Hi krypto. I have a 10" Logan and ~99% of the 10 & 11" parts are interchangeable. I have a spreadsheet I've made listing the most common metric threads and the required gears. It's been a work in progress, but the information is there, just not in a professional layout. I also have the table...

I won't lie or exaggerate. It was painful. Especially the Prusa. Like you, the friend who pointed me to it was aghast at what I was going through. I do think it's settled out now. And as much as I didn't care for the lessons, I now have a much better understanding of how the components are "...

IMHO and experience, you have to spend a fair amount of coin to buy a true turn-key printer. I didn't want another project, but my significant other really wanted a printer . . . The following experiences are an over view of my life from Christmas day 2022 to the 2nd week of March 2023...

Only six months? That's not even long enough for dust to settle. Some of mine have several layers, from opposite sides of the continent. <rolls eyes at self> Ron

Ops, talk about not rememebring what I said a week ago . . . and I haven't done anything yet. www.jensputzier.com now offers a PET seal maybe one day I'll spend the $.

Tom's Techniques is a good HHS tool sharpening reference. If you are going to stick with HHS, I, and many others, find Gary's/ Eccentric Engineering diamond (tangential) tool holders well worth the investment. Super simple grind with a jig and ridiculously easy to keep sharp. Good for just about...

For what it's worth, no regrets over spending the money and not having to fool with an oil can. Only drawback is the top oh ring is junk. Easy fix. The gentleman who runs Reilang was an exchange student to the US once. Very responsive and open to ideas. Reilang R003 MERKUR Precision ball Oiler...

Love the clear tube for the pump body. Good educational tool for demonstrating a poppet valve.

The Brits were the first with Whitworth 1841. US had some, a document was published in 1864. Civil War rifles had interchangeable parts, as did standard Quartermaster mule wagons. But IIRC it wasn't until 1916, WWII and the introduction of Johansson Blocks that standardization really hit the...

FWIW, I do recall reading that to speed up the build, many items were subcontracted. Not the norm where in a single shop or facility, a knowledgeable person would be available to give a hole dimension. Without giving a factual reason, the author reported serious troubles when a component would...

The ultimate in KISS (keep it simple stupid) to which I'll add "If it works it isn't stupid." Old US Army maxim. :) Ron

Option 1 post a link to the Archive.org item(s) with notes on what you think is valuable. Option 2 Create a Google account and use their storage. There are settings to only allow people you approve to get access, a link is sent to them from the Gmail account. This can be maintenance/time...

Thanks! I run Linux on laptops as they age out of Microcrap, but just haven't been able to completely wean myself off it. I'll go give your process a try. I've been hung up on screen captures and sizing the screen is tough. Ron

Very nice! I have a miserable time creating files from the Google archives. What application did you use to capture these? Ron

Sorry I can't recall the details. If it ends up not being tis forum, let me know.

There is a thread addressing this about a signal cannon in the UK. Sorry can't search out the thread right now, seem to recall a bit about a special shell. Ron

Congratulations! Lots of fun ahead. I have remembered this from literally decades ago when Grizzly first started production in Taiwan. Another part is a culture of "It's up to you to catch me." And little argument if caught. But if you don't have QC on site, by the time the container gets...
