Ghetto Mods

[mechtech]

Relatively quiet. Few air raid sirens every day, but fortunately no rockets. Everyone is so used to it that they just keep going about their business.

Work is going well. Got a few side-hustles last month. The whole reason I'm building this thing, is because I've already earned a "free" lifetime supply of PETG after helping my friend to fix his production line (he makes filament for 3d printers). That's a ghetto-mod story for another day
Staying busy as usual.

Available to buy online, or just for local sales?

Local for now. There's still a long way to go before we get the quality up to decent levels and be "good enough" to sell overseas. For now it's simply "dirt-cheap, works with 0.6+mm nozzle". Good stuff for large-format printers, but terrible for small scale consumer stuff.

I optimalized my tesla m40 cooling. Additional external fan, and duct tape for sealing. Little overclock (From 1112 boost and 6000 ram to 1227 boost, 7200 ram)
Repasted with MX-5, but the pads are original. 76C after superposition extreme benchmark. It is bellow 70C in games so there is much more oc possible.

Yes, because the card is very long.

Mr. Ryobi needs to take Mrs. Deburring on a date.

My neck says big nono

You can do that with 24" screens, it's not possible with 32" unless you're super far back

I need some dremel attachments, it's not something i'm super familiar with but it's on the to-buy list

go out, find a gravel road, pick a sharp pointy stone, glue it to the drill bit, poof!, instant Dremel!

(suggestions like this is what happens when you read too much of the Ghetto Mods thread....)

Simple deburring can be done with a large drill bit or countersink bit in a pinch. Definitely no need for a dremel unless you want to be fancy about it.

You've probably paid too many respects, easy to run out of F's that way.

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

How many F's are there in a workday?

How many F's are there in a workday?

Depends on the job, the working conditions, the pay, and more. AFAIK the range is from zero to near infinity, though the average number of F's/workday is probably rather close to zero.

using hot glue stick as laptop pad, i can't use foam coz in days it will flat enough to support the weight, so i need something that more solid, so i cut the stick and double tape it

not very neat but it looks ok

I've used low viscosity UV cured glue for this on my daughters laptop. Works great.

Lose weight

You could try putting a pair of fairly stiff pillows lengthwise to reduce the stress on your tailbone. Duct tape them on to keep it ghetto.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Damn I knew I was forgetting something duct tape

Don't miss that lumbar support pillow to under the shirt

 

[BlaezaLite]

I'm skinny, how dare you! Hmm, might be a good technique...
