Progenitor of the Weird Knife Wednesday feature column. Is “column” the right word? Anyway, apparently I also coined the Very Specific Object nomenclature now sporadically used in the 3D printing community. Yeah, that was me. This must be how Cory Doctorow feels all the time these days.
Turn something this into a moderately off road capable adventure bike and I’m sold. The BMW and KTM guys will absolutely pay $20,000 for it, albeit maybe not $37,000.
My KLR has about 200 miles of range per fill, if you’re even the slightest bit careful with it, which is necessary for excursions out into the bush where there are neither gas stations nor charging points.

On my site I have long since routed requests from Amazon associated IP blocks directly to the wood chipper, so it’s nice to see that I was vindicated in doing so. Their request patterns did indeed look pretty scrapey and I was wondering why.
I’ve found this to be decreasingly the case as time goes on, thankfully. Of course you can pay any amount of money if you want to for filaments made of fancy engineering materials and subsequently drive yourself nuts trying to get them to print on your machine. But if you’re just sticking to basic PLA and even PETG I’m continually astonished at the good results I achieve even using cheap and highly suspicious spools straight from China.
Printing in ABS is about as fancy as I bother to go on a semi-regular basis (the Rockhopper is designed around it, in fact) and I have a couple of spools of glass fiber filled Nylon and even a roll of polycarbonate lying around for a rainy day, you know, just in case. But I haven’t found a compelling application for them yet. For the majority of what most people print, PLA is just fine and also far and away the easiest to work with.
I’ve been happy with my two Qidi printers so far. My current X-Max 3 is probably a bit out of your range, but their Q2 is precisely $499 USD at the moment.
I fixed it, thanks for letting me know.
Not in this instance in particular, but I have a copy of Fantasia (i.e. the recalled/rareish game, which makes this even more annoying) which also refuses to boot. I’ve never been able to determine why. The contacts look good, all the traces look good, no part of the board is cracked, and staring at it under magnification doesn’t reveal any of the pins on the chips lifted or anything. It’s the only cartridge game I have for any system that doesn’t work. 'Tis a mystery.
FYI, your $600 Maytag did not come with a 10 year warranty. It comes with a 10 year parts only warranty, labor is not covered, only on the compressor. Labor is only covered for one year.
Here’s a compressor. You figure out the rest.
Here’s the fine print:

There are a lot of birds who have a silly facial expression built in, but if there were a contest for that I think cormorants would be top contenders.
She’s actually named Sandie, but all of our cats have secondary names and we also call her Meow-Meow because she likes to double meow whenever she wants something.
It can be, but IIRC in the case of the Bored Ape Yacht Club ones it wasn’t. I think.
Maybe someone who was smart enough to buy one can chime in and let us know the mechanics.
Well, you didn’t leave the house without your sword again, did you?
It might be better to start her off with a Lancrastian Army Knife instead.
It’s even worse. You didn’t buy the picture of a monkey, you bought a link which may if you are lucky still resolve to some server somewhere which hosts a picture of a monkey.

…I did not have linking to The Last Days of FOXHOUND on my bingo card today.
Truman rather famously ended the war with Japan…
Although to be fair, Japan should not be circled under the Marshall Plan, which was contained to western Europe. Nobody ever came up with a snappy name for the postwar occupation/reconstruction of Japan.
I never used the one on the CD case, I just used all ones. Or 123451234512345, etc. for Windows 98.
Bronze is still technology. So are stone tools, and sticks when they’re used as tools.
Given your requirements of no cloud, no SaaS, and running in Linux you have already arrived at the correct two choices, depending on what you’re trying to model.
I am a diehard FreeCAD user, and I would say just stick with it until you are able to build what you’re trying to build. Via the expedient of Noodling Around With It I’m now proficient enough to do everything I personally want to do with FreeCAD, i.e. using its part design tools and studiously avoiding all of the other workbenches I have no use case for.
