Yeah for the unlucky some of us when a cramp hits, nothing helped. Fuck I've even tried running up and down stairs at 3am. Doing full stretches etc. Turns out good chance you're low on magnesium or potassium or maybe Manganese? I don't remember but the wife shoves one of the 3 in my mouth when she's had enough of my whining and I'm good for a while with no cramps at night.

Yeesh that sucks. Least you have coffey snaks for days to come. I move to my place like 6--7 years ago and I'd be lucky to get through a small box of chocolate. Each year it picked up to the point where this year I had 2 full size bars left from the 50 I started with.

Apart from the preeety picture, are there any actual problems with the motor? If not just drive it. Add zunc additive to every oil change from now on.

Nah my cast only washes with hot water and small Scraper. If you need soap. We'll you don't like actualy don't. Seasoning? Just cook bacon, dump the grease leave a bit in put it back on the stove for a hot minute or while you put your blt together. Done it's hunk of metal not much you can do to fuck it up. And if food is sticking to it probably cause you didn't get the pan hot enough before you put the food in.

I've been using a 1/4" thick sheet of carbon fiber for years now. Once warmed up to temp prints stick hard on it. As soon as it's cool a breeze can push a print of the bed. Plus it won't shatter like glass does eventually, boy was that a surprise. You still have to wipe clean with some rubbing alcohol before printing.

Bad bearing on a moving part. Or a bur along a rail, It catches just enough to cause the smooth motion to jitter a bit as the head moves along. Blobbing the material down instead of spreading it nice and even.

You have a draft going through your room, I used to have same issue when my printer was beside a window. Less when I moved the printer to middle of the room and issue was gone when put the printer into a closet. With closed doors.

You can try lowering bed temperature to, the warm bed keeps lower layer pliable but the upper layers cool and contract pulling the more flexible layer up and away. So a cooler bed temp should make the bottom layers more ridgid.

 

Need some help with overcoming the initial hurdles of a learnjng curve. I'm in a fake it till I make it type situation right now. We acquired most of the equipment that a machine/fab shop would have and most of them, there is plenty of information online to learn from. Except for the horizontal boring mill, and I am struggling. The tooling all needs to be made up for it. Nothing I can purchase direct. The spindle is a MT6. My supplier can only get me reducers to MT5. And setting up parts is quite time consuming.

Any advice or know how on being able to turn a profit on this machine would be appreciated.

The machine is a TOS W100 in mostly good working order. Apart from the boring head dropping 0.020" if I cut in reverse travel after forward travel cutting.

Thanks
