Mach 2. So what was your first post ("Over the years, I've noted that the Right glue will hold a RAF Goldstar31 Tornado bomber together- since they were on the Secret List...

What aircraft are you talking about here? Surely not the Panavia Tornado??

It looks like they do but they charge an extra $10 handling fee on international orders, plus shipping. With the ridiculous prices of shipping from the USA (I got an envelope today that cost me $5), then it's probably a $60-70 quill stop. I think I'd build one before I laid out that much for a...

If you're using Windows it's very simple. Have all the drawings in a single folder then right-click on that folder and from the drop-down that opens up hover over the 'Send To' option and another small drop-down will show several options. One of those options will be 'Compressed (zip) folder' -...

So if the original owner dies the stuff should be free-for-all? So if you were to pass away tomorrow there'd be no issue with everyone in the area turning up to your place and helping themselves to whatever they wish? I think your heirs may have a different view...

Many things may have changed since I last looked at this type of machine (and hopefully it has made the switch to USB). I know they used to be parallel port only so when I saw the topic yesterday I did a quick google and looked up the ChinaCNCzone site. It wasn't totally clear from the website...

Just to be perfectly clear, the opinions I've expressed on ethics, etc. are my personal opinions as a member and not necessarily those of the forum. I can't separate my posts from my mod status but basically 99% of my posts are just me as a member. The mod bit is normally just removing spam...

I certainly could be wrong but I think that machine connects to the computer with a parallel port rather than a USB, especially if using Mach3. This can be a problem with computers less than (maybe?) 10 years old because they removed that port quite a while ago. There are work arounds if that's...

As below, it is likely a license condition rather than copyright, but there is also the 'spirit' or ethical issue here. Let's say there's 25 of us on the forum that want to build a fancy new design published by Joe Bloggs. Conveniently, there are 50 sheets in the plan set and the whole set is...

I meant with the disc itself as a physical activation code. I'm not sure I've seen one actually printed on the disc itself. I think I might have confused my Windows versions though as I think 95 was easily transferable between machines.

I'm seeing videos showing up fine. Nothing has changed that I'm aware of.

If you click on a members name or avatar on one of their posts it opens up a box with a 'Start a Conversation' button. Hit that button and type your message into the text box that opens up, then hit the 'Start a Conversation' button on the bottom of that text box o send your message.

Interesting - how does that go for things like a copy of an operating system for instance? You pay for a license and you're allowed to use it exactly once (for a normal stand-alone license). The registration of that operating system is keyed into the specific hardware configuration of you...

Thanks for that. I have a couple of those sitting around and I'm in need of a coil soon so I'll give it whirl.

Awake - not sure if you're aware but many people get a couple of IKEA 'Lack' coffee tables and stick them together with brackets you print off Thingiverse, then cover the sides in coreflute or similar to make a cheap, quick enclosure. If you printer fits in the footprint of the table it's an...

I can't see why your plan wouldn't work. I also can't see why you couldn't start in the middle like you plan to, cut in one direction (CCW it seems) then reset to the middle and cut in a clockwise direction to finish that side. The fixture should allow you to cut in both directions I think.

It's just general advice (I don't have any direct knowledge of these plan sets). Lots of the plans in this hobby are covered by such a license condition and many of them may not explicitly display the conditions on them but are agreed to upon initial purchase instead. That © symbol certainly...

I only have a cheap printer but it can do ABS and PLA. I have a roll of ABS that I use when absolutely necessary but generally I stick with PLA - especially now that I've found out you can 'temper' PLA prints to get extra strength and temperature resistance from them when needed.
