Onoff

What about 50mm of PIR then 22mm of something like ProWarm or AmbiChipBoard pre routed chipboard? Or would a light aggregate, sand cement mix be better for sound deadening? @ProDave on here did some sort of biscuit mix upstairs I think.

Your road...a highway! ?

I would expect them just to want to see the wall boards and ceiling boards but unpainted / pre decoration. Imagine if you painted the ceiling and they said how do we know it's fire board? Ring and ask. Tell is what they say.

OTT. Vinyl tiles will butt up tight to each other. Looks very in keeping imo.?

Agreed. Our workshop at work is dark (cast offs) carpet tiles. Murder vacuuming swarf out of it! Plus you can't hear where a screw went when you drop it.

To be fair nothing happens until 14 seconds in and even then you have to look carefully to see anything. The sound is what makes it if you can get past the farm animal in pain.

VLC is the kiddie. PC, Android, Linux. Quicktime was the old goto for .MOV files.

He's behind the cameraman...

That's old school and I've done similar many times but won't he end up with scuffed, sanded lines in what looks like nice, shiny, new boards? That'd annoy the Hell out of me if I had to live with it for a while before covering with lino or whatever.

Chrome here. I can see the video but no sound. Using VLC. EDIT: I just turned the sound up. I think @pocster is molesting a cow in there...

I'd run masking tape up either side of the gap then fill with one of the products designed to be a GAP FILLING ADHESIVE. Like No Nails, No More Nails, Instant Nails etc. Then take of the excess with a scraper, credit card etc. I typed "gap filling adhesive" into the Screwfix site. Use the cheapest I would. Peel the tape off whilst still wet and let it all set. You might even have a tube(s) of something lying around. Old carpet tiles are a cheap floor covering if you can get them. Search Freeads, Gumtree etc.

You have to click on it and it downloads taking up valuable storage space on your device! ?

Fireline from British Gypsum and Fire Panel by Knauf for example are indeed available in 12.5 and 15mm thicknesses. https://www.british-gypsum.com/products/gyproc-fireline?tab0=0 & https://www.knauf.co.uk/store/fire-panel/c-23/p-45 Whilst you're in lockdown, I wonder if you might revisit making a lifter from scrap bits lying around. Your ceiling height is pretty low after all. May a step too far for you?

That blue Soundbloc board weighs just over 40kg per board. This sort of cheapo lift has only a 40kg capacity: The "better" types have around a 68kg capacity: You also want a plasterboard carrier to save your back amongst other things!

I'll have a look and see if I've a spare digital camera you can have for nothing.

The Anycubic i3 Mega S we have will restart where it left off even after a power failure. Yesterday it ran out of filament. It senses this and pauses whilst you change the reel then carries on. No visible "join" or anything.

@zoothorn.. my dear fellow. Hence my reading most of your posts less than I would.

I split the difference and ordered a cast piece 5mm thick, 550x550 with polished edges. Just over £20 delivered. Cheers. Lad is mulling a Pi camera set up so he can remotely see what's printing.

Just think how soon you might have got thd "right" answer with a few more pictures rather than trying to convey things with words!

This printer bed is allegedly designed to allow printing of ABS without adhesion promoters. You need however to protect against draughts causing sudden cooling of the piece etc. One worry is what size/speed fan for fume extraction that doesn't take out too much heat.

Looking to make an enclosure for the 3D printer. Probably on castors and likely with a pc fan at the back for fume extract to a window for when printing ABS. It'll in effect be two 600mm cubes. Top one for the printer and the lower one shelved out for storage. Plan for the top is to have a vertically sliding clear panel. This will nominally be 600x600. Not sure what to use, acrylic, polycarbonate etc. Also what thickness? Any thoughts? Cheers.

My 1863 terrace was built very similarly on just a widening of bricks as "footings".
