  1. Tbh it's no use you buying a 3D printer, printing filaments are very sensitive to damp atmospheres! 😉
  2. Then you jack up the shed and slide the 7N in their place
  3. Drugs are not the answer! 😤
  4. Yes. You're over thinking it, it's a shed.
  5. You can pause/resume on the Anycubic i3 Mega S. Handy if we have a power cut. It doesn't work though if we have the borosilicate glass on. Resume ignores the Z axis alteration for the glass thickness. The Anycubic Ultrabase is very good.
  6. Go the extra mile! With the X1 you can print exotic filaments like carbon and glass fibre reinforced filaments. It's built tougher than the P1, all metal gears, nozzle geared up for abrasive materials like the above. Out of my price range. I go way back with this lad Andrew and he has the Bambu X1: https://www.crutchworks.com/
  7. No I don't know. Cheap seats / skip diver here.
  8. See we wanted to tinker, learn and do father and son stuff: Made a new base plate for the Anycubic. From this: Yes this: To this: Located the PSU outside the heated enclosure etc, etc. As I don't have a middle name I was considering Faff.
  9. 😂 YOU wanted to pay virca £200 and I delivered. @Thorfun's one is twice the price. A £5k Ultimaker S5 is the mutts nuts. Dual extruder to so you could print supports in say PVA (yes PVA glue in filament form) and soak them off in water once printing is completed. Auto bed levelling is fine if you can't use feeler gauges! Honestly that Ender is a great starter printer. Cabinet? Make your own like we have:
  10. The link I pm'd you does it all for you. Just drag the pick points for length, width etc and it'll produce an stl file. Put that into Cura or whatever slicing program to create the G-code for the printer. Merry Christmas Mrs Pocster!
  11. You could buy this. Same model as my lad. It wasn't bad out of the box but we've upgraded it beyond all recognition. Smoother, quieter, more reliable etc. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335060724660? The Anycubic i3 Mega S is I think a cheap clone of the Prusa 3.
  12. Resin yes if you want to print small, intricate parts maybe. Really messy. Requires washing, UV curing etc. You'll sell an Ender FDM printer all day long for near what you paid for it plus it'd be a really great introduction.
  13. PLA easiest to print, the most common etc. Then PETG. ABS and ASA really need an enclosure as a tendency to warp, toxuc fumes etc. TPU if you want to print any rubber products ☺️
  14. With your budget it's got to be a Bambu Lab X1. Super fast.
  15. Wrong forum. Head over to the MIG welding forum. (I'll apologise to them beforehand). Creality Ender 3 V2 maybe would get you started. Loads of support and upgradeable. At this price just buy it...now: https://store.creality.com/uk/products/ender-3-v2-3d-printer?utm_source=googleads&gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwyY6pBhA9EiwAMzmfwTOrWf7HGZ8tMiYGyk5sF1qDnIEAjL4DOs4L82VLj6FjDOAvezh7sBoCKUIQAvD_BwE No you can't colour match like that. Plastic primer and paint works.
  16. See page 2:
  17. I see a lot of raised floor systems sat on adjustable metal feet like this. Instead of being screwed down they bond the feet to the concrete floors with a "puddle" of adhesive: https://www.accessflooringshop.co.uk/products/mfh-007-steel-adjustable-pedestal-support-psa-90-mm-140-mm.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkJzm2ProgQMVV9XtCh3MywAzEAQYAyABEgLpofD_BwE https://www.accessflooringshop.co.uk/products/pedestal-adhesive-voc-free-single-part-9kg-mpa-003.html
  18. Hmmm...I fitted Pegler ball valve isolators either side of my mag filter on the boiler. One or both are letting by.
  19. How I did mine: Above I folded a stainless steel door plate and screwed to two joists. Then there's a nylon washer, a thick brass washer, then a BSP nut.
  20. Yes they work. I used Spax floorboard screws. They're excellent. 22mm chipboard floor. As solid as, no squeaks. https://www.screwfix.com/p/spax-tx-countersunk-self-drilling-flooring-screw-4-5mm-x-60mm-300-pack/88716?
  21. Could this be because a) the steels are in the wrong position or b) the posi joists are slightly too short? I'd be looking at where the steels are to the drawings.
  22. Get some gloss on that woodwork and it'll look stunning!
  23. I said it was OK, I'd do it. In reality it was really handy as I wood treated all the joists. Some boards were broken but back then I was getting them milled up to size by the local wood yard.
  24. Ham Smith!
  25. Erm...I do.
