Onoff

Our water board were happy for me to take pictures of the trench with a tape measure in it to show the depth. Tbh they never followed up.

1) Dig hole nom. 6' deep. 2) Invite said arboriculturalist to inspect 3) "Nudge" 4) Fire up the digger.

I only have access to Draftsight at the moment. Interestingly that allows export as a .stl. I might try opening the AutoCAD 2010 .dwg in Draftsight then simply exporting as a .stl and send you that? Another option is from within Drafsight I save it to an earlier Autocad .dwg and or .dxf...

I blame @Visti! ? Totally the wrong time of year to contemplate it but I'm considering (again) doing my dormer roof, or at least half of it, YES, in this weather! I NEED a big project to make a mess and take ages! Be nice for SWMBO to be able to moan about how I took the roof just before Christmas! One half has had £££ worth of Flexacryl etc put on as above and is holding up at the moment. A stain has recently appeared on our bedroom ceiling under the untouched side, no suprises there. Both sides were badly re-felted again as aforementioned. The side that needs doing is the really dangerous side in terms of fall hazards. Looking at it the other day and they definitely laid new felt over old with adhesive only at the edges. I don't think the new felt was even overlapped, just butt jointed judging by the way its separating at the joins. Shrinkage? Ideally I'd pay for a proper scaffold roof to shield the works from the elements but that wont happen. If I do it it'd be with some form of quick to deploy tarpaulin. Im really liking the idea of doing away with the centre "ridge" and just having one big roof area. Even considering an access hatch out of the top. Fibreglass seems the logical way to go but obviously not the weather for it. EPDM maybe...one big piece? Been putting this off for years as to really complicate things I'm still considering externally insulating the roof and then eventually down the front and cheeks of the dormer. Then later the hips either side. I've REALLY got to consider the detailing of this...time for a scale model maybe! Half thinking as an "interim" repair to reroof each half in EPDM to get over the immediate leak issues then later, in better weather rip the lot off and maybe even fibreglass? Even doing EPDM now the fascias and soffit boards need redoing along with new firings to increase the slope angle. Keep thinking of @Barney12's cracking detail of the fibreglass dormer with hidden gutters. Another JFDI job!

Trueview allows you to convert a new .dwg to be read by an old package. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-convert-a-dwg-file-to-a-previous-format.html

Jeremy, thanks for having a go with that file, sorry it didn't appear to work. I'll have another go tonight to try and save it as in .stl format.

Don't joke but someone is reproducing hard to source door handle inserts for the Capri already.

We "rescue" plants. The fig tree my bother wanted rid of. The two laurels were in a skip.

Thanks got the pm. I'm not hopeful, AutoCAD has saved the file with a weird .sv$ extenstion??? I'll send it anyway shortly, maybe it needs a package that reads STL files? Any colour's fine! Just seemed sensible to print something practical if we're going to try it so I grabbed the vernier and measured the remaining keyboard foot! Cheers

Honestly, please don't waste your time and kit to this extent. I'm in no rush. We should have a machine here come Christmas anyway!

Guessing these are the separate base ones? Only ever fitted them once. They do look bulky looking back! Weird how you forget things, could have sworn they were "flusher":

Thanks, just realised I don't have an email for you!

Nope, just 3 wires in and terminals from memory. Might have some pics somewhere...

How about this? I quickly knocked up my missing keyboard leg! Nom 27 x 24 x 3.

Thanks, what a polo sized thing maybe?

Come December the Draftsight on my machines stops working. Tbh I only ever used it as my AutoCAD won't work on my 64-bit Windows 7 pc. Rather than pay for Draftsight I might pay the money and invest in Longbow.

We once had to fit Kidde in a hurry, as a last minute thing when Aico weren't available (that afternoon). They were alright.

My apologies...it was ME that messed up! Yes it is the right way around. Makita battery to Ferrex tool. I looked at so many Parkside, Einhell, Ferrex, Workzone. Could have sworn it was the "wrong way around! Seems my AutoCAD 2010 offers the ability to export as a Lithography (*.stl) file, is this the correct format?

? See if you can download the STL: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motor-shows-beijing-motor-show/world’s-first-3d-printed-car-due-roads-2019 ?

Think you need a vcl in the make up of that section?

Pretty sure @Temp referenced a program earlier in the thread that allows you to slice STL files? I'm NOT looking forward to learning a new package(s) I can tell you now. AutoCAD till I die! Too old & jaundiced! (I will though).

Thanks. I think though mine will need to be specials: Makita battery to Ferrex tool. I can only find Ferrex battery to Makita tool as a ready made item.

Cordless tool battery adapters if I get my way! Can't see the finish needs to be perfect.

Why specifically did you go for a resin printer?
