    Sudden Problems With my Printer

    Aqua-Net is also the propellant of choice for potato guns, such a versatile product... Chuck, I also have an Anet A8 - Works great.

    Flywheel Castings

    Take a look here: The shipping does add a bit, but still a steal (cast iron :) ) in my opinion. I ordered the 3", but there are 4 and 5 inch also. https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/06915037

    Sudden Problems With my Printer

    +1 on the blue tape, no sprays or glues but I only do pla and no experience with other mat. Initial nozzle height setting is probably as or more important. I tend to run it on the closer to the bed side and I’ll take a little elephants foot if it guarantees bed adhesion.

    Flywheel Castings

    Maybe this has been put out there before, but I just discovered it for myself... If only there was a basic (and super cheap) casting readily available to make nice flywheels with. This will work :)

    WMSTR in 2021

    I was able to get over to check it out, rooms of stationary engines sitting there running, from tiny to gigantic as well as lots of everything else. A few pics that show just a hint of what was there. Very cool. I think I’ll keep a kerzel hit n miss on my to do list.

    For Sale Model Ignition Testing Device

    With all of the ignition system talk lately, I thought I'd put this out there. Nice and clean portable 2 channel oscilloscope, with built in DMM and backlit display, great quality and works great, no battery, but includes power adapter and original Fluke scope probe.

    Making a model Cannon

    Nice, I like the idea of the golf ball cannon. A little out of scope here, but I think a bowling ball cannon would be awesome. Maybe someday…

    For Sale Cox 049 Trio

    Thinning out a bit - Is anyone interested in these guys? All have good compression and turn smooth and should run or use them for the cylinders/pistons in another project. How about $15 each shipped USA or make an offer?

    Definitely use the IGBT's to drive ignition coils, it will save you a lot of headaches.
