Well, happy 21st! @Temp, do you reckon the MOSFET upgrade as worthwhile? He (we ?) do intend printing ABS: https://m.all3dp.com/1/anycubic-i3-mega-upgrades-mods/

Me too. Mines in the citric acid bath still. Complete with little folded tray that sits in it. I painted mine gold hammered finish.

Do you have any heating in there anyway?

Brand new drill just arrived. Same model that died it would appear:

Is that 1st floor slate cladding original, surely not?

Lucky he wasn't a prisoner of the Australians! I bet an upside down blade takes some getting used to ? Always cut on the push here. Get more weight behind it. As an apprentice we were expected to be able to cut accurately to 20 thou.

I remember years back a chap I knew invented a cable reeling system which tbh he should have patented but he wasn't interested. Various rip offs ensued but they tried cheapening the design substituting white nylon instead of Nylatron. The cheap copies nylon components all swelled up and seized!

Jeremy has kindly printed me some more to try. This time I've added the radii on the stub axles that I forgot last time on the model I sent him. I can't see that moisture conditioning like you suggest could hurt so may give that a go. This I thought a good read: https://www.plasticstoday.com/materials/materials-analyst-part-85-fixing-brittle-nylon-product-water/141225133500 As a an aside I've also ordered a reel of ABS which might prove stronger? That and some wood PLA so my lad can print his sister a Baby Groot!

Sweet! https://all3dp.com/1/mycusini-chocolate-3d-printer-review-a-real-treat/

Sandvik have always been my go to ever since my old man worked for BG ? If you want a step up then the white, 8% cobalt ones by Morse are a dream imho. (As are their red hole saws).

I shall open the box with my face as close as possible then.

What do the manufacturers instructions say ref clearance above the fittings? I'm thinking Chinese, Indian or possibly cake!

I think the only downside is if you're unlucky enough to drag a nasty smell like bonfires or sillage through your single intake.

About 3 weeks ago I sent my problem Parkside SDS drill bought from Lidl back to Kompernass for inspection etc all under their pre paid courier service. I've now had an email back saying I'm getting a "package" from them by the end of the week. New drill, repaired old one, I've no idea!

Welcome David. I'd urge you if you can to visit a passive build. The feeling is odd coming from a traditional house. Warm, totally draught free and quiet. Fitting MVHR to a passive place and yours, well there's really no comparison. Have an air tightness test done, I reckon it would shock you. Your place doesn't have an airtight, thermal envelope by design so you've multiple leakage points and thermal bridges. Snap btw! ?

MVHR...less dust in the house, less pollutants like radon, off gassing from furnishings and carpets, people on here with allergies report benefits, mould issues reduced, constant fresh air.

Not me. I only like Aurora / Enlite anyway. Typical instructions: 304852.pdf

Another link but this time banggood: https://m.banggood.com/18V-520N_m-Cordless-Brushless-Impact-Wrench-Stepless-Speed-Change-Switch-Adapted-To-18V-Makita-battery-p-1576432.html?

Never delivered as I understand. Chap on the mig welding forum just bought the knock off impact gun only to realise his Makita drill/charger/batteries are G series so the batteries don't fit!

DO NOT BUY THIS...SCAM ...according to one of the welding forums: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Makita-DGA454-18V-LXT-Angle-Grinder/22031187164?iid=362846091849

I'm baffled...

Could the barn itself be acting as a big "boom box"? Maybe the sound reflecting of angled roofs internally towards the guest accommodation etc.

Have a search on eBay for used "accoustic foam panels" maybe?

I think you need to complain to the builder then have all the windows replaced asap. ?

Isolate the power first ffs! I really wouldn't recommend the dope fiends idea of covering the motor in foam. Recipe for overheat and failure that is. Also makes maintenance a bitch. His was a plastic encased inline fan. I think he put a bin liner over it first then surrounded by the box and foamed.
