It’s hard to tell, but I’ll do some poking around today.

The original hardware was drilled into the wood over the panel and sealed. The rudder had a pin that went through the mount and it’s own hardware. That pin likely bounced out and torqued the whole piece off.

Thank you for the advice!

Thank you sbv!

I wish I could tell you.

My best guess is that the pin bounced out when i was trying to help my wife uncleat the jib and the pressure just ripped the rudder right off. It was just a perfect storm of a large wind gust, waves, and a hardware failure

[–] Koopa_Khan 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

That’s a good question. I’m pretty sure I can, those I might try to fit a different style since the original set up wasn’t great

If you were me, would you try to use the same wood that’s there or replace the whole structure?

Lol that’s the first time ive seen that

This happened mid sail, but we were fortunate enough to get a tow back to the dock and on a lift

I’m glad it was this and not the mast

[–] Koopa_Khan 7 points 3 weeks ago

No orcas but maybe some very aggressive large mouth bass lol.

Glad to hear it might be repairable though. I spend god knows how long last month repairing hairline cracks in the hull, I’d at least like to do some sailing this season

I took the boat out for its first sail this year and lost the rudder.

Do you guys think this is reparable or am I buying a new boat? It’d be a shame to lose her over something so stupid

This right here is the only thing I’m worried about

I like it a lot, and it got my wife into Fallout.

I’m not happy about the power armor, ghoul makeup, or the decision to have very obvious real world car frames rusting away. It nailed everything else in my book though.

All things considered it’s a blast to watch, and did I mention it got my wife into Fallout? She’s been asking questions about the lore, and she couldn’t care less about any other game outside of Dream Light Valley before this. If it gives us another thing to bond over and gets her into a series that helped me through some of the worst parts of my life, I’m all about it.

I wasn’t saying that playstation hasn’t sold more consoles. I also not arguing that it doesn’t have better games. It does, Microsoft is very clearly dropping the ball even after they acquired as many heavy hitters as they did. My biggest regret this generation was switching to a Series X from the PS4 instead of either tossing money at a PC or picking up the PS5.

What I’m surprised by is that the conditions when consoles have had didn’t seem to be taken into effect.

[–] Koopa_Khan 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I find poor sales hard to believe taking into account the pandemic and supply chain issues both consoles faced for a couple years.

[–] Koopa_Khan 6 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Please don’t take this as me being a dick, I’m genuinely curious. Why not just get a Series X and not buy disks?

Which slicer do you use (self.3dprinting)
submitted 6 months ago by Koopa_Khan to c/3dprinting
 

Hi everyone!

I'm curious to know which slicer you guys use.

I've been using the Creality slicer, but it seems like it pretty consistently crashes, and I've tried Cura but the print seemed stringy despite using the same settings.

How are Orca or Prusa?

How? (lemmy.world)

Does this hobby ever get easier or is it always like getting kicked in the nuts by Ronaldo?

Filament some how leaked up and burned on. I just don’t have it in me to keep tinkering. I just want to print

Is there any reason that little silver part of the extruder wouldn’t move and start clicking while printing when printing at 205 in PLA. It seems to turn just fine without any filament in there otherwise.

I cleaned out a nozzle clog, but is it possible there’s junk in the hot end stuck?

Resolution: Thanks for your help everyone! It ended up being a nozzle clog that I didn’t get all the way out. I ended up heating the printer up and doing the cool down trick. That seemed to work as a last ditch effort before buying a new nozzle.

I recently picked up a PC and decided to give the original fallout game a try. Do you guys have any tips or tricks I should know before I get started?

Ender 3 V3 Neo Enclosure (self.3dprinting)
submitted 8 months ago by Koopa_Khan to c/3dprinting
 

Hi all! I was curious to see if anyone had any recommendations for an enclosure for the Ender V3 Neo. I found a few on Amazon, but they look like grow tents and wasn’t sure if that would work well. For a bit of context, it seems like an enclosure is a must have for ABS printing which is ultimately what I’m after.

Thanks everyone!

Ender 3 V2 Neo Bolt Sizes (self.3dprinting)
submitted 10 months ago by Koopa_Khan to c/3dprinting
 

I recently picked up an Ender 3 V2 Neo at auction. All the pictures looks great, I was told it functioned, and I saw some pictures of it put together.

Long story short either they didn't include the bolts to mount the screen/gantry or kept them.

Does anyone know what screen bolts and gantry mounting bolts I need? Thanks in advance!

68 Screeching Sounds (self.air_cooled_volkswagens)
 

Hi everyone,

I have a 1968 convertible beetle that will start an idle for about two minutes while it makes a god-awful screeching sound before it dies. This seems to be a relatively new sound as last year it would start and at least idle before dying on acceleration.

Does anyone have any advice on what could be causing the screeching or why it would idle but not take acceleration? I’ve played with the auto choke a little bit, but it hasn’t made a difference as far as I can tell. The carburetor was also cleaned and rebuilt. The only other thing I can think of is, maybe there’s something caught in the fuel screen, old or the fuel pump is bad.

Thanks everyone I appreciate it!

 
 

It looks like we have a couple perks, but is it going to be viable until the late game?

I’m glad I found this community and was curious to see what everyone else had. I picked up a 68 convertible Beetle a couple years ago.
