Reminds me of the story my father told me many years ago, of how he was behind an open top sports car in heavy traffic one day. In the passenger seat was what appeared to be a long haired blonde woman. ‘She looks a bit of alright!’, thought my father to himself, so he made an effort to pull up on the near side for a look at the next traffic lights. It was an Afghan hound.

Joining wings where there's a large epoxy joint is my problem. Beasuse I know there's only one chance to get it right before the epoxy goes off. I'm always careful to get everything ready, and pre-check alignments, availability of tools, clean up tissue, solvent etc.. But I always have a fear that as soon as I've mixed up the large amount of epoxy required there'll be someone at the front door, or the phone will ring!

Yep, I’d say as close to the fus as possible. I certainly wouldn’t do this…!

Four times a second according to the Speed Flea website.

Reminds me of the story I heard when I worked in hi-fi retail (as a junior bench engineer) back in the mid 1970s. One of the salesmen told us of a customer he’d had on the phone who was keen to buy a particular pair of speakers, but wanted to listen to them first. Once he’d established the shop had them in stock, he asked whether the salesman could play them down the phone to him before he went to the trouble of making the journey.

Thanks Keith, hadn’t seen those before. They look like they might be the answer to the bed drift problems on my Ender 3 V2. I have the supposedly upgraded yellow springs which were OK for a while, but I suspect may be the cause of my recent levelling problems. I’ll get some on order…

Not with an RCV!

My Ender 3 V2 has done sterling service over the 2+ years that I’ve had it. Getting a little fed up with having to do frequent manual checks on the bed levelling, which drifts sometimes. I’ll live with it for now, but I know I’m going to be tempted by a Bambu P1P or P1S and their auto bed levelling (and other refinements) sooner or later.

3D printing is a whole science in itelf.

Yes I’ve heard about that. Some issue with potential damage to the heated bed power cable isn’t it?

Creality Ender 3 series are a popular starting point. Not expensive, easy to get parts for, and compatible with most common slicer software. Or for a bit more money, the newer Bambu Labs A1 is well reviewed.

Reminds me of the (probably apocryphal) tale of the American tourist overheard complaining about how far they’d put Stonehenge from the visitors centre 🤪.
