Do you rather set up fast and get to talking, or is messing around with the equipment part of the fun? What's your thought? 73,

What's with the 70s porn background music?

The meaning of life

Hey! I like stupid jokes and I like this built I’m gonna do it

I remember back in the 60’s and 70’s amateur radio builds were all about applying skill with good engineering practices. Today we don’t see that anymore. A person could instantly size up the capabilities of their soldering iron, just looking at an SO239 connector you would know that a 40 watt pencil iron just won’t work on that size of mass. This innate knowledge and experience is lost on today’s crowd. To crudely attempt a ground out would come the soldering gun, but that would only be done by the cb crowd. A Ham would solder the coax shield to a circle lug and fasten it the SO239 with a star or lock washer and a nut and bolt. Again, good engineering practices were the conscientious rule of the day. Shame we don’t see that level of skill and thoughtfulness in problem solving anymore…

nice

Good video, background music bed was annoying.

HOLY HECKFIRE!!! I may have built the boards for that old Tektronix TH 5006 depending on when it was built.

Hey thanks for your video of this Michael Martens, KB9VBR design with your simplified improvements. I’m building your design today, I like the idea of the 1” pipe segments friction fitting the tape inside the cross and t connectors. I have something to add that helps this idea fit together straighter and smoother. I noticed the cross and t connector fittings have an internal smaller I.D. And the tape measure binds and kinks in the center of the fitting. I shaved down those high areas with a 1/2” x 1 foot long wood dowel and a 1” wide x 120 grit sanding belt section taped to the dowel longways. I held the dowel and moved the pvc connector back and forth to keep it all square and parallel. In couple minutes smoothed out the bore where the measuring tape makes contact. It now sits flush with no bends or kinks when fixing into place with the 1” pipe segments. Also soldering the wires to the cupped side of the tape measure to avoid any further bending of the ends when assembled. Thanks again for the video.

Would've been good if you'd practised before turning the camera on. It doesn't sound like you have much of a clue, so I don't know to whom the video would appeal.

life, the universe, and everything!

Nice video 👍

If there were some indentations/holes in the bottom of a case and protrusions in the top, then they could lock into place when stacked vertically and not slide about. Less permanent than gluing them together.

For the filter, could you disconnect the RF bits, and set a timer manually, or somehow connect a wired switch to it? For the garage door, is there a channel selector on the unit you could perhaps change to a different channel?

move the weather station further away or add attenuation to your filter. as far as your garage door opener. mine went completely open and everyones remote would open my garage. what i find odd though is if you use the remote does the indoor weather station change its readings?

It prints drawer walls very slow because of maximum layer time. There is not so much to print. You can workaround this by putting multiple drawers at the same time. So there will be more material per layer. If you just speed up you risk that walls may deform as they will not be able to cool down properly. But if simple speedup works for you, its OK.

I've been measuring out and printing similar little vase mode subdividers for my existing drawers and boxes, i should throw my design up on thingiverse/thangs/printables sometime. Theyre good to reuse those bulky boxes and such while still saving space

For resistors, diodes, and other similar things I've actually found using a lever arch file and pockets designed for card collection (magic the gathering, etc.) All mine are just in a couple of files on the shelf.

I was expecting Gridfinity when you said printed organizer. This, is pretty neat too!

3 ring binders and baseball card or coin pages work great for a large variety of components as well.

I always round or chamfer the bottom inside corners to make it easier to get small parts out. Nice that the design uses vase mode to print the drawers, makes it quick.

Fast-print modular storage drawer system is another nice one.

@2:05 shout out to the Divine Mercy prayer card! :) Nice video! I should definitely make a couple of these! Thanks!

My first though is that it would be great if they would fit in a box or another case -sort small items into big groups, put big groups in a box, put box on shelf.

If you want to speed up the print of the drawers without having to manually up the speed at the printer for every print, check your print settings. Specifically External Perimeters speed. You'll probably notice that the External Perimeters speed is lower than the Perimeters speed. This is so the outside of regular prints looks pretty. Bump the External Perimeters speed up at least to the Perimeters speed to knock the drawers out faster. I don't know what slicer you are using so the terms might be a little different on your end. I use PrusaSlicer so that is where I got my terms. In PrusaSlicer you need to be on at least Advanced settings mode to see the speed settings. YMMV with other slicers.

Thanks Chris looks like a great little organization project!

So, just cut a bunch of pipe at random lengths the make it up as you go, ok. on to the Next video.

Look up a T2LT antenna. hust coax and a wire.

i use a dipole made with 1/2" copper pipe. it lays on the roof of my QTH because i am in an HOA.

Look into t2lt antennas. I might be biased since I've been experimenting with them a bit but it might just work.

I've built a "flowerpot" antenna for 6m a couple of years ago. It was for a club competition and I won! Let's not talk about it being by default as I was the only entrant...

Put together a 6m dipole.

I have a lot of luck with end-fed halfwaves. Easy to deploy, decent results and if you cut it right you don't need a tuner. NEver tried with 6m but the 40m one I built works great on 40, 20, 15 and with the tuner 160(ish) 80, 12 17 and 10

Congrats on 1000, and hope the kit sells well.

I'd think about using that pole to cast a line over some of those trees, if they were mine. If they aren't your trees, ignore this comment.

Thanks for all the fish...

Taut line hitch. I use them on my antennas too!

Hmm

1K now, and I saw that JPole at the FRARC hamfest. Maybe soon for my go box!

Isnt this design actually a slot antenna?

Question from someone who's never owned a 3D printer: can you print (using TPU ) small pickup rollers for a printer? Not the large main roller; these being the much smaller rubber pickup rollers that grip and carry the paper through the machine. Hoping I could do that for my vintage dot matrix, then sliding them over each of the four hard plastic cores. There's a split keyboard I also want to print, but that's another story altogether.

Yeah the days of tinkering and working on the printer more than creating is over . The bar has been raised and it is not going back. 3 years ago i had a cr-10 and it was a nightmare im using the peopoly forge now its large scale fast and quiet resin printer . I was just like you when i first started using it just amazed at how fast and quiet it is . Yeah its a whole new world in 3d printing.........

Fun bit of trivia: The A1 has no speakers of any kind. The little jingles it plays are all produced by the stepper motors.

It was great to watch you go through the same experience I did when I went from an Ender 3 to the P1P. Wishing you many happy prints in the future!

Nice to see how unbelievable fast it is and your face to this situation. I'm to exited because my arrives in Friday. 🎉

Hmmm, I show 1K now ;)

Print time is more like 12', ~13'. In total, calibration and whatnot, is 20'. I tried the benchy with the white filament that came with the printer, zero stringing! If you calibrate the flow with Bambu Studio for the filament you are using, I bet you wont see any stringing! (Fun fact, the latest Bambu Studio allows you to create calibrated profiles for different filaments, that you can then use with Bambu Handy app)

Same, got mine a week ago, printed complex stuff like torture toaster and gear top test from clockspring3d right out the box. I can't help laughing printing the sd card benchy on ludicrous mode, and it looks perfect as normal speed

You should check this out it’s for the filament waste catcher it on printable it called :BAMBU LAB A1 MINI and A1 - POOP COLLECTOR (ADDED V2)

Now that I've got a fast, reliable printer, what's your favorite ham-related print project? 73,
